    Why did you graduate so late? How did your friends and family react? What are your plans going forward? Would you do anything differently in hindsight?

      “Why did you graduate so late?”

      I had to repeat the 7th and 9th grade.

      “How did your friends and family react?”

      My mom and dad were very disappointed and siblings and friends just thought it was funny.

      “What are your plans going forward?”

      When I graduated I had no plans/opportunities for the future and spent the next three years as a NEET but recently I’ve been working on getting a boyfriend and making enough money to see a therapist.

      “Would you do anything differently in hindsight?”

      I would have been more open about my special needs and I wouldn’t have tried all those drugs. I should have put more time into convincing the teacher to let me use my phone during English class for spellings. That could have been amazing for my grades.

    I’d ask a question, but I’m not sure I’d trust the answers of someone who struggled to pass high school.

    Tap for spoiler

    I apologize in advance, I can’t help but be an asshole, it’s a failing of mine for sure. What are you planning on doing next? College? Trades? Military? Drugs?

      You really hyped up the question. It no big deal.

      What are you planning on doing next? College? Trades? Military? Drugs?"

      Would love to marry a rich man (hopefully, my bf makes it big) and move to a warm country. I don’t think I could do any education as I wasn’t good at it for the first 20 years of my life.
