In a couple of weeks, my 10 year HS reunion is coming up. I'm torn as to whether or not I should go. High school was 'clique-ish', as it always is. The people that I'd go to see or talk to, I more than likely already talk to or see. Everyone else, I really don't care about.

If you went, are you glad that you did? Was it still like it was in high school?

If you didn't go, do you regret it?

Thoughts?
:)

I didn't go to my 10 year or my 20 year. And yup, you guessed it, won't be going to the 30 year if I'm still alive and walking this earth! Much like you, anybody I didn't talk to in high school, I don't care very much to interact with now.

Where I come from it's every 25 years but it's not a big thing. I keep contact with them on sites like face book. We organise gathering ourselves over long weekends or when ever we go home. I did go to a school reunion and not many turned up but those who did we had a ball and kept in touch since in many ways. My family was part of the founders of the schools in the area we grew up in.
Enjoy, have fun.

The high school I graduated from was on RAF Lakenheath in England. It was one of the bases that closed, and I don't even know if there was a reunion, or where we would have held it. I probably would have tried to go, we were a small class of 84, so most of us knew each other.

I went to my 10 year HS reunion. It was cliquish. The same biotches who bullied me for years were there. Nothing changed in their sense, decency or maturity. The remained the same sad, miserable biotches. I just ignored them, although they were just as obsessed with me as they were in school. Much to their chagrin, just like in HS, I proceeded to ignore them. I sat at a table with my close friends and then danced the night away.

Why do I fascinate biotches so much? The more I ignore them, the more they try to get my attention. They can't get enough of me.

I was deployed for my ten year and couldn't make it. After that I never got invited again.

at the urging of my best friend I went to my ten.
I told her anyone who is my friend I still see. the rest I don't care about. plus I didn't only have friends of my grade level so there's a lot of people missing.
didn't bother going to my 20.

I have a feeling that it's going to be just as it was in high school. We had a fairly large class (over 400), and there's maybe 2 dozen that I really care about, and that might be pushing it. They have events going for an entire weekend, and I might make an appearance at one of the low key ones, but I'm starting to think that if I don't go, I won't be missing much.

Shame that most of the people don't change or grow up in 10 years.

no didnt go , nope dont regret

I have no intention of going to any school reunions. I had no friends.

all the ones left from my class could hold a dance party

in a broom closet....and even the wallflowers wouldn't feel crowded

No. I didn't go to my 10,20 or 30 & definitely not going to my 40th (in 2yrs).
I look at it now, the same way I did for my 10. That most people would probably be the same .... except women would have bigger azzes, & men would have no azzes & less hair.
If wanted to stay in touch, I would have. So why bother.

Nope, didn't attend my 10th high school reunion, and probably would never attend any later. I had 5 people in my class of 101, that I actually cared to talk to. I see them enough through out time that I didn't need to attend. All the rest I could care less, if they fell off the face of the Earth. Wouldn't make me attend any of their funerals.

I see the people in my class a lot! LOL there was 3 of us! but graduated top of my class! Doubt we will have a 10 year reunion haha

Any advice, well I was the class joke in high school. Being tormented was a favorite pastime of many of my classmates. It was so bad that I switched high schools in my senior year, so I wouldn't have to graduate with those people. Never did go to any reunions with the new school, mainly the friends that I had, were still my friends after high school. Ironically I was able to find a huge amounts of the former classmates on Facebook. Almost all of them are doing extremely well and have had kids. Some of them have died, a couple before the tenth reunion. I imagine that some have not prospered. You usually don't hear about people that don't do well, mainly I think because talking how you failed may not be as fun as talking how you overcame and won. I moved away across country and finally after growing up, am doing rather well. Am I upset that the people who made life miserable are doing well? No. I want everyone to do well. I imagine that the kids that tormented me grew up. I know a couple of the kids that had remorse, because they apologized later. The youth of three to four decades earlier are now adults creeping towards old age. Ironically of the 300 students that were in the graduating class of the first school. The amount of kids that made my life hell, well were under 30. I wish that I had the insight that I do now. Most people are good, if you could, I think that you would enjoy going to your tenth and following reunions. If the reunions are not fun you could always leave. If you want to go and don't because of something that happened long ago, you may regret not going later. Then what do I know?

I've been to a 5yr - 15yr and then to a 25 yr and sadly the people & classmates that I wanted to see lived right around the area that the class reunion was held at and they never attended; so I stopped going! Class of 1972, we had 186 graduate class and we've had 12 die and 3 in prison for various reasons located around the USA!
The ones that matter the most to me, I've found on FB; used to stay in touch with on Classmates.com or something like that but not anymore! I think close friends find a way to stay in touch - the others just fade into the background as 'WHITE NOISE'

I didn't go to my 10th because time and money wouldn't allow...By that time I had moved over a hundred miles away from my hometown and was raising my daughter and three step-sons! ...Like 2Old, I stay in touch with most of my high school classmates on FB...

I didnt go.....most of my friends were one year older or younger and I only went half a day my senior year anyway. Went to the football game though, thats all anyone cared about lol

I would call a few of your CLOSEST friends & see if they want to go with you- & decide from there- If you go, then you can choose whether or not to go to the next one... who knows, you just might have a good time!

I went to my 10th & had a great time! I always hung out with the COOL kids, anyway!
