Title: Do you go to your high school reunion?
Post by: Nancy5 on May 21, 2013, 05:28:16 pm
Have you ever gone to your high school reunion?  I went to my last one and it was fun seeing how people have changed over the years, and who married who.

Last time I got an invitation I went through my Yearbook and couldn't remember a single person, so I saved the expense of traveling 1,000 miles to spend too much for dinner with a bunch of strangers. Now if they had a Fusioncash reunion, I might do that!

i went to my first one but skipped the second my 15 year will be coming up here in 3 years and i might go, i havent decided yet.  I doubt it though because highschool was hell for me and i dont know why i would want to see the people who treated me like crap for 12 years again.

My reunion was about seven years ago and I did not attend and had no interest in attending. I didn't see the point. Wasn't really interested in seeing people who I didn't socialize with in high school.

I graduated in 85 and went for my 10 year but have not received any other invatations. And It's not like I can't be found. My parents are still in the same area, Not the same house since they down sized but they are in the phone book. As is my brother. He may be two years younger than me but a great deal of people know him. I guess I really don't care though. There is only a couple people I grew up with that I would like to see and truthfully they didn't even graduate from my school. My best friends family moved to the other side of town right after Junior year and the other is two years younger like my brother but went to the magnet school instead.

I attended Job Corps in Alaska and I pretty much know most of my classmates and keep in touch, we talked about doing reunion but we got to plan ahead because now everyone has their own lives,,,but that would be great to get reunited with old friends

I did not. Wasn't really interested in going since none of my old friends wanted to. I thought it'd be a little awkward.

There was one held in 2009.  I would have to go to Memphis, TN to attend.  I could not afford it.  Anyway, I left high school when I was in the 10th grade in 1975 and earned my GED in 1976, so I have that.  It was a lot easier than waiting until 1978 to graduate.  My youngest sister didn't graduate until she was 21. :heart: :heart: :heart:

I have never been to one since 5 years after graduation, I moved away.  I get invitations every year but there are just a very small group of people from my high school years I have any interest in ever seeing again and I can look them up on facebook, which I do from time to time.

I do not. For some reason, I've never had the interest.

No, my high school had two reunions.  I did not have any interest in attending either of them.

let the past go.....If you have some old HS friends that you have lost contact with and want to reconnect...you can do that other ways..... It really doesn't sound like a good idea for you to go. Think forward - not backward! Don't open old wounds. Enjoy the life you have now.

My 10 year reunion was last year and only a short drive away. I didn't go but honestly I hated my high school experience and most of the people who went there treated me very badly. I would probably pay money not to attend a reunion with those people. Anyone worth keeping in contact with I have kept in contact with.

Post by: Sweetpea1228 on May 29, 2013, 12:43:44 pm
I haven't been to either of mine mainly because everyone I graduated with still lives in the same town with the exception of maybe ten people and they keep in touch via face book so what's the point.
Title: Re: Do you go to your high school reunion?
Post by: tzs on May 29, 2013, 09:47:17 pm
No, because no one bothered to keep in touch with me...Besides, I am on facebook, and that's about as much of them as I can take!!! :wave:

I went to one high school reunion a number of years ago.  I was visiting in my hometown at the time so I didn't have to travel a huge distance to get there.  Wouldn't have travelled the 2500 + miles just to go to it. 
But it was fun and interesting to see some of my old classmates.  Some I would've known in an instant - others just looked so darned old!  :o 
I kept asking my husband - "Do you think I look that old to THEM??"  ;D

No.  There's only one person from high school that I try to stay in touch with if you call being Facebook friends staying in touch that is.  I didn't have much in common with those people in high school for starters.  Going to a reunion would be like working into a room of strangers IMO.

I graduated in 1978 and went to 1 reunion (10th I think?) I am going to the reunion this year (35th). I have reconnected with a number of people on Facebook and am looking forward to seeing some of them. I live in another state now so don't get back too often. I had 1 classmate that I connected with on Facebook and found out they only live 50 miles from me! I always work the Budweiser Dairyland Tractor Pull and he showed up to say hi. It was great!

I do go to my class reunions.  It is fun to catch up on everybody's lives and see how they have changed, which the guys hardly change at all, but oh us ladies, we are something else, especially when we get to our 60's and 70's!

I have never been to a high school reunion and have no intention of ever doing so.I didn't like high school very much and I wasn't that close to many of my classmates then.There is no reason why I should go back and pretend that it was the good old days.

My 40th is this summer.  I find that as you get older, the bad memories fade and you can connect with old classmates on a different level.  There is no more "one-up"-manship, or cliques -- we are too old for that crud.

Our 35th was fun and I expect the 40th to be more so,
