Have you ever exprienced attending your high school reunion? why do people go there? Is it because thay want to see old friends? or maybe, they out to see people who made fun of them and called them loosers during their teen age years...which means to say that they are there for vengeance and to prove that they are not loosers anyway. Or maybe, people go there to show off what they are now. Talk about I have done this and that, I have this, I've been there, o yeah? What do you think?

I just attended my high school batch's reunion last Dec. 2005. It was fun. It was meant so that we could see old friends again and get to talk to them longer and see what's up with them now. It's not actually a showing off thing of what they are now, it actually helped me too, because through the reunion, I found out that one of my batchmates is now a pediatrician (who I can run to for my kids' health), a banker (who I can deposit through), etc. You can use reunions to your advantage :)

I will be having my 10th year high school reunion this year and Im excited.I get to see the people who i mostly grew up with.High school for me was one of the best years of my life.Yes, there were bullies and risk-takers but its all part of high school.If there is an area in our life when we felt much insecurity, its high school.Nobody was perfect as it is today.

I have attended a lot of reunions.. Starting from school reunions to college reunions. Its not just about showing off or something else.. You get to know about your friends.. your close ones in school and college after you loose contact with them..

Hey, that's a topic I could instantly relate to and felt like contributing to the discussion at once! I have some great memories of my high school years! It's been four years since I passed out from high school and we had a reunion two years back. Two years is not a very long period, and not much had changed then except for the fact that we all had different stories about different people that we had come across, and our different experiences! I'm looking forward to a reunion in the near future. Though we all are pretty aware of each others' whereabouts, thanks to orkut and other communities, it would be really nice meet everyone in person! But the one thought that really excites me, is the thought of a reunion 10-12 years down the line when we'll all have kids and would most probably be at the pinnacle of our careers living a happy life with our respective families! :)

first of all i was bullied a lot in high school and so was not really looking forward to my reunion in any way whatsoever.whats more i actually hated going there.buthten when i walked in and i saw those bullies from my high school i started to laugh,couldnt help myself.ever since then i have been attending all reunions.reunions are fun as long as you do not allow the fear to get you! http://www.reunion.com/main.do;jsessionid=C153990CC0D625BAD5810803363E40A1 http://www.reunionannouncements.com/

yes u r right, but i could not attend the school union, though i wanted to....its like a show off thing i guess, many of us want to show how they are successful, and achieved what they wanted to... and to see what others doing and what they hv achieved. STILL CHILDISHNESS HMM?

people attending high school reunions as you have pointed out come in mix intentions of all sorts. Is is up to you what is your intention. But the most evident intention is "bragging time" when your batchmate arrive you get to see who is the most successful one,and as far as my own experienced is concern the more successful once are likely to be the bragger, (can't blame them though) but they forgetting the very essence of reunion, so my friends organize two high school reunions most of the time, the general reunion wherein every batchmate or classmate is invited and the more solemn one where the closes of friends within the batch are the once only invited.

i have never been to a high school reunion. i guess its gonna be 5 years this may, but i wont go even if there is a reunion. i really have no desire to see anyone from high school because they were all fake. i feel like anyone who really mattered is still friends with me today. otherwise, i dont really need to go back to find out how anyone else's life is going.

We had our first high school reunion about 3 years ago, which I was unable to attend because my husband and I were making rounds on our relatives. It would have been fun catching up with my friends, though. These are the kinds occasions when we should all go and attend, to reminisce about old times and continue friendships.
