I will say that these stories aren't funny!!!! No I am joking. Reunions suck. I do not know why we put ourselves through the torture. You can't wait to get out of school and then go back a few years later to see the people you wanted to get away from! Torture!
One highlight of that night was one guy approached one of the "attractive" girls from Grammar School and said that she had hurt his feelings back then when he wanted to go out with her and she didn't even have the guts to tell him no, that she had someone else do it for her.
High School, of course was different. I had by that time lost weight, had a diverse group of friends and enjoyed everyone.
When one group became a little out of control, I moved on to the next. I hung out with nerds, populars, jocks and even the teachers! In fact, I had more teachers wanting to date me than the guys I went to school with!
Unfortunately, it was a really tough school and I think there won't be a reunion until most are out of jail!!
Oh well..***** goes on!!!!

I haven't been to any reunions simply because most of my friends went to a different high school than I did. And of those, there's only one that I still keep in contact with. And, the final factor is that my high school is 2,000 miles away.
It would be torture, for me I think, to go to one. I really don't want to see how the guys I drooled over then have aged. I'll just keep my illusions.

OK I think.........
I must be on a different page.......
I enjoyed high school! Had 63-graduating seniors in my class. Small community! Entering and leaving sign on the same post. Pa-da-bump.
I was one of the 3-4 primary jocks in the school, QB on the football team that, unfortunately lost the state title game, but was a great time. Center on the basketball team, pitcher on the baseball team. You know the drill. Got me scholarships to college.
Have returned to several reunions during the past 30-yrs. Got $1.26 for a gallon of gas for coming the farthest...... 1300 miles. Funny how some of the guys still talk about "plays" on the football field. Remember that one........ not much has changed in their lives. But that is a small town.
I do projects, build things. Lots of zeros in my numbers. Many can not even imagine that. Just every day for me. So it is interesting to listen.
Still want some of the ladies....... yowser!

I subscribe to Friends Reunited and have entered my school details (in my real name).
For two of my three secondary schools (11-18) there is no one registered that I would recognise as a contemporary. The other one has most of my then friends but most without contact details.
I am in contact with one man who attended the same school as me from ages 9-11. We are swapping scans of memoriabilia and having a good laugh. We were both in a production of Peter Pan. He was a pirate. I was Tinkerbell (off-stage because I was so much larger than the other actors and there is no giant in that story), ringing a bell on cue. He had lines. I just rang that ****** bell.
Had a reunion of my Boy Scout troop for their 75th anniversary. Very few from my era there but I was pleased that the troop was still doing the unusual things they did in my time, like taking the scouts to see ballet and opera.
Work related groups on Literotica seem full of the people I would not want to meet again - the nerds and the arse-lickers.
I'm not sure how good reunions are for you. They emphasise your age and also remind you of things (and people) you would rather forget. You can't go back in time successfully.
Contacting a old girlfriend through Friends Reunited reminded both of us why we had split up. Until then I at least had only remembered the good times.

My 20th High School Reunion is in August. The only reason I'm going is because my best friend from HS who I am still friends with is bringing the wife down from Berkeley for it.
I found the 10th to be annoying. My date for the night had to cancel so I went solo. I did have fun hanging out with a couple of the guys, and went dancing afterward with a high school buddy who had come out of the closet senior year. What I remember is that everyone was surprised by my size (5-91/2 and 160 lbs at graduation, 5-11 and 200 lbs at reunion ) and how so many of the people I remembered as being popular had stopped their emotional growth at that level.
Oh, I learned that gay men in their own clubs make the dirty dancing moves I knew look really tame. I must admit it was a great ego boost getting hit on so much even if I had no intention of accepting any offers. I was not afraid to dance though.
I would enjoy a reunion of my high school newspaper staff. My school was all-boy but we shared a newspaper with an all girl school, and I had many friends there. Our feature editor on that staff is now Ahnold's Press Secretary. Wonder if she would bring the boss?

Ahnold
My daughter was in Austria during the publicity about the recall election. The Austrian guys in the street would see a reference to it and elbow one another, saying "Ahnold!" in an amused and gloating voice.
She got a chuckle out of seeing that.
Never mind, back to your topic...

LIke I said earlier, a High School Reunion I would have loved! I had the best times there. I remember getting an A in science because the teacher was going through a divorce and he would bring in his daughter and I would watch her during class and braid her hair! LOL
I was in the science club and all we would do was go on party trips!
I was on the Yearbook -- I was the president of the Co-Operative Club -- I was on cheerleading in Freshman year until I got injured!
High school was a blast....but the reunion I went to was a grammar school reunion, which sucked.

Re: OK I think.........
Ahhh, another reason I skipped. The first time, I was back home having messed up finishing graduate school and not feeling particularly successful and didn't feel like meeting up with some of my favorite fantasies and being totally rebuffed after finally having enough of a bit of confidence to talk to them.
Then, at the 20th reunion, was new enough in my marriage that I was of a mind of what would draw me to a reunion where most of my friends were not in evidence and I wasn't even single to enjoy the mingling...(And, I know, being married doesn't mean you can't still party and enjoy yourself, but I was new to it at the time<g>)
Oh, and my class had 716 people in it, so things were a bit harder, I think, if you were on the fringe of things to begin with.

We're fixing to put our son into a small private school (what I guess would be a public school in the UK). Otherwise he would be going to the biggest high school in all of Duval County, and we felt like he wouldn't get the attention he needed and in fact would be crunched up in that giant student factory.
However, occasionally my husband waffles...he goes on about how he regrets that Henry might miss out on all the social stuff he got into in HS, the German Club, golf, etc. This is where the difference in our backgrounds comes out. He was Salt & Pepper, a dance club for the children of the well-connected in Pasadena, TX--his mother was quite the political animal back then, rubbed shoulders with all the politicians and social elites in the town. I dare say he actually went to the HS dances. I never did. Fortunately he's not really the type to feel like his life peaked in high school. People like that, I feel, were Part of the Problem for everyone else.

I have to go along with most of the replies here. I graduated almost 30 years ago. Have never been to a reunion. When I'm asked why, I ususally say that I didn't like most of those people then, why should I like them any better now.
Now college was another story. That was one of the most fun times in my life, but high school, YUCK.
Don't know to many people who really look fondly back on high school, althought there are a few. And then, of course, there are the really sad cases for whom high school was the high point of their lives. They were top jocks or cheerleaders and have never really done anything since.
