Uh, I'm talking about normal people actually. My case, I cried out loud "Let me go home already" because the graduation ceremony was too long, from 8 in the morning until almost 7pm.
Guess it depends the country then. Never had any kind of ceremony like in Japan for example. Oh, but maybe at University? That I don't know since I've never attended one.

I for one hated my university graduation ceremony. The one held by the various schools of the university had the main School of Arts and Sciences section going until about 11 PM... we stood outside in an occasional drop or two of rain for two hours, with no one bringing an umbrella, and then it dropped below 10 C once the sun set, and there was wind. No one brought a hoodie either because it was scheduled to end before that, but accursed Trump and Biden security crews got in the way.
Almost everyone who walked across the stage beelined for the exit. The others were waiting for their friends.
I never went to my high school graduation. I don't need to spend hours listening to the most PC kid in our class talk about world peace and other kinds of shit that we all know he/she doesn't really believe in. I just got my credentials sent through the mail. Several of my friends waited until the last week to confess (like a romcom!) which I thought was absolutely ridiculous since teen couples are sketchy at best for a real relationship, and they likely will never see each other again, but on top of that several couldn't even go up and talk to them. They asked me to get their contact information for them! I still did it, but it always amazed me to this day that there actually are people like in anime in the real world. Personally, I loved high school because that is where I learned most of the craft I depended on later on in life. The only thing that pissed me off were the teachers who would always complain about how little they were paid, tried last ditch attempts to indoctrinate us politically, and gave stupid grading in subjective but mandatory classes like english or art because they thought the kids in the top 10% academically needed to be cut down a notch to help the other kids who didn't work as hard (socialism and all that). One teacher just straight up told the class that he is giving everyone with 4.0 averages a max grade of C for the first semester no matter what we do simply so we "know what failure feels like". It was so much BS, but when I brought it up to the Principle, she wouldn't do anything because that teacher also happened to be a very close friend of someone on the district education board that pulled all the important strings in the school. Aside from that though, I liked high school, especially since I was a member of the go-home club.
I rather think those systems which aspired to socialism, or at least the marxist-leninist variety, were not inclined to coddling or equalization --- more into ruthlessly promoting the elites. Which includes those graded as best and most intelligent; those with richer parents; and those who were teacher's pets.
You need only the best to put their heart ands soul into running whatever heroic motherland one is in. The rest can go hang.
[ Much like capitalist societies actually. ]

Anyway, I hated school. And didactism generally after that.

Wow. That's a textbook case of Tall Poppy Syndrome.
Tall Poppy Syndrome basically just means begrudging others for their successes, like that asshole teacher mentioned by 79248cm/s.
Seung-Hui Cho was more like the case of a socially-awkward individual (with possible development disabilities) getting bullied and shunned until he became messed up in the head. Classic psychological profile for school shooters/stabbers, sadly.
Tall Poppy Syndrome may have played a factor (since he was considered gifted during elementary), but I think he was bullied/shunned more for being socially awkward and 'different' (immigrant) than for being gifted.
Funnily enough, I was well known in school as the "gun nut". I wore an old Vietnam ALICE rig every day and various military helmets and surplus night vision devices I pieced together. Whispers went through the halls not to mess with me or my friends because who knows what I was building in the metalshop and plotting (*ufufufu~*). One crazed parent even stalked me and reported to the police that I was preparing for mass shooting (it was around columbine so everyone was scared). I think she probably saw me in my garage building scope mounts for surplus rifles or casting ammunition which was my self-employed part time job. Anyways, the school called the police pulled me out of class with a 3 teacher escort and brought me to the office, but the campus officer when he saw me already knew I was an upstanding student and a very law-and-order kind of guy from scouting so he quickly dismissed me.
Several of my friends very much did fit into a school shooter profile before I met them, but luckily I met many people like them in the past since until high school I never stayed at one school longer than a year due to my Dads work so I learned how to quickly make friends and eliminate bullies. Once I got them on the right path and got them to fight back against their bullies they also became very straight and narrow kind of guys. Some of them went into a similar field as me and we worked together every so often. In my humble option, if we let kids slug it out every so often they will get the fight out of their system and not bottle it up until they decide the only way out is to kill everyone. The first time you get smacked in the jaw you quickly learn to pick your fights wisely. Bullies also learn it doesn't pay to be one when their prey becomes the hunter.
Because a wedding dress is only worn during a wedding ceremony.Daddy will cry even though it's a festival?Maybe.Even though I'd intended to keep fit even after I got married.........
I see...There's no need to hurry and grow up.I wanna wear them...How strange...Is a wedding ceremony some sort of a festival...?Because daddy and mommy will enjoy seeing you grow, that's why.I guess so.But daddy might cry when that time comes.Eh?I wanna wear pretty clothes too, just like Cinderella!Why?Uhh... Well, it's kind of like a festival...Don't wanna! I wanna grow up soon!Another peaceful holiday, it seems.Will I look good in them when I grow up? I wanna wear them!
