I went to my 20th, but I doubt I go to any others.
If I were aroubd, I’d go to my high school reunions to see old friends. I went to one or two when I was living closer. I do go to my college reunions. They’re wonderful.
I went to one. My classmates tried to sell me insurance, and hit on my wife.
Nah, I have so many sibs that we have our own mini reunions. At one point, we had someone in 8,9,10,11,12th grades. Crazy, Brady Bunch gone bad!! Add in-laws and we ruled the school.
I didn’t go to my graduation. Why should I bother with a reunion?
Yeah, we really don’t do class reunions in Canada.
I went to the 10th and 25th high school reunions. I skipped the others. The 40th will be in 2020. At present, I have no plans to attend. I haven’t been in any kind of regular contact with any of my classmates since the early 1990s.
I’ve never gone to any kind of college reunion or homecoming. It shames me to admit that, other than a young woman I dated for two years, I can’t remember the full name of even a single classmate. The first names I recollect are precious few.
Sure. I’ve been to 4 of them. We should have a 40 year next year. I have almost no contact with anyone I went to H.S. with so it’s fun to see them again. It’s also a kick to check out dodged bullets (girls I dated back then but got a bad case of the uglies later in life).
The first one I went to was a 5 year reunion which is kind of stupid. What really changes after 5 years? But we did get bombed and drove around in the golf carts they had at the resort it was at. Like I said, not much had changed from high school. 
I was relentlessly bullied in high school; to this day thinking about high school too much puts me in a rage. I’d never even consider going to a re-union, or trying to find the people I went to school with. Not that I learned many of their names; most of them were just “the guy who threw rocks”, “the guy who punched me” and so on.
Going to an event where I hate almost everyone there doesn’t sound appealing at all.
Went to my 5th and 10th. That was enough for me. There was only a handful of us. Many of my classmates no longer live in the immediate area.
The school rents a banquet room at a local hotel and each reunion class has its own table. Photos are posted in our alumni magazine. At my 30th only one person showed up, and it was one of the “big jocks” back in the day. People must’ve felt sorry for him because he appears in a number of other classes’ photos front and center.
My 40th is this year.
I’ve never been to one and don’t plan on going to any in the future. High school was okay and everything, but I don’t have any interest in reconnecting with anyone or strolling down memory lane.
Went to my 10th. Found most of the guys were married and most of the gals were on the hunt after their high school romances flamed out. Even though I was never one of the in guys in high school, I was a hot commodity that night. Driving a 56 Thunderbird to the reunion helped. Had an enjoyable evening with a gal that admitted she had a crush on me when we were in grade school.
Someone is already trying to put plans together for a 50th reunion in 2025.
I never went to any, for a number of reasons:
- I don’t like the fact that they’re organized by some outside group.
- What they want me to pay to attend just seems a little high.
- I lived in the area where I grew up for 40 years, and, in fact, was the football & boys’ basketball PA guy for about 10 years, so anybody who wanted to meet up with me knew where I was.
I have met a few people that I went to high school with “by chance,” but just about all of them were in a different graduating class, so I wouldn’t have met them at a reunion anyway.
No. There might be some people there whom I would not care to see unless they were laying mangled under some train wheels.
It’s 2018. I don’t have to be positive anymore.
No, never went to one and I have no desire. It’s not for any specific reason, I’m just not inclined to do so. There were people I liked a bunch and people I’m sure I’d still probably dislike.
Hell no.
I never went to any school more often than 3 years in a row, & graduated from a High School I was in for 5 months.
My 50th (yikes) is this year. Although it’s actually a year early (they’re combining the 68 and 69 classes).
I went to the 20th, and it was o.k. I saw some people that it was fun catching up with, but although some of us got together a few times after that, we drifted apart again.
They rented a ballroom at a hotel in Anaheim, because the organizers had moved to Orange County. Probably 80% of the attendees were still in the West L.A. area. Kinda rubbed the wrong way. I wasn’t going to spring for a hotel room, and I wasn’t going to drink much before a 40-50 mile drive home, so it was a bit subdued for me.
No interest in going this time.
Not to say anybody should be going to reunions, as I skipped most of them…but maybe let go of the anger. For almost all of us, HS was a long time ago. Why are you still giving free lodging to teenage bullies in your head? Those people have changed, most likely, in the ensuing years…just as you have. Or maybe they are dead. Or maybe many things. What is for sure is that your HS nemeses no longer exist any more than HS you does.
High school wasn’t really the problem, the last two years of elementary school was the problem, when the male hormones of some of my classmates started to kick in. I have no desire to meet up with those who sexually harassed me for two solid years, and intermittently thereafter. I don’t obsess about them now, but the idea of meeting them again makes me nauseous.
I’m glad #metoo is happening, but it’s too late for me.
never been to one.
my 30 year reunion will be coming up soon, won’t go to that one either.
i was a well liked guy, didn’t have any enemies, don’t have any negative thoughts of high school in general. i just don’t have the desire, the curiosity, nor the time to see what’s going on in someone’s life i used to know just for the sake of it. if i did i would probably have a facebook account. never had one of those either.
- I’m still fairly close to five or six people i went to school with (as close as can be not living in the same city we’re from). i don’t think anything could change that till we’re all dead and gone.
