Answer 1

SWEET HEART , I KNOW THAT WAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY FOR YOU & YOU WERE HURT VERY MUCH . BY ALL MEANS YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE MAD & HURT , AT LEAST 1 OF YOUR PARENTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YOU . HAVE YOU ASK THEM WHY THEY WERE NOT THERE & HOW IT MADE YOU FEEL ? IF NOT ASK THEM & TELL THEM HOW YOU FEEL , THEY SHOULD KNOW HOW MUCH IT UPSET YOU & WHY . CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTION TO MIDDLE SCHOOL .

Answer 2

First, stop skipping your English/Literature class. Your grammar and spelling/speaking is horrendous! I could barely read/understand what you were writing.

But other than that, you're a 6th grade female. You're at that emotional age where girls become crazy, over sensitive and well crazy! (been there, done that) It's all cause of hormones. You're parents will do far worse to hurt you during this time so be prepared.

But ask them why they didn't come. Unless you already know and just aren't saying. Seems odd that they would just randomly not come.

All you can do is be vocal with them at this point and flat out explain how much they let you down and hurt you. Tell them that you know you are young but that you are very disappointed and that you are extremely hurt because you feel they don't support you. All you want is their love, support and being there for you physically. It's not like you have promotions every week!

Good luck!

Answer 3

I’m sorry you feel like you should be mad at your parents, but I’m afraid that would also probably be a waist of effort as well. If you’re talking about what I think you are, than I should point out that they probably didn’t have these things called a ‘promotion’ (graduation is the term used out here) for the transition from 6th to 7th grades. It was only within the past 15 years that schools decided to make this transition into a big deal and cause for a celebration. When my children graduated from 6th grade my wife at the time and I attended only the youngest daughter’s graduation because we didn’t know that it was being made into a ‘major event’ in academic advancement. Many parents I know feel that a celebration of their child’s transition from 6th to 7th grades is a celebration of mediocrity (like celebrating your child growing from a size 4 shoe to a size 5, it’s just not that big a deal). The same goes for Jr. High School to Sr. High School. The one that everyone agrees on as being a major accomplishment in their child’s academic development is graduating from Sr. High School.

Answer 4

I think 6th grade promotion is a BIG deal. It is so very important to have your parents there supporting you and being proud of your achievement. I can't think of one good excuse that a parent would miss such an event.Get very mad and have a fit. Talk to your parents and tell them how disappointed and hurt you were because they couldn't show up. Tell them that you feel you can't count on them so from now on you will have Aunt Barbara (or someone) come to the event so that you will have someone cheering for you.

Take Care & Good Luck

Answer 5

what on earth? I thought it was something like a promotion for work at first, then a High School or University/college graduation, not something like a 6th grade graduation. Come on, they'll be there for your 8th grade graduation in two years, I didn't even go to my 6th grade grade cause I thought the concept was lame.


Well, I guess it would be a big deal if you were the only one that didn't have parents. It's okay to be upset, talk to your parents and if they had a good excuse forgive them, if not vent to us again. I would be super pissed if my parents broke a promise.

Answer 6

i am sorry that you had to go through that 6th grade graduation and your parents were not there,have you told them they should of been there it is alright to be nagry at them they need to know even if you just be moody around them so they know how your feeling about it,they should of been there for you and it is ok to cry,unfortunately some parents are not there at all times but this one time they should of been there,if i were there i would give you lots of cuddles and take you out to make you feel better im sorry for your hurt and you can cry it will make you feel better just be proud of your self and remind your self that one day when your a mother you will never miss your own daughters graduation,see you babygirl and tonight look up and the first star you see thats ahug from me to you

Answer 7

Talk to your parents, tell them how you feel. Don't pretend everything is ok. What happens for your next promotion. They may think it's ok not to show up again cause you didn't seem to care. Let them know you care and that you were hurt. After you talk to them, be strong, don't keep thinking about it, move on and look forward to the seventh grade.

Answer 8

Sorry to hear of that, Its pretty sad when a parent dosent stick to their word. but have you asked them about it? Maby something very important came up. Sometimes parents forget as well, As hard as it sounds they have alot goin on in there lives as well as your's, and It just take's 1 thing like a late bill or getting fired. Best bet would be to ask them why they didnt show up, and if theres a decent reason and they are sorry then i wouldnt be mad. but if they were at the lake getting hammerd and were to wasted to drive, yea i would be pissed

Answer 9

It's ok to be mad or upset with your parents for not being there for you on your special day. If I were you I'd let your mom/dad know exactly how you felt when they weren't there so in the future they wont let history repeat. Even as adults we love for our parents to be there are on a special occasion because we want our parents acception/love and know they are proud of us for what we have accomplished

Answer 10

omg i am also graduating 6th grade and i would also be mad if my parents did somthin like that to me! i would be mad at them for a while but a mom and a dad are always fr ever in ur life! they were the ones that gave birth to, they were the ones that raised into the person that u are now this day... u could be mad at them but love them at the same time,

Answer 11

they definitely dropped the ball on this one.

Did you talk to them about it? calmly? ask them why they weren't there? Tell them that it was an important day for you and that you were embarassed because it made the other people think that they didn't care?

Listen to what they have to say. and think carefully when they ask how they can make it up to you?

have them call school and see if the staff took pictures and if you are in any of them/could have copies.

good luck and I'm sorry.
