Pitfalls of early graduation from high school (may be spoilers)

You're probably right about the dropping out message, but it is bad programming (or lazy at best). Could have put in a separate message if it HAS to kick one out, like "____ is finished with High School" instead of leaving players to wonder if something got borked. And yeah, I knew graduation wasn't going to happen if I graduated early (not a bug, and it makes sense); more of an infomercial to other players considering it. But you really should get a diploma in the mail, and I never did (bugged or not I have no idea).
