Honey Boo Boo all grown up as she graduates from high school - leaving Mama June 'proud'

Honey Boo Boo is all grown up! With the Toddlers and Tiaras star graduating from high school and leaving Mama June "so proud".

17 year old Honey, real name Alana Thompson, recently stepped out looking extremely glamorous for her high school prom, and now she has officially graduated.

Known for looking much younger from her Toddlers and Tiaras days, before starring in her own show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, the TLC star has now left and graduated from Wilkinson County High School in McIntyre, Georgia.

On Saturday (May 20), Honey Boo Boo attended her graduation ceremony, with her mum June Shannon and sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon in the audience supporting the youngster.

Sharing snaps across all of their social media platforms, Alana could be seen beaming in a yellow cap and gown receiving her high school diploma.

Taking to social media, Mama June gushed over her daughter's achievement when she penned: "I'm so proud of her she is our 2023 graduate and yes we was hollering the whole time WTG LANA.

"AND YALL KNOW I SCREAMED WORK IT SMOOCHIE ONE LAST TIME."

While Honey Boo Boo's sister penned an emotional post which read: "To say I'm proud would be an understatement. To be there a witness this next chapter I'm amazed.

"Amazed at how much you've grown, how beautiful your soul is, & most importantly how far you've come against all odds.

"To hear your name be called and to watch you walk I'm honoured truly."

She then concluded the touching post with: "I cant wait to see what this next chapter in your life holds. Please always know I'm your biggest fan and always and forever gonna be screaming the loudest for you. I love you Lana."

This comes just a couple of weeks after Alana donned a glitzy pink floor-length frock and was helped into a horse-drawn carriage by her beau as they attended her prom.

Alana attended her prom bash with her slightly older boyfriend - Dralin Carswell, 21 - whom she posed beside for a sting of snaps ahead of attending the event.
