Never went to these nor purchsed a yearbook. Did not have a good time at all so had no reason celebrate them. Went to graduation for family only.

I used to go to school discos when I was at primary school, but they didn't really have anything like that at secondary school.

I've always hated sports days. The only sport I liked as a kid was swimming. Otherwise I didn't like sports day. Sports day was a day we had once a year at school, and all the parents came to watch us participate in sports on the school field. I was never that confident, and the other kids were always too quick and rough for me. I think I had Dyspraxia, because I was no good at aiming or anything like that. Also I didn't like being watched by lots of people.

I didn't go to the prom. In my last year of school I had a lot of issues with my ''friends'', and I lost trust in them, and so I didn't want to go to the prom and either they not turn up or just not speak to me and I end up just sitting about on my own. There was one girl who I could have gone with who had Epilepsy and also social awkwardness (she forced herself to socialise more than I did), but I was afraid that she might suddenly not turn up and then I'll end up going on my own. So I just thought it was safe not to go at all, although part of me did want to go at the same time. Life is hard when you don't have hardly any friends.
