She is not going to school far away or living on campus. She will be commuting and that way I can keep an eye on what she's up to.
 
You give what you can afford and feel comfortable with. For some this may be $20, for others $20,000.

Quite a few of my friends got new cars for high school graduation and down-payments put on a house for college graduation (some were even given houses totally paid off).
 
People now get shit for graduating highschool? Because, you know, the odds "accomplishing" that are 7/10
 
Yea my parents are not Americanized so they didn't really know about gifts when I graduated high school. Where they are from the accomplish ment was when you finish college. Anyway I got her a nice card and put some cash in there. I'm sure I'll be helping her get books and stuff too in the fall.

She had a nice dinner with her friends at a steakhouse and my mother would not let me chip in on the bill. She also got a car a month or two ago so she's set.

Hell when I graduated college they took me to freaking ihop lol. Of course I'm the oldest so they expect everything from me.

Well it's the truth. I didn't really care at the time. I'm not one to expect any type of gift from anybody. Parents are always more lenient on daughters anyway.
