| My 10th year HS reunion is coming up this year and I'm really sketchy about if I even want to bother. Not because my HS experience was bad or anything, but because I transferred schools for my senior year so I didn't have a long, memorable experience at that particular school. Did you go to your class reunion? | |

| My 15th class reunion is actually this year but I doubt I'll go. Went to my 10th reunion and was bored by the whole thing. 1/2 the people who showed up I didn't even remember and the one's who did I didn't really have anything to say to. Many of who I was kinda looking forward to seeing again weren't there. | |

| Anybody I wanted to keep up with after school I pretty much did. I'm really not pressed to see anyone else I went to high school with again, so no I wouldn't go. In fact I didn't. My 5th year high school reunion was five years ago and I didn't bother. | |

The year of my HS reunion I totally forgot about it, but I wouldn't have went anyway. Facebook is enough for catching a current glimpse of people you went to school with, and haven't seen in, over a decade ago. | |

| I graduated in '08 so my HS reunion is 8 years from now. Really I still see a ton of people I went to school with in the area. At the gas station at the mall, etc. | |

| Riley you'll sporadically see former classmates on a semi regular basis for about the first 4 years or so after graduation as after HS many still live at home with their parents for a while. After about that 4-year mark that's when you'll start seeing them less & less as then they start getting jobs, getting married, having babies and moving away from the area. Then suddenly you won't see them at all.
Sorry for getting off/subject there.
I actually went to my 10 yr. HS reunion a few years ago and had a decent time catching up with a few people. Let me tell you something about reunions...even after all the time that passes, many of the same cliques gravitate to each other and some of the same "group mentality" and showing off that existed in HS tends to reconvene at the reunion. Suddenly being back in the same orbit can eerily make some people revert back to that certain attitude/personality they had years ago. The classmates you didnt like before you still won't like because even though a decade has past, you still can recall not liking them and you instinctively go back on the defensive. So there was some of that at my reunion. But overall I had a good time at mine. | |

Hell never. I had a miserable time in high school and have no desire to see any of them again. The only way I'd go to my class reunion is if somebody paid me. | |

| So the message I'm getting here is that HS reunions really aren't worth it. Which is sort of what I suspected already. Like I said, my reasoning for not wanting to bother lies mostly on the fact that I wasn't at that school but for one year, didn't have a lot of friends there and pretty much expect to be bored at a reunion. | |

| My 10th was a few years ago, and I chose not to go. As stated by someone else here, I kept in touch with those who I was meant to and the rest who were on the fringe of that, I have now caught up with on FB, so I have no desire to attend any in the future. But, I won't paint myself into a corner with that statement. If we have a 70th reunion, I will most likely attend just to see who's still kickin'. | |

| Maybe I will attend the twentieth reunion, but I skipped my tenth without any regret. | |

| I didn't attend mine, but I had since moved, so I doubt that my old HS knew how to contact me for an invite. Oh well. | |

| HS reunions are obsolete in the era of Facebook. Doubt I'll go to mine. | |

| My respond to Shale in the other thread about faded friendship made me recall this thread for earlier this year. I went ahead and went to my school reunion but didn't have that great a time like I sort of predicted. It was awkward and boring. I asked this before but I'll bring it up again for anyone who didn't see it. Have you attended any of your class reunions or would you? | |

| I went to my tenth reunion had a pretty good time, but I refuse to go to the five year reunions. Once every ten years is good enough. | |

| I went to mine and it was a lot of plastic smiles, puffed out monkey suits and a few people who unsurprisingly were now life cynics, but honestly it wasn't all that different from how it used to be back then, just faker. | |

| I went to my 20th and 30th. It was painless. I guess it depends on how your HS experience was to begin with. | |

| I'm not planning to go to any of my H.S. reunions. I have no desire to see my ex-classmates again. I imagine it's just a bunch of people standing around talking about boring crap and trying to build themselves into more than they really are. | |
