I’m 18 years old and graduated high school. I plan to go to college, but I’m curious what you need to graduate cum laude because I heard someone (clearly older than me) say they graduated cum laude.

It says 3.5-3.7. I graduated cum laude with 3.65 GPA.

That's graduating cum laude in course. To graduate cum laude in thesis, you'd need to complete an honors project, typically during your last year, write and submit an honors thesis to your university's honors committee, and defend your thesis, where you present and answer questions about it.

My daughter graduated from high school with 3.4 GPA. She’s your age :)

I’m very proud of all of you. Like another comment says though, my daughter was more happy hanging with her friends than thinking about how to get a 4.0 GPA.
