Should I get a High School Graduation ring?

[moe11888]

Should I get a Hight School Graduation ring? I don't think I want one, but I sort of do. Did any of you regret not getting one? And if I dont get one now, can I just get one later on in life, if I still want it?

[ex0]

If you think you'll wear it then go ahead, I personally think they are kind of lame and overpriced.

[evilmax17]

Nope. I didn't get one, and it's the best $300 I've ever saved. Unless you've got rediculous pride in your school, don't buy into the hype. It's something you'll wear until graduation, and then NEVER AGAIN. Save the cash.

[Squirms]

Never bought one, and never regretted not having it.

[moe11888]

I dont no if I am going to wear it. Ive never owned a ring before(other than the 25 cent ones). They are overpriced though.

I dont have any school pride.

[Ledhed]

Dude, this is CAG. Don't you dare spend that kind of money on something whose sole purpose is to remind you of a time that you'll forget the moment you are out of it's context. Save that money for something that matters: college.

They arent all that expensive. I could get a $70 Celestrium ring. It has a lifetime warranty. The next one above that is $145.

[Graystone]

never got one and saved 500 bucks. they are just another thing for the graduation company to make money on. and if you never wore jewelry you will never wear this. what high school you went to only matters when you are old. I bought a whole bunch of stuff for graduation and the only thing I used or still have is the yearbook that is the best thing to buy. purchase 2 of them one to put up in comic book plastic and another to have around and out. Way better then a ring I think.

[karmapolice]

School pride is for Jocks...people that need to "fit in" to be liked...if you have to be like everyone else to feel liked and your so insecure that it helps you...then by all means buy one...after that you can go to AE and spen 150 on a shirt and pants and maybe if the socks are half off you could get a pair...you know...to top it off...

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

yeah next year, im not getting graduation pics or a graduation ring

and saving myself a boatload of mulah

[bignick]

Never bought one, and never regretted not having it.

Same here. I was happy with my yearbook.

[karmapolice]

Im not walking or buying grad. pics...I want to get out as fast as I can...

Just because you have pride in your school does not mean you are a jock.

and do not get a class ring. Waste of money

[Scorch]

Nope. I bought one. I lost it.

[Xevious]

High School doesnt matter. College matters more.

I never got a ring and I never gave it a second thought until you brought it up.

[fieldkillah]

I didnt need a graduation ring, my super bowl ring for high school football was much better than the rings people were getting.

[Graystone]

Im not walking.

I do recommend marching though I think that is the best thing you can do and it is free. I felt great at mine. the only comparsion I can think of is like being on trail and the jury being out for 14 years and finally saying not gulity. the best felling in the world when they call your name and get that damned diploma that "so hard to get, the thing you need to be active in this society"

[howlinmad]

Been out about 12 years, and I quit wearing it about a year or so out. But, I do not regret it, actually, it's on my desk hutch right now.

Now here comes the advice part, and where I sound lame. I was told those were some of the best days of my life, those people were full of crap and a bunch of dumbasses. Funny, they got smarter the older I got.

Enjoy it. And get your ring.

[karmapolice]

Walking is not free...you have to pay for the gown and pay for invites...its like 100+ dollars

[karmapolice]

I think High School will be the shittiest time in my life...dealing with shitty people...having to deal with violence and loud annoying people...I just hate it...I go to high school only so I can get out of it...

[Sartori]

Walking is not free...you have to pay for the gown and pay for invites...its like 100+ dollars

Eh, I wouldn't have walked, either.

Not my thing.

[polobearjp]

Walking is not free...you have to pay for the gown and pay for invites...its like 100+ dollars
That's true about the cap & gown thing but invites? Pshh, screw that. Just make a thread here about it and e-mail the link to all your friends/relatives. :D

[karmapolice]

The invites are part of the as they call it "Graduation Package"

[bluenatas09]

I didn't get one. I graduated last year and don't regret ONE bit not getting a ring...it's not like I'd ever really wear it that much anyway...

[CheapyD]

Save your money. They are lamish.

[CheapyD]

Cheapy double posting...now theres a site my eyes have never seen

[bignick]

Damn! I did a print screen on that one.

[CouRageouS]

you can go to AE and spen 150 on a shirt and pants and maybe if the socks are half off you could get a pair...you know...to top it off...
Is American Eagle really seen as being that expensive? I get some clothes there and it really isn't that expensive. Now Abercrombie & Fitch, they are expensive. Their clothes are like fucken $100 for some tore up jeans.

On the ring thing, don't do it. Seems more of a way for chicks to get their parents to buy them some jewelry. I agree with everyone who said just go with a yearbook. Its all you really need as memorabilia from high school (that you would need to buy that is). I'm going into my second year of college and don't regret passing on the ring. You'll be too busy changing your major and deciding what to do with life.

no he embellished it etremely. I have gotten pants for 10 from AE, and a jacket for like 30 bucks. AF is expensive, but their pants and shorts are quality.

[rajchakrabarti]

THere is no point of getting a highschool ring.. just get laid at your prom.


highschool = fun

college = much better

work= sucks

[Tromack]

I say no. I don't believe in any class rings, least of all highschool College I can understand, but often people get rings because they went to a good college and want to flaunt it.

You should walk however.

[suko_32]

I don't get the point of getting a ring personally. I'm in the same situation as the OP though.

[lionheart4life]

I would recommend getting the cheapest ring if you have any desire to get one. Thats what I did and I only really wore it a few times. Who knows you might regret it later in life if you have some kind of fond memories of high school and wish you had the ring. They are in no way worth paying $300 for, since you will most likely wear it the day you get it, maybe graduation and then probably never again. So basically I would say get the cheap one just to avoid ever regretting not getting one, but overall they're really not worth it, just try to minimize the fleecing that the ring company is doing to you by selling an overpriced ring.

[CaseyRyback]

Also my parent's are complete tight wads and they bought everything for my gradation.

Also I think I got like 550 bucks.

[bfg9k]

I had a blast in high school. However, I didn't get a class ring and don't regret it. Get a camera and take pictures instead. Worth a heck of a lot more than a ring if you ask me.

[nikkai]

If you have no school pride there's not much of a point. It's a reminder of your high school days. Most people who did get them, we were hella involved in school ie: sports that actually won championships etc

You'll have another chance with college rings, and again it's all about how much you want to remember college. I personally loved it and the frat that I was in so I got one along with a display. I won't really wear it unless I get an interview by a dsp alumni, but hey, it's good memories.

[coolsteel]

Just buy a super cheap ring if you sort of want one, that way if you regret it you can just say oh well it wasn't that much.

[fireball343]

if you plan to stop at high school, buy it, if your going to actually move on to colleage, then no.

[KingDox]

I got one, but my parents paid for it. I don't wear now but I do like having it. When I go out some place fancy I like to wear it. I feel like it shows that I know were I come from and remember my exeriences as I grew up.

The funny thing is that given the chance to get a college ring, I passed. My degree is enough of a reminder of my college.

[souNReAL]

If you're a loser and you feel graduating high school will be the highest point in your life before working at McDonalds for 30 years then get it.....if there is better things on the horizon.....I advise against it.

[thatstoobad]

i didn't buy a ring, i didn't go to prom, and i have never regretted it.

but to the people (or person) who said they don't intend to get pictures or walk, it would probably be best to go to the graduation ceremony and get your graduation picture. not for yourself, but for your parents. they spent a crapload of money on you to get you to that point, the least you can do is give them an hour or so that they can be proud and say "that's my boy". unless your parents don't care, but i doubt that.

[Chris Dillon]

mine was 323. Is pretty nice. I wouldnt have payed that much but when my parents said pick one well thats what i did. Very Rarely leaves my drawer. Get a cheap one.

[karmapolice]

I dont know if my mom cares...I think shell be happy if I graduate...I mis-spoke myself I mean A&F not AE...If my mom insists I will go to get a damn picture...but I dont see the point of walking on a stage to get something and paying for the gown and shit just to be able to say f* you and leave

[Mustang O-Line 75]

I have to decide about this.

If my football team wins the championship, then i get to buy a ring for that, and probably won't want a class ring.

But if we don't win the championship this year, i might get a class ring.

I do have a lot of pride in my school, and I think I am going to be proud of my accomplishments in high school. It seems like a class ring would be something I should get.

[JSweeney]

I guess I'm even more messed up. I thought he was talking about Armani Exchange... and I was thinking that 150 dollars for a nice shirt and pants would be pushing it.

[biggestinuyashafan]

it isn't worth it. worst $300 ever spent,cause i don't even wear it. i should have spent that on games since i didn't have a g/f at the time.

[jbroush99]

Nope. I bought one. I lost it.

My friend was at a strip club for a bachelor party and when he woke up in the morning his class ring was gone. His step-brother later told him that he ran out of money and gave his ring to a stripper for a lap dance.

Back on topic, I didn't buy one and don't regret it one bit.

[mongo_mongo]

Lemme guess...you're a nerd who got your ass kicked daily by jocks? Don't be so predictable.

[Lootr2Core]

If I graduated from West Point or the naval Acadamy then I'd consider it, but High school rings are just a waste in my opinion (of course I'm not into jewelry at all, and would discourage anyone from wearing any for safety sake) Josten's jewlers is one of the biggest shams in High School (who's who is another)

[Trakan]

Don't buy it, dood. I thought about getting one too, and then my dad talked me out of it. You're never going to wear it after graduation, it's way too much money, and if you do buy it, you'll end up selling later in your life and losing money. It's not worth it.

[Mafia]

To hell with a class ring. How many people actually wear their high school class ring? Get one when you leave college. Or better yet, there's plenty of good shit linked on this site that you can blow a couple hundred dollars on instead.

[karmapolice]

mongo_mongo...I am not a nerd and I am still in High School...if any jock tried to mess with me...well...they know not too...I am an individual who believes in individualism and not fascism...I dont cling to trends like most people are swayed to do

[epobirs]

If you have any kind of decent life ahead of you high school will soon become a place you only remember when filling out job applications. It's a checkbox in life. Anything really important in high school, like material you can put on a resume, doesn't come with a bill attached.

To me a HS ring just shouts out, "I peaked in my teens!"

[xzafixz]

I think High School will be the shittiest time in my life...dealing with shitty people...having to deal with violence and loud annoying people...I just hate it...I go to high school only so I can get out of it...

I forgot how immature high school kids really are, if you think high school is the worst time of your life, you must be walking yourself into free ownership of a business or something huh?

[Larsin]

don't buy one, high school's a joke...

[xzafixz]

Oh yes and considering the question, to each his own i say. I sure wouldn't listen to the people on this site on weather or not to buy something. I didn't buy one, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't either.

[karmapolice]

I have much more fun working and doing hard labor than dealing with people at school...Id be much more willing to go and make straight A's if I was getting paid...I have a high work ethic for actual work but not school...I cant stand the place or the people...dont look down on me as inferior...You used to be my age...dont be an asshole

[BigHow]

Are you going to college? If so, no. Things only get better, my friend.

What do you mean, yes you are my inferior as i USED to be your age, and you aren't original by saying that school is sooo difficult. Unless you are already living on your own then you don't room to say anything.

[thatstoobad]

I forgot how immature high school kids really are, if you think high school is the worst time of your life, you must be walking yourself into free ownership of a business or something huh?

believe it or not, not every person enjoys their high school years. i, for instance, absolutely hated high school. i won't deny that for many people high school may very well be the best years of their lives, but i would like to contend that people change the statement from "high school is the best years of your life" to "high school has the potential to be the best years of your life".

hating high school doesn't constitute immaturity, it constitutes not liking your classmates. life after high school definitely has the potential to be worse (especially if you equate responsibilities with life sucking), but it also has the potential to be better.

[Lootr2Core]

weather? so if its 70 degrees out he should or if its raining it shouldn't?

"don't listen to people but listen to me?" hey...if ya wanna break my b@lls gotta give back.

[Scrubking]

High School memorabilia is the lamest piece of shit ever created.

If you absolutely want to remember your school then take a picture and hang it on your wall. :puke:

[xzafixz]

I guess I phrased what i said wrongly, what i meant is that high school is a lot easier to deal with then life afterwards, unless of course you have inheritance. Having to pay tuition, rent/house payment, car insurance, gas, etc, plus, if you want to be ANYTHING in the future, doing all of this while going to school full time, is a lot more difficult then sitting around getting pampered in a public high school, working part time.

You'll never regret not getting one. Ever. Trust me.

[dustyeff]

I loved high school. All the classes were so easy and there was plenty of time to simply sit around and chat up the cute girls in study hall. Then again, I may be romanticizing it a bit since I'm in my 3rd year of college, 18 credits, with like four accounting classes :(

I still didn't buy a ring, though. Fuck that.

[Gameboy415]

*Looks at crappy white gold ring sitting on desk that doesn't fit anymore and brings back memories of how much HS licked scrot*

Um, I guess if you REALLY like your school or gawdy jewelry go for it. Otherwise, save the money for college. YOU'LL NEED IT.

[VisibleDucts]

I think High School will be the shittiest time in my life...dealing with shitty people...having to deal with violence and loud annoying people...I just hate it...I go to high school only so I can get out of it...

I forgot how immature high school kids really are, if you think high school is the worst time of your life, you must be walking yourself into free ownership of a business or something huh?

Yes a lot of high school students are immature. Which is exactly why I hated it. I'm not a fan of sitting around a group of annoying, perverted, stupid people. And I'm aware that I'll have to deal with people like that for the rest of my life, but never in a situation when they complain that if they aren't allowed to read the story out loud they wont be able to understand it.

I never bought a ring, nor did I ever even consider it. But if you have the money and you think you want one, then it can't hurt to get one.

[rajchakrabarti]

well as many people say highschool kids are immature and blah blah blah,, but almost everybody you know was a highschool student at some point. Remeber some people treated highschool as a social ground.. some used to prepare for college... that alone provides different experiences... some may have loved it .. .some may of hated it...

but back to the topic

i don't think a ring really does anything but prevent you from buying some games. ( i loved highschool... but i didn't get or want a ring, didn't get a college ring either... my diploma's are good enough for me)

[moe11888]

I dont think I'm getting one, but I do tend to make last second desisions, so its not a 100% thing. If I get one, I'm definently going to get the $70 piece of crap metal ring. And if I breaks, I can always get it fixed with the lifetime warrenty.

[punqsux]

class rings are just a myth. they dont mean anything. you can get them without graduating even...

its all part of a big advertising plan between schools and jewelry makers to get money from you for something you DEFINETLY dont need, Prolly dont wants, and might never wear after graduation.

[JSweeney]

Hell, the only thing I have showing I graduated college is my framed diploma, and I care about my college degree worlds more than I care about graduating from High School.

Put bluntly, you have to be profoundly retarded not to be able to graduate from High School. It's shocking what you can actually manage to get out of school not knowing and still get a diploma

[Trakan]

[Zenithian Legend]

I didn't get one, kinda wish I had though, along with a yearbook or two, but what can I say, I'm cheap

[captainfrizo]

At first I wasn't sure if I wanted a class ring, but I got one anyway and looking back I'm glad I did. It's a symbol of all the fun times I had in high school (I'm guess I'm one of the few that didn't think h.s. was hell).

Going on to college should have no impact on buying a ring or not. Either way you will be out of high school. Going to classes at college or going right into the work force isn't going to have an impact on what the ring will mean to you one way or another.

My advice - If you are enjoying high school and don't mind spending the money, go for it. You'll value the ring a lot more when you're out of school for what it represents. If you think high school is a huge waste of your time then don't bother with a ring since you'll want nothing to do with your school the second you get your diploma.

Bah. I'm much more swayed by the idea of getting a yearbook and getting the yearbook signed. That is more symbolic of the time you spend there. The ring to me is just another garish oversized piece of bric-a-brac.

Actually, it may.
A High School education is going to mean a great deal more to someone who didn't get a batchelor's, master's or some form of doctorate.

My advice - If you are enjoying high school and don't mind spending the money, go for it. You'll value the ring a lot more when you're out of school for what it represents.

I still think a yearbook with inscriptions from friends is even more totemic of the High School experience.

[JSweeney]

That said, I still have all of my awards, trophies, commendations, newspaper articles, ROTC medals and ribbons, NHS stuff, SAT and ACT score sheets, etc.

I think the High School ring, however, is one of the least important pieces of memorablia that one could have.

[Lootr2Core]

I recently found my brothers college ring under my piano.. he never missed it. If you can go for months without missing something you don't need it.

[MeGaWC27]

I never wanted it and found it a waste of money, but my sis told me to get it, for memories. Got it for Junior High, found it to be completely useless. In HS I stuck with no, and am glad I didn't buy it.

[Lancey Howard]

I had one, but my high school ex-girlfriend kept it after the division of all of our stuff. I didn't realize until about two years later after she moved away. Oh well, I got a cheapo ring anyway (in true cheapass fashion)

[epobirs]

The thing to do is get a ring for a high school far away. It can come in handy someday if you need to create a new identity.

[Nirvanaguy777]

no dont, highschool isnt as important as people make it out too be, highschool is the tip of the iceberg, all these highschoolers always brag about what they do after school or weekends or prom, it usually sounds like i went too a party and got wasted with drugs and booze ramble ramble im so cool, note that they do these things every once and awhile and make it out too be a huge deal, in college people do things like that everyday, wow that didnt relate too your topic at all, well in highschool i had fun like everyone else but never made a huge fucking deal out of it like they did, i never got a ring or anything my highschool offered me because it wasnt major and i would never look back and say wow because i knew college would be more of a milestone and it has been so far, I also didnt go too prom and I was offered 2 dates, so in closing highschool is no big deal save the money on the ring and the prom and everthing else, instead take your prom date out too some resturant then bang her in a sleezy motel a better way too use your highschool memorobilia money

[KingDox]

I still think a yearbook with inscriptions from friends is even more totemic of the High School experience.

This I don't think is true, I mean think of all the kids with year books full of love letters from old Girlfriends they now hate, or tons of friends that you lost touch with. Some random person saying

"NEVER CHANGE U R DA BEST KIT x0x0x"

doesn't really mean that much. But I can look at my ring, with my name on it and think about all the fun I had in my teens.

"NEVER CHANGE U R DA BEST KIT x0x0x"

doesn't really mean that much. But I can look at my ring, with my name on it and think about all the fun I had in my teens.

If put up to a vote, I hardly believe that your feelings would be the majority. Of course, memories and such are highly personal things, so if it work for you, go with it.

I didn't get a class ring and I'm very glad I decided not to. Otherwise it would just be sitting in a box or jewelry case right now.
I agree, a yearbook is money much better spent. It's been 12 years since I graduated high school and when I get together with old groups of friends we still take out the yearbooks from time to time and laugh our asses off.

Since everyone else lists what they got in HS. I have my 4 vasrsity letters from track, and the two dozen certificates of me breaking the shot put record. I still have all of the medals and trophys I won at track meets.

I ended up not getting the ring. It was too much, and the cheap $70 one was horrible, so I didnt buy one.

My class ring was over $200 (I just had to go for 14K gold :roll: ). A big waste of money - the last time I wore it was at graduation. It sits in a shoebox now.

Not worth the money. Buy booze instead.

I never wanted a class ring, but I convinced my mom that I kinda did, but maybe I'd just rather get a game here instead, since it would be cheaper... :) Simon the Sorcerer for PC, I believe was the game.
