I have more friends that are older than me so i dont like that either.. i like high school though. but not the homework.

*PinkLady* · 04-01-2003, 06:38 PM

I don't like many of the kids in my class, but I would like to come back to the reunions looking good with a great job, husband and kids, see my former classmates looking fat and ugly and having dead end jobs, and tell them to kiss my ass.

I think in 2016, I'll try to sneak into the class of 2006's 10 year reunion...I'm friends with several people in that class, and my "boyfriend" is part of it also.

My mom tells me that's why I should go. To see how fat the girls are.

We had a HS 10 yr reunion a few years ago and I didn't go mainly for some of the reasons Mossopp stated. Most of my former classmates are married with kids and houses and I'm still single, childless, living alone in a small condo, not having found the right person to share my life with. There are only a few kids that I would want to see anyway and having a graduating class with over 600 kids, chances are the people I want to see probably wouldn't have been there anyway.
For all you guys who had friends in other grades, it's too bad that they don't have their reunions like they do at my moms old high school. She graduated inn 1952 and her reunion included all classes from 1948-1955 so she got to see just about everyone(The ones that were still alive

) The classes then were a lot smaller though. There were only like 42 kids in her graduating class.

I was mostly friends with the kids in the class below me, but I still see them every now and then, so it doesn't really matter. I'll go to my reunions I think - I was in the same school district for twelve years, and although a lot of us grew apart, I want to know what happened to the kids I was in kindergarten with. I just ran into a girl I'd known since fourth grade downtown today, and we were never really friends, but friendly. Fun to talk and see what she's up to. My highschool does a five year reunion, so I should have my first one coming up in two years. (YAY!!! CLASS OF 2000!) See how that goes. I didn't have the best time in highschool (like many people here I see) but it wasn't awful. Who knows? Maybe by my 10 year reunion I'll be able to show up in a limo with my millionare hubby.

Even though I'm still in high school I can't wait for the reunions. I like most of the people in my grade and I have some friends who are seniors this year and I might never see them again after they graduate so hell, I'll find a way to get into their reunion.

Chocoholic · 04-03-2003, 07:12 PM

I don't plan on ever attending high school reunions. I hated most of the people in my grade.

JDS84 · 04-04-2003, 07:52 PM

I don't want to go to any of my high school reunions. Most of the people I graduated with were stuck up. Now there are some people that I miss like my friends. Then there are some people who I don't care if I ever see them again or not.

webuster · 04-06-2003, 05:17 PM

Well- i don't see why they'd ever have a reunion with classes years younger- unless they had like a 'Graduating Classes 2002-2004' to group in more, meaning there isn't a reunion each year.Anyway- if any school I ever go to turns out to have reunions, I've already began making forged documents and driving licenses for my false story- any ideas anyone?

That sounds like my mom. She graduated in '66 and she didn't care much for high school. She said that it was just a small part of her life & that she moved on from there & didn't want to go back. And she also said something like, "screw those a-holes!" lol.

A little background: I graduated from a High School in Philadelphia over 30 years ago. The school was predominantly Black, and economically speaking, most of us came from families that were lower middle class, or in some cases, poor. There were about 750 people in the graduating class. We have a class reunion every 5 years, and I've been to all but one. I telling you these facts so that you have an idea regarding our "starting point". Now, fast forward 30 years later:

We have some people that went on to be tremendously successful. One guy is now a very successful tax attorney, and has come to the last couple of reunions in a Rolls-Royce (this is not a "show" on his part - I've seen articles about him in the newspaper every now and then). Another woman rose through the ranks of the Federal Government, and became the head of a federal agency. At the last reunion, people were talking about how they saw her being interviewed on the "Today" show, and saw her on the evening news meeting with Bill Clinton (she was not at the reunion). Still another woman from my class now works as a costume designer on Broadway.

There have also been classmates who went in the opposite direction. I know of a few who, unfortunately, have died as a result of drug and/or alcohol abuse. Another person from my class spends his days roaming the streets of Philadelphia, living in abandoned buildings and eating out of dumpsters (I know this because I talk to the guy's brother from time to time). Once again, drugs are to blame. Still others are, unfortunately, now deceased due to medical problems or accidents.

Most of us fall somewhere between the two extremes. We've managed to find our way into decent jobs, are in good health, and reasonably happy with the way things have gone for us since high school. The cheerleaders have put on some weight, and most of the jocks have a beer gut and no hair.

You may not believe this now, but I suspect for those of you who are still in school, or only recently graduated, you will have a similar experience as the years go by. The people in my graduating class all started out from pretty much the same circumstances (economically and educationally). It's pretty amazing to see the vast differences in the way people's lives have played out over the years.

There seems to be no "common denominator" among those who were successful, or those whose lives took a tragic turn. Each person made their own choices along the way, and reaped the benefits of those choices, or lived with the consequences (or in some cases, died).
