Would you/Will you go to your High School Reunion?

Post Reply New Topic

I just graduated high school this year, so it's a long time until a reunion would be happening. But everybody at that high school either hated or ignored me, and all my memories there are unpleasant (to say the least). I doubt I'm going back for a reunion, I didn't even attend graduation.

Do people really still bother with reunions now that we have facebook?

Most of the people I always had the same classes with are still live where I live and I'd bump into them every now and then. We still don't say hi to each other and we still don't talk to each other, so I don't know how productive going to a high school reunion would be. There are a few people who I'd want to see again, but I think I'd be disappointed if they're no longer the same person they were in high school.

Yes, I'd turn up, in 10 years time, driving my Bentley, so they can see how much I've achieved, despite what they think now.

No way in Hell, people were so mean to me and the teachers could care less. I am so hurt that did not help me when they had the power to really make a difference in my life. Ok there were a few people that cared but they were not in a position to help.

I would never want to see those people ever again.

i am very divided on attending my upcoming 10 year reunion. a part of me wants to see some people, the other part knows that i dont care to see any of them at all. i didnt really matter to the majority of the class as i was one of those band nerds (in the drumline) and im sure my presence wont be sorely missed by most of them either. plus with facebook, i wont be surprised if all the preps and jocks suddenly want to be "friends" with me, i'll have to selectively choose who i can or cant stand. lol.

Honestly, I really wanted to go. I couldn't, though, because I had a tutorial and then a student association meeting on that day. There's a problem because the reading week time is not the same in all universities, so they can't do the reunion thing on an optimal day for everyone. And they won't do it during the summer because the teachers want to hear how their former students are doing in college/university/whatever they chose to do.

As for the self-esteem/social issue of meeting all of my former classmates, I would have no problem. My priority would be talking to the teachers, not to the students. Most of them didn't know me, anyway. I was rather socially invisible in high school. Mind you, last year I didn't go to the social because I had a huge meltdown before and it was difficult to keep that happy-go-lucky image that I try my best to project during the awards ceremony alone. I stayed an extra year in school.

I graduated this year, and I greatly miss my high school classmates. Fortunately, we have a yearbook pickup in about a month, which also kind of acts as a reunion, and I can't wait for that.
