Do You Attend Your High SchooReunions

I would love to attend however, I am residing in another country now so it's pretty difficult for me to visit my home town or school. I would love to see my former school or class mates. Three years ago I saw one of the popular girls at my school and we just talked for a while and it was really nice to see her. Hmmm I wonder whats happening to all those goofballs :).

No, I've never attended any of my high school reunions. I graduated in 1965. I'd like to see what the others look like now and what they've been doing but I don't have any close friends that I really want to see. I'm like you. I didn't have much growing up either. We had a large family and lived on a farm so we didn't have much money. I don't really care about going to them.

I would hate to go to a school reunion, I like the learning part at school but didn't like a lot of the people part.

I have attended one of my class reunions, I enjoyed it. It was good seeing my old classmates, some looked okay, and some looked really old. Actually another one is planned for this October, I would love to go, I am receiving all of the correspondence and actually they have me on the reunion committee. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. At this time I can not afford the price of the ticket. I am sure it is going to be really nice. I saw the list of attendees, and there were some people, I would really like to connect with again. Oh, well, maybe the next time I will be in a better position and will be able to attend.

NO! i do not want to spend time with so many old people ! LOL i'm 60 and i figure if we aren't friends by now, we never will be. i have a wonderful fantasy where i do attend, and everyone apologizes to me. it won't change my life at this stage. i had to learn to forgive and forget them. and, i think it made me a stronger, better person, and mother, too. do you think it would enhance the quality of your life if you had faced the cruel ones? you became the great person that you are IN SPITE of what they said ! that's the victory.

I understand want you're talking about. I didn't have the disadvantages that you had, but I had a poor self image when I was in high school. Because I was overly sensitive, I thought other were making fun of me (they probably weren't). However, I did see very deliberate cruelty directed towards others which gave me a very low opinion of many in my class. Although there were some really nice people in my class, for the most part I didn't like my classmates, have not stayed in contact with any of them, and have never gone to any of my high school reunions.

I haven't got to attend one yet . They had one this summer but nobody knew about it and apparently only four people showed up because whoever set it up didn't do a very good job at letting the rest of us know . There is some talk about having one next year but I am not sure that I will bother attending it . I didn't get along with those in my class for the simple fact I was so shy back then and because I stayed in the area and most of them moved away , they seem to have the attitude that somehow they are better then those that stuck around . I don't feel that I have to prove anything to any of them then and I don't feel I have anything to prove to any of them now . So I probably wouldn't attend one if they had one .

as much as possible yes. I am always excited attending reunions. the reason I want to attend is not the school, but because of the people I want to see, and I want to be with. and they are my classmates, and my friends.

We don't because we quit high school in about the 11th grade.. We went back and graduated in 1991, my avatar is our prom picture.. We were very poor growing up (the same as you were) and I also didn't have a lot of friends, but that was mainly because I didn't want a bunch of friends.. I have been more of a loner all of my life, I make friends easily and have quite a few friends, but I do not want a close friend.. I wasn't made fun of and believe that I would have fought anyone who made fun of me, I think that kids can be so cruel.. We are now friends with about 10 of the people that we went to high school with but we still never go to the high school reunions.. We do however go to Shoney's Restaurant on the first Tuesday of the month where quite a few of our school's alumni meets for breakfast.. Have a great day..

I love to go to a high school reunion but nobody in our batch scheduled it yet. But if that happen i will surely go.

Oh your high school days seemed to have given you a lot of bitter memories. How cruel could they be to you. I don't blame you for shunning class reunions. But on the other hand, maybe you should try one time to attend and see how those people look today... maybe you are in better condition now than most of them and that will make you feel blessed after all. I love attending high school reunions. My high school reunion after ten years of our graduation brought me a wonderful thing. It was there where I met again my hubby and that was where our love story starts. He had a crush on me when we were in high school but after graduation we never saw each other again. The high school reunion gave us a chance to see each other again and from then on he started pursuing me and after a year we got married. We are now married for 23 years and happily at that. It all started with a high school reunion and we both are thankful we attended that.

No, i don't want to attend a highschool reunion unless, if its only my highschool "friends" reunion...only one section and where my friends are...

Hi Chevee, I went to my 10 year reunion. It turned out to be a blast. It was funny to see the so called popular girls still gathered together at one table and not mingling with others. The popular guys on the other hand were mingling with everyone, including those of us who were never popular. You see a whole different set of people. Of course, some things never change. The thing is, have you changed and if so, is it for the better? It's fun to see if most people change for the better. I think men and women alike want to go to reunions only if they can show how successful they've become. Or how much better they look. To me, success is measured by growth psychologically not physically. Hopefully you will find that many or most of those shallow high schoolers have grown to realize what a good person you are, not how much money you have. And if not, maybe you've grown enough not to care what they think. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have a good time. xoxoxo leenie

Hi Chevee, Once I left school that was it I have never had a school reunion party to got to because no one ever done and since leaving school I have never met up with any of the school mates except two friends they are sister and we were very close and I made friends with one of there friend then I lost touch with her then my two friends got married and moved away I haven't seem the for years but the one friend that I lost touch with I met her again and now we are very close but never gone to any school unions.

These weren't held at school i mean the schools reunion stuffs we ourselves made a get together and met very few of our friends and it was really good but we got fed because most of our friends dint turn up but anyways now a days it not happening and nobody has spoke to rearrange the meeting again.. I was not a good studying student when i was at school that made me to feel a lot and even many are doing professional courses but i wasnt able to join one of my friend was teasing me for it before others rest of the friends said it is my wish.. and they just supported

I didn't like being around half of those bast@rds when I had to be around them. I am surely not going to drive 8 hours now to see them. There are a few that I try to see whenever I can, and I have a few of my classmates on instant messengers and emails, and we communicate that way, but I would much rather us get together at someone's house and have a cook-out or something with just a few of us than to try to get the entire class together.

just like you i live in the same town where i went for high school and not once did i attend out school or batch reunions. which reminded me that we have one this month and it is our class who would be one of the preparing body. i didn't have bad experience from my classmates then its just that reunions never appealed with me. wat comes into my mind is this would be the venue where old classmate will try to brag what they have achieve. my bad!!! LOL

Well actually,I am excited to our coming highschool reunion because it was almost 10 years now and I am excited and I hope I will see my old friends and classmates and talk lots of things about our new life now.:-0 GOd bless and have a nice day.:-0

I attended my 10 year class reunion and was on the planning committee which I won't do again. I signed up as a member on my high school website and these people are just like they were in high school. Nothing has changed. Some of my class mates are signed up on there and act like they are so much better than me. The won't leave my any comments. I am trying to figure out how to delete myself off of there. They are all bragging about what they have and what they are going to do. I am divorced and my only child is a single mother with a 3 year old daughter. About 3 of my classmates acknowledged my existence but not any of the others. They are planning a 35 year reunion. I will not be attending. I left them all behind years ago. At the 10 year reunion I was divorced then and didn't have a date with me and they made me feel so ugly and low just like I felt in high school. Anyway, I won't be attending.

Isnt it kind of awkward seeing people from your highschool graduation? Especially people that you had problems with or people that did horrible things to you or you did the same to them. I think it will be kinda weird go there and having a grown up talk about things. Dont you think so. I really do. I probably wouldnt go because its not like i would care of what people have done with their life.
