Would you or have you ever attended your High School Reunion?

[melanie2]

I personally have no interest in going to any of mine..my 35th is this coming summer...i find it well..hmm i don't see any need to attend..i might on my 50th...

Anyone else?

 

[gilmourwaters]

i graduated in 81...never went to any reunions..never will...no need too! Any people i wanted to keep in touch with i have , so for those i havent spoken to in 25+ years i really dont have anything to say too now...it's not that im being mean but too much time has past..they're complete strangers now...lol

 

[N/A]

Made it to my 25th (decades ago). I was the only one wearing a tie. Met one of my oldest buddies and was surprised to find him the current Principal of the high school.

 

[juggernaut]

Went to my 5, they skipped 10, went to 15. 20th is in 2010 and I'm sure I'll go if able. It's just to show that I still have my hair.

 

[meteor]

Well yes i went a few years back, quite a few surprises, people who i thought would do well didn't and the other way round,girls i liked then wern't so nice and the ugly ones are now well tasty.i got roped in to this by a friend of a friend.we went to the actual school for the meeting,my early years were spoilt by tragedy with the death of my wife and a near fatal motor cycle with me out of action for a long period, never to be the same after,and i never gave this a thought until i parked out side and went in,the forth person i met was my wife's best friend, and it all came flooding back.so if your an older person remember you can't wind the clock back,things arn't the same, its best just to meet one or two old pals than attend a meeting, of well in our case over one hundred people,and ok you youngsters it was a hundred years ago.

 

[Sadistictickler]

Nope, I might do so whenever I finished my studies.

 

[NMKamikaze1]

Hell no... I would never spend another second around those fake-ass haters. I wish they would all drop dead... Real talk.

 

[chicag0]

I spent too much time trying to please too many people that didn't matter in high school. I didn't realize that most of the girls would end up pregnant in a few years, and the guys drug dealers or something until I was a senior. By then, I didn't give a shit and only had one good friend.

I probably won't go unless I need a good laugh about how fat the cheerleaders got.

 

[Sorcerer Lance]

I'm extremely hesitant going to any reunions, after graduating, I was glad to be away from nearly every single one of my peers...Maybe once I hit the big time, I'll have something to rub in their faces.

 

[Zaq!]

Haven't made it to one of those reunions yet... but at least I have the excuse of being out of state for most of them.

Mostly though, I have been pretty apathetic about them, overall. I didn't leave anything in high school that I needed to go back for, and I ended up leaving the city I graduated from fairly quickly, so that was enough of a reason for me to not return.

In spite of that, I joined Classmates a year or so ago... so you never know what you will value until you get there.

There are always some folks that you wonder how they turned out...

 

[Cbarton]

Went to the 5th and 10th year. All the others were scheduled when I couldn't make it back up. 2011 will be the 30th...wow...am I that old already???

 

[Camel26]

Went to my 5 year...my 10 year will be next fall...

We shall see if I go...it was rather annoying being the token dyke and having people only come up to talk to me, who never spoke to me or only made fun of me in high school, because they wanted to see if it was true and the beautiful woman on my arm was my fiance...

That crap gets old. Some people change, some don't...some get fat, some get bald, some are just insane...

I'd go just to see how, or if, anyone changed from 5 years ago...and, hopefully, one of us will be pregnant, so I'd get to let a few old friends know...which would be nice...

Meh...I guess I will make up my mind when I get the invite...

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

the hollywood brother has not gone to any of his high school reunions as of it. there is a hollywood brother curiosity that the hollywood brother to see how everyone turned out but the hollywood brother do not need to see how many people are richer and or happier than the hollywood brother. also the hollywood brother do not need to pay money to go to a reunion to hear how all the ticklish ladies that the hollywood brother enver tickled are married, have pets and get tickled by everyone every night except for the legendary hollywood brother

 

[kopfhorer1]

What the Hollywood Brother said! I've had almost no contact with my high school classmates, and the few I have had have been supremely awkward. Lets face it, for a lot of folks, including me, high school sucked like a bucket of Wall Street bankers! I'm one of those who feels that if that part of my life was part of a movie, I'd have left it on the cutting-room floor.

 

[Amnesiac1]

I was one of the very eccentric kids in high school that was a cross between abuse bag and one-man avant-garde improv theater troupe. I hated everyone in that place so much that when the Jonesboro killings happened my senior year, everybody started giving me a wide berth for fear that I was going to be next. I vowed never to set foot in that school again and to never go to my reunions.

Well, a lot happened in those 10 years.

My college degree got me nada, the economy stranded me here, I lost touch with my friends (who were now 1500 miles away), and then my aunt AND my mom died within 4 months of each other. After that, my mentality changed and I needed some closure. My sister recommended I go to my 10 year and so I did, going home for the first time in 8 years.

Surprisingly, I had a MARVELOUS time. Everybody looked almost exactly the same only with an extra chin here and there, and we all fell into our old rhythms right away, but this time, without the too-cool-for-school attitude; most of the malice was gone and I found out that most of the people I hated actually liked me, although it took a few years to appreciate that I was one of the few authentic people they had known. I reconnected with people I actually missed and ALMOST got laid, but I didn't on account of how I strangely wasn't in the mood to play my cards that strong.

So I needed that trip to put most of the past behind me; they say you can't go home again and that's true because it isn't the same as when you left it. After years of pining away in homesickness, I can't imagine going back: I prefer where I am now.

A funny note: My return was very much like it was in Grosse Pointe Blank, much to my delight...I had completely dropped off the face of the earth and people were astonished that I came. When the daughter of the school counselor called her father and told him I was there, he actually said "And he wasn't wearing a trenchcoat?!" Me and two other friends called another friend who wasn't there and, upon hearing that I was there asked:
"Is he wired?"
"What? Wired, you mean like on drugs?"
"With dynamite."

So I had a positive experience, but keep in mind I had unresolved issues to settle. It might not be the same with others.

 

[Timewarp]

Would I ever go to a reunion?
Oh yeah because 12 years of ostrocise, loneliness and public humiliation is something that should always be reawakened like a wound being reopen by a combat knife....on fire...covered in acid...stabbed by Stephen King....and filmed poorly.

 

[PurpleStyle]

I skipped my 5th, and resisted the urge to call in a bomb threat. I might not be able to resist for 10, just for shits and giggles. :stickout

Dude, I like the way you talk. You're like the tickling version of Mr. T. Keep at it.

yikes what an image..didn't you ever see Peggy Sue Got Married? where the guy you describe came to his highschool reunion as a total success in his life?

my 35th will be this summer but i'm not going..i might go to my 50th lol

 

[HotCat1230]

A lot has happened to me since I left High School in 2003. I believe my 10 year reunion is in 2013. I am so looking forward to seeing my old friends again so, I am definatly going to my reunion. I mean how bad could it be.

 

[QueenBeeBeeMari]

No,and I'm not so sure I would.I was always the outcast,always the one everybody wanted to pick on.So,I don't know that I would.

 

[desdemona]

My 20th reunion is this year. I haven't even heard if we're having one or not. I didn't go to my 5 or 10 year. I keep in touch with a select few friends from HS. Now that I am my own boss, I might go back to see how some others fared. But I have no burning desire to see the almost 700 people who neither knew me nor I them. The only thing HS was for me was a way to accomplish my goal of going to the undergrad of my choice and not paying a dime other than room and board. I got a great education and it helped me with my dream of becoming a veterinarian. For that, I'm grateful.

Anyone else?

im with ya on this one, but i wouldnt even bother with a 50th. theres only one person im still in touch with from high school days (technicly even before high school days). and we've been close friends for near 30 years. anyone else from then, could care less.

 

[Duke Diablo]

I actually would and will go. As a class, we were on pretty much good terms, and about 7 of them (out of 30) are with me in college. We schedule up meetings about once a year, catch up on some old times, and such.

And this is coming from a guy who mostly talked to them with: "Blow me, idiots!"

 

[jk666uk]

yeah i would like to go , i think it would be fun
