    Do any of you go to your high school reunions?

    I know many on this board are still in high school or dropped out, but for those of you who stuck it through and graduated, do you go to your reunions?

    Haven't been to one yet, but a few old friends said it was a good time.

    Lame Facebook nostalgia. Fortunately I never felt slightly compelled to do such a thing ...

          My 10 year reunion was cancelled. Wouldn't have mattered though, anyone I wanted to stay in touch with, I have.

            Nope. I do not go. We just had one last year.

            My opinion appears to be shared by most of our class, as few ever show up to them. I think we had a graduating class of just under 400, and maybe 50 show up to the reunions. We've only had 2 since graduation, and that is something like 20 years now.

              Guess I'm the only one so far that has gone to his 10 year HS reunion. It's cool to see old friends and first loves. I'm not going to date myself and tell you how far till my 20th HS reunion is...YIKES!

                I do not. I speak to a handful of peeps via Facebook, and all of them are fucking miserable with their crappy jobs and being divorced. I get enough of them via Facebook; I'm not about to travel across the country to a fucking Holiday Inn so we can hang out in a banquet and relive past memories that no one wants to share.

                  I'm 71, so there have been many Saratoga Springs (NY) HS reunions for me--we're done them every five years. Every one was a LOT of fun. Besides all the cocktail parties, dances/skits/brunches/BBQs/etc, our 50th included a romp back at our actual high school which had recently been renovated back to the late 50s decor and look that we all remembered and grew up in.

                  I'm looking forward to my 55th reunion in 2013!

                      I think Facebook killed the high school reunion... Mine was supposed to be last summer, was rescheduled twice, and when it finally happened I think 20 people (class of 300) went.

                      Nowadays, 10 years later, everyone knows where everyone else is... You see their daily updates on Facebook, or you all still live in the town you grew up in together. For the guys like me that just want the reunion to show off how much better we turned out, they don't care, lol.

                          I go just for shits and giggles, most of the popular kids are now fat, bald, and miserable. I love how they relive the glory days of high school

                            I went to mine this last year. 10 year. Im not a fan of most of the people that came but the hand full that I did enjoy hanging with was well worth it. Also I got to see my favorite teacher. He popped into the after party at the bar and found me in the corner swilling beers. It was different seeing him with beer in hand abut it was still the same. We had a nice talk about how weve both been and my career choices. He wasnt shocked at all ;)

                            Spent the weekend hanging out with the select few I remember and still have great admiration for. Told the rest to fuck off and ditched their parties

                            If you want to see the hand full of people you actually liked... its well worth it. If you dont have anyone you want to see... chances are its mutual.

                              I don't think I would. I think it would be saddening.

                              I imagine all these "successful" people would be there looking twice our age... I remember Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir reported on one reunion he attended and said "There was a lot of soul death there that day."

                              Count me out...

                                My 10 year is this summer, I'm surprised by how many of my friends fear going because 'its just everyone showing off how better they are' of course I was friendly with most everyone in my class so I want to go and I'm arrogant enough to not care if everyone shows up in private helicopters, won't affect how awesome I am! I think life is more fun with connections and friends, why limit yourself? Anyhow you never know who'll be your next biz contact or best friend...

                                  Your positive attitude and outlook on life will create much resentment and unconscious jealousy... good luck!

                                    i'm not sure how they would even contact me to let me know its happening, regardless i wouldn't go.

                                                One coming up in two weeks, not sure if I'll go, although I would love to see some people (and women) I really do have mixed feelings - different worlds and different lives we lived. Even if that would turn out all right then I'll hardly be able to keep in touch with those people.

                                                    I think the class president was in rehab on the 10 year and no one else picked up the ball so there was no 10 year. 20 year is next year and from what I hear he's in some extended 1 year rehab program.. So probably no 20 year. lmao

                                                      HS reunion? No one even went to senior prom... It was in the fucking HS Cafeteria I think because they couldnt get enough $ together or something for a good place. A few of us just went out to a party instead... My HS was kind of lame.
                                                      Although my senior year of HS was one of the most fun years of my life I'd say...

                                                        that might be the only reason to go.. to tap some tail that you never got to/ turned you down in highschool.

                                                            I attended one reunion and that was a few years ago. It was a pretty good turnout...but I wish I had not attended after seeing how some of my old girl friends looked. I would have preferred to keep them as they were in my memories...this even applies to some of the guys.
                                                            When you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!

                                                              I went to my 5 and 10 year reunions and plan on going to the 15 year. I just enjoy catching up with old friends in person. Facebook is fun and all but nothing beats talking to people in real life.

Its 3 days of drinking on the beach we used to work at called gator beach. 3 days of emptying multiple budweiser beer keg trucks. I'm not a big drinker but I always manage to stay drunk for the entire 3 days. Afterwards my old fire team usually heads down to Ensenada for another day or two. I have a good time but at the conclusion I will have to admit I'm glad we only do it once a year.

Every one was a LOT of fun. Besides all the cocktail parties, dances/skits/brunches/BBQs/etc, our 50th included a romp back at our actual high school which had recently been renovated back to the late 50s decor and look that we all remembered and grew up in.

                                                                                      I'm looking forward to my 55th reunion in 2013!

                                                                                          One funny, but sad, thing was for our 10 year reunion they sent everyone out a questionnaire and wanted you to fill it out and send it back even if you weren't going. They used that info to put a book together for everyone that attended that told about everyone's lives. If you were married, had kids, what you did for work, where you lived and what you biggest memories from high school were etc. One of the questions was your biggest moment since high school. Some of the answers were depressing and sad. One guy's best moment was shooting a deer on the opening day of deer season. Another was a guy just wishing things were like they were in high school. There were a bunch where people were divorced, had kids and sounded like they hated their lives.

                                                                                          A friend of mine went and said the whole thing was kind of depressing so I was glad I didn't go.

I've talked to a few and they have the same mentality and the same conversations as 26 years ago. That was enough for me. It's hard to find a bridge when you don't live in the burbs with 2.3 kids and drive a minivan.

Anywhere between 5-20 year mark it's the same old stories. Married, divorced, kids they never see, factory workers, whatever.

                                                                                                  Those who I liked back in H.S., in college, or other acquaintances, I still talk to and never lost touch with. Whether via the old phone number system before, or social networks now. We still get together a few times a year for dinner, golf outings, jet-skiing, a night out, or whatever.
