High School Reunions.......

[brywool]

Man, lots of miserable high school experiences here! Geez.

Not 'miserable'. HS was fun. The reunion was weird and not what I expected.

[Michigan Girl]

Loved high school, love the reunions!!! Course, I keep in touch
with all my old high school and college friends anyway!!! I actually
enjoy going to see the people I don't get to see or hear from all the time!!
When we get back together, we pick up where we
left off....as if time stood still!!! We don't seem to give a crap about who
does what, we prefer the REMEMBER WHEN?!?!? conversations.
Jeez, I love those people!!!!

My 5 year was held at a bar... The girl in charge of it all had a fuck of a time tracking people down from what I hear... She told me that they couldn't find me at all. Oddly enough, I still live in the same town, and my name's in the book.

The 10 year was held at the casino... They sent out invitations, but wanted $125 from everyone attending to help pay for the ballroom they booked. Out of 226? graduating members of class of 1992, only 14-15 showed up I was not one of them.....

I also have no plans to attend the 20 year reunion...


Quite honestly, the people I gave a shit about from high school, I'm still in touch with to this very day either via e-mail or phone or even in person. The people I had no time for in high school, I really couldn't give two shits and a squirt about 5,10 and 20 years later. My school had it's "cliques" just as any other... Preppies, Jocks, Dirtballs, Metalheads, Non-Conformists, Nerds, Shop-Heads, Gear Heads, etc... I tried not to fit into just one group, but tried to get along with all. Each group had it's decent people, as well as the jackasses.

There have been a "few" people from my school that were complete assholes to me that have since done a complete 180. Yes... Some people grow up, but there's still plenty of people I knew in school that are trying desperately to cling to their high school glory and still acting like they're king shit of turd mountain. Oddly enough, they were expected to go far in life, but many are drunks with no job, divorced, etc......

On a side note, I recently ran into a few different girls that weren't really "lookers" in high school, but HOLY HELL are they drop dead gorgeous now... If I only knew then what I know..... nevermind...

High School.............Class of 25 people. Clique divisions regular kids.......I was one, 4 snobs, 3 troublemakers, and 3 misfits.

I keep in touch with my best friend to this day. See quite a few of the regular kids around town all the time. The snobs I would rather eat razor blades than see them again, they are the career comparing, flipped nosed twits they always were. Trouble makers I still see around, they have tamed down alot. Still friends with them. The misfits no one knows where they went. One of them was very whiny.



We have not had a reunion to this day, probably because we all see socially the ones we would still want to see. The others I have no desire to see again. The closest thing I had to a reunion was when my singing group did a concert for our music teacher to help with her cancer treatment costs. We got together rehearsed and performed. That was kind of fun, but of our original group, only two of us showed.

If we have a reunion I would show. But I am with Arkansas, leave the snobbery and comparisons at the door.

I was just thinking. This board FEELS like high school a lot of times. Cliques, fights, friends, enemies, some are popular, less popular, geeks, cool, jocks, musicians, etc. Some fit in, some never will, and some may never grow up!! And when we travel and meet up it feels kind of like a high school reunion

Oh, that's why I still hang out here! I don't wanna grow up!!

We've had three... 10th, 20th and 25th. Out of a class close to 400 in size, about 3/4th's of us show up. They are all three day weekend adventures with everyone chipping in on planning, extras and any fees associated. Better than 90% of us went from 1st grade through graduation together, and while there may have been "divisions," they all seemed to overlap. lol We were and are an odd group to this day. Any event in someone's life that is considered major (wedding, child birth, death, etc.) we all know about within 2 days.

One thing remains constant at these reunions.... Friday night Homecoming Football game is attended en masse. And every single year, we still get pissed off when the announcer refers to us as "old timers." Sheesh!

Sad to hear so many either have no interest in attending or had such an awful time of high school that the reunion just doesn't appeal to them. Our HS years were a blast and our reunions keep along those paths.

... and the clique-less remain so, even here. Maybe that's my problem!

[tammy]

High school was "ugh", so no desire to go to reunions...I was invisible & graduated early just to get away...I was either smoking pot or writing depressing poetry in the library. There were many cliques & the snobby ones I couldn't stand...there was one chick that was just pyscho meanbitch to a lot of people/teachers, she was in that 'popular' grp. I remember once she was in my English class a few seats in front of me & she did something immature to me & I called her a bitch (of course, I was shaking, but she pissed me off)...she didn't hear me so her buddy (who used to be my friend in jr. high!) told her what I said and she comes stomping back up to me and said, "what did you say? - did you call me a bitch?" I said, YEAH! She didn't bother me again. And, I never spoke to that other girl again. Hated H.S.

I LOVED High School. I just never had any desire to go to the reunions for some reason. Our 25th is this year.....maybe I'll change my mind.

[Peartree12249]

I thought this would be a nice change of pace from the current fare on the board.....

I've never been to any of mine. I wonder what they are like. Are they really just a competition to see who's done what, and a chance to bang that person you always wanted to....

Do many people actually attend? And who has some crazy stories they'd like to share....

OR

You can just tell me to get bent...there's always that option....

I would rather stick a needle in my eye than go to my high school reunion. I can't think of one good memory.

Oh wait I do remember having a sleep-over at my friend Holly's house, drank my first beer and listened to her brand new Iron Butterfly album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. That was fun. The rest pretty much sucked.

[SherriBerry]

I didn't go to my 10 year reunion, but I am considering going to my 20 year reunion next year. We had a pretty good group of people in my grad class and many of us have known each other since elementary school, but I don't have any close friends from my year. My best friend was a year ahead of me (we're still best friends after 25 years) and thanks to Facebook and the fact that I'm back in my small hometown right now, I already know what most people have been up to, but it might be nice to say hello and swap funny memories of school.

From those who went to their reunions, I got the impression that 10 years was not removed enough from highschool, but after 20 years it was no longer about trying to impress others and more about remembering the good old days and fond memories. Just about everyone from my class still has friends or family who live here (a few live here themselves), so no one can get away with a phony facade. It really doesn't feel like almost 20 years have gone by! After talking about reunions, I feel like watching 'Gross Point Blank', my favourite movie on the subject

I don't go to any of mine either. I'm too afraid someone I knew back then and who I've lost touch with long ago will now be fucked up on drugs, crime or other illigal activities will want to hang out with me and want to come over to my house or something. Or what if someone's turned into a murderer that has yet been caught and now meeting back up with them at the reunion, they decide they want to make me their next victim. I guess the reason I think this way is cause I've seen adults who are so fucked up and I imagine that they were probably once really great kids when they were younger. So the kids my age who I thought were really great, may have also turned into the type of fucked up adults I've seen around.

I bet women are more prone to think this way also about high school reunions then men are. Because I never ever hear my wife or all of her girlfriends saying: "oh, my high school reunion is coming up and I'm so excited to go."

I've got only about ten close friends I've known from that time in my life. If God wanted me to know any more of them, I'd a never lost touch with the others.

"It's better to have a very select few friends you can trust then a shit-load of so called friends you can't." That's my outlook on it.

Yeah, that's an interesting and very true concept. Seems to me the people I knew who ended up making the most money are the one's who are the fattest and have the most health problems now. I guess they ate way too much steak, but hell, they could afford it for breakfast every day and every night.

And most of them look 20 years older than me, and dont have one hair on there fuckin head, and have a bunch of stupid shitty ass kids that look and act stupid just like them

[7 Wishes]

Seeing as I was the scrawny new kid who received all the nuclear wedgies, got hung up repeatedly by my underwear in the boys' locker room, and had his house routinely toilet papered, I was pleasantly surprised by the modicum of respect afforded to me by the formerly perpetrating vulgarians at the reunion. I've gained about 50 pounds since then, still have all my hair, and at least look somewhat recognizable. Knowing that they knew that I could kick their pathetic larded asses all over the place was, admittedly, quite satisfying, as was the sudden attention paid to me by former cheerleaders who married the quarterbacks and shortstops, most of whom now look like Meat Loaf or Steve Howe.

I have no doubt that you were one of the favourite topics of discussion among the women there. It must be a pretty nice feeling. You didn't mention if it was your 10th or 20th reunion - looking good at 18 is often just a fluke of youth and nature, but to look good 20 years later is the result of a positive attitude and hard work!
