To think getting into college isn't impressive anymore?

[LilacBearberry]

Surely not Facebook worthy? I don't mean university... College.

Way to piss on someone's bonfire.

Yeah, it’s only PhD or higher for Facebook these days

Only if from a good department, though, obviously. And only if no corrections required. And depends on the examiners - I wouldn't wipe my arse with the PhDs some people pass.

My ds has autism, struggled in school massively. When he went to college I was delighted! He struggles, it's 3 days a week but that's a massive thing for him. He isn't passing all the tests but enough to keep progressing. I haven't posted anything about it on Facebook as I don't really use it for personal stuff but I am incredibly proud of him so could see why someone would want to share it

It's already been said OP but it bears repeating.

You are a nasty person.

Whenever I read something about fb as sneery as the Opening Post, it just reinforces my view that I made the right decision never to use it.

YABU and not a nice person OP.

Hello?.......
OP?...........
Anyone?...........

Surely bitching about what somebody is posting on Facebook isn’t worthy of its own post 🧐

Not coming back onto the thread makes you even more of a twat IMO

A picture of a baby scan isnt facebook worthy either. Ooh you had sex!

Pictures of your kids isnt facebook worthy really.

I once put on Facebook that I was proud of myself for keeping a basil plant Alice through maternity leave. It died shortly after

A vast improvement on all the ”here is a photo of tonight’s burnt offering” shite I have clogging up my timeline.

Carry on goading, OP! 🙄

I posted on FB about passing a NVQ.

I really should just do away with myself now, shouldn’t I? the shame, the shame

😳😢😳😢

I suppose it depends. I wouldn't have done it because at my school you just carried on into sixth form. If you've chosen/had interviews/met grades and are going somewhere new it's more exciting and perfectly worthy of a post.

Are you jealous of the attention they're getting? Is the attention you're getting here making you feel better? What is it about your own life that's making you be so negative about someone else happiness? Do you need a hug OP? Because being an arse isn't the way to go about getting one.

I once posted on FB about finding the bottom of the washing basket. I was very proud!

YABAD

Poor Alice the basil plant :(

@sinceyouask gone but not forgotten

I put up a picture of some macaroons I ate on Facebook just now. I didn't even make them, I just ate them.
I think with this in mind, celebrating a College acceptance is indeed Facebook worthy.

Guys, seriously... I'm not being mean. I tried to go to college at 16, but OCD nearly took my life and I've just been accepted on to an access course at 19. I wouldn't say it was impressive. Yes, my mum wanted to plaster it all over Facebook (I know I'm 19, but because of the situation, she wanted to). I feel rather embarrassed even saying I'm going back to college. I don't think it is impressive anymore, like someone said, it's just a milestone. It's not impressive when you learn to drive, but many people still can't do it for various reasons. I don't think it's mean... I was just asking.

Aww its your MUM posting on FB about you?
Well, then, its deffo FB worthy! (I am the same as your mum... )

Well done for getting into college

My child just did extremely well in her final year of school. She topped her school, in fact, has been accepted into the best university in the country (in not in Britain BTW) and given a generous scholarship based on her academic record and overall awesomeness. I’d love to put something on Facebook about this but it’s people like you that stop me. I’ve rarely post anything on there, and when I do it’s usually about my cat. In 15 years, I reckon I’ve had about 4 posts kid-related. Can’t I have 1 boast?

Lilac she’s proud of you. That’s really lovely.

TheClaws fabulous! Go ahead and have good old boast on FB

I do all the time

That's quite the narrative twist
