Is it normal to be depressed on my high school graduation day?

I was very sad today on my graduation day. I turned down a party and cried when I came home. My best friend was murdered at age 15 my sophomore year by a gangbanger. He was a smart kid and never got to graduate high school. It kills me to think about it! But why can't I feel happy for myself getting this far? I overcame a lot and somehow managed to make it into a college. I'm in so much pain right now even though this should be one of the highlights of my life. When I think about graduating high school I think about my friend never making it this far....

Is It Normal?

  • Its normal to grieve over a loved one but you gotta think positive to. Your bestfrind don't want u to be upset and depress your self u can look at it as you made it for him and you
