My eyes got stuck rolling. This is part of the reason why this generation is going to grow up to be so entitled. Most of the kids are being more mature and flexible than their parents about all of the senior stuff being canceled! When I was a senior, I did not care about any of those events and did not even go to most of them. I went to graduation, but could have done with out. You're supposed to graduate from high school! Unless there are extenuating circumstances, it is not special or a huge accomplishment. My parents told me several times throughout my senior year, "Being a senior is nothing special. College graduation is the big one." Most of the kids of the parents who post on here are probably going to college. They'll get to have a graduation ceremony in 2-4 years. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world and 41,000 in the U.S. alone will not get even live another day because of this pandemic, missing prom and high school graduation are small potatoes in comparison.

No one is minimizing the amount of suffering this pandemic is causing around the world.  It is possible to care about those people and still be sad about missing senior year events.  And I cared a lot about prom and graduation in high school.  I am still close with many high school friends (I'm 33 years old) and we still mention funny things that happened during those events.  See we can all list anecdotes until we are blue in the face that contradict each other.  There is nothing wrong with caring about special events in life.  [/quote]
