Maybe I am being petty but
I am really upset. I am graduating college in one week ( I am really excited about this). Well my younger sister is getting married in 9 months and NONE I MEAN NO ONE in my family has acknowledged that my graduation is in a week. It is all about her and her wedding. I feel like me going to school is nothing and that it doesn't matter. It does to me but shouldn't they be a excited for me.
Like I said maybe I am being petty but I feel ignored

You are not being petty...it is hurtful to have worked so hard and not get any acknowledgement from your family.
I had the same thing happen to me when I completed my Master's Degree. Okay, yes I was an adult with a family...but I would have appreciated a card at the minimum congratulating me!
So...from me to you...CONGRATULATIONS!!! Well done! You should be very proud of yourself!

You're not being petty at all. You have a right to want them to be there for you. And congratulations it takes a lot of hard work to get an education and you should be proud of yourself for doing it.

You can't ungraduate from college and there is always the possibility that they get divorced in the long run

Thank you all for telling me I am not being petty. I have really beat myself up over this. I have been told I was being self centered and did not care about my sister. Hey at least I know my virtual family loves me right!!
