Over the weekend, Alana graduated from high school. Congratulations!!<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon poses with her sister, Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson at the latter\u2019s high school graduation in May 2023. Woohoo! (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn Saturday, May 20, Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson graduated from Wilkinson County High School.<\/p>\n
Mama June Shannon and Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon attended the ceremony in McIntyre, Georgia.<\/p>\n
Alana and her classmates wore yellow caps and gowns while receiving their high school diplomas.<\/p>\nAlana Thompson\u2019s proud mother shared a distant video of her 17-year-old daughter\u2019s graduation ceremony in May of 2023. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nJune shared some shaky video and a celebratory caption.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud of her she is our 2023 graduate and yes we [were] hollering the whole time,\u201d she announced. It seems that she is saying that this was one of those families that does not abide by requests for people to hold their applause. Unfortunate.<\/p>\n
\u201cAND YALL KNOW I SCREAMED WORK IT SMOOCHIE ONE LAST TIME,\u201d June then wrote. That, of course, is a longtime catchphrase.<\/p>\nIn this celebratory caption, Mama June Shannon cheered on her youngest daughter for her high school graduation. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLauryn also shared what she described, in her own words, as \u201cThe raw unedited version of Alana graduating.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, she became emotional, writing: \u201cTo say I\u2019m proud would be an understatement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauryn expressed: \u201cTo be there a witness this next chapter I\u2019m amazed.\u201d<\/p>\nAlana Thompson\u2019s older sister, who acted as her legal guardian for most of her teens, congratulated her 17-year-old sister on graduating high school. She recorded her sister\u2019s special moment on stage. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cAmazed at how much you\u2019ve grown,\u201d Lauryn gushed. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow beautiful your soul is,,\u201d she listed.<\/p>\n
Lauryn went on by writing: \u201c& most importantly how far you\u2019ve come against all odds.\u201d<\/p>\nSo proud! Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon poses with 17-year-old Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson. Alana is now a high school graduate! (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cTo hear your name be called & to watch you walk,\u201d Lauryn marveled. \u201cI\u2019m honored truly.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then excitedly expressed: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see what this next chapter in your life holds.\u201d We can\u2019t, either!<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease always know I\u2019m your biggest fan & always & forever gonna be screaming the loudest for you,\u201d Lauryn concluded. \u201cI love you Lana.\u201d<\/p>\nMama June: Family Crisis star Alana \u201cHoney Boo Boo\u201d Thompson got all glammed up for prom in April 2023. (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhen Lauryn says that her baby sister overcame the odds, she is not kidding.<\/p>\n
Many of us may think of them as a reality TV family, but they weren\u2019t born into this. Many members of the family only rose to fame later on, and some still struggle financially.<\/p>\n
Lauryn became a teen mom. June became a mom in her very early teens. And this is, lest we forget, a family that would sometimes scavenge roadkill<\/em> for food before they were household names.<\/p>\nAlana Thompson no longer goes by Honey Boo Boo. She has come an extremely long way. (TikTok)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThis is a big deal.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t know what path Alana will end up taking, but we\u2019re excited to see where she goes next.<\/p>\n
Also, she\u2019s going to be 18 late this summer. Anyone else feeling old, yet?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
