High School Reunions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

swedeace · 08-18-2005, 08:13 PM

Anyone who have had a high school reunion and/or have an upcoming high school reunion feeling apprehensive over it?

I am! My ten-year high school reunion is approaching next year, and this year is not over yet! I am feeling anxious and feel some form of a light anxiety attack surfacing. This is scaring me! Today I got an email from one of my classmates from the Classmates.com website already wanting to organize this. Yikes!

I know this sounds sooooo Romy and Michelle-esque, but there are some things I have not accomplished yet in my life! *bites nails and pulls hair out* I know everyone ALWAYS says that, but that doesn't help these nervous feelings go away, you know.

Anyway, how did you deal/are you dealing with your high school reunions?

I think the whole concept of high school reunions is silly. Why should you care what others think of you? Especially if you haven't seen them in years.

Our 10th was supposed to be this year, I dont see it happening. We didnt get along as a class in school, why would we 10 years later?

It was supposed to be over July 4th, but I never heard anything esle about it.

I also agree with Brian.

hmmmm, I know that I didn't go to mine, didn't even think about it in fact, I believe I was living somewhere far away at the time...

i honestly dont know what I would have gained by going to a reunion - the only thing i was famous for in highschool was never showing up (but still acing all the exams and passing anyways)

i think I still hold a record for 198 unexplained absences in the eleventh grade (i really dont know how they came up with that number)

IIIIIIIIII only plan on going if I'm married and have a wonderful job. I'd like to see how some people turned out.

swedeace · 08-18-2005, 08:23 PM

You're right, Brian Damage. I think my apprehension hails from the fact that high school always intimidated me. I was always the "quiet one." I figure that if I never showed up, no one would really even care or remember me anyway. So, why should I bother showing up? I dunno. I guess to try and talk more with those people I have always wanted to in high school but just never did because of my extreme shyness/fear of people.

I always kept to myself. I only had three really good friends who actually took the time to talk with me. I have run into them a few times within these 9.5 years, and we always plan on getting together. We are always busy, so maybe we'll just see each other at the reunion.

I didn't go to either one of mine. I got a letter for my 10th reunion but nothing for my 20th. I guess they had it. I just had no desire to attend anyway.

How did you pass?

Here if you miss over like 28 days or something, even if you have all A's, you fail.

When I was in 10th grade I know I missed more than that and I still passed.

Must depend on the state or something.

Yea probably and they had to be excused absences too.

My 10 year high school reunion was last year. However, as someone who is shy and withdrawn I never really fit in while in high school and was quite happy when I graduated. I have no desire to remember those four years. I did not attend the reunion.

We're only allowed to miss 9 days per semester.

I think high school reunions would be fun, seeing the people you pretty much grew up with, whether you like them or not, and what they're up to now. Sounds pretty sweet to me. Tell them you invented post-its.

MissZero · 08-18-2005, 11:48 PM
