He asked my dad about what he does for a job, my dad being the salty southern army man he is said "I kill people" he says the look on the dude's face was priceless.

@@bax2603 Retired middle school teacher here. Agreed, some bullies are acting out due to crappy home life. Unfortunately some kids are just crappy kids. They become bullies to feel macho, gain status with their cohorts, to feel a sense of one upmanship, and sadly some simply enjoy inflicting cruelty. I grew up (and still live) on a farm. The same thing happens among herd animals, i.e. cattle, goats, hogs, etc. A hierarchy evolves. There always ends up being dominant and subordinate members of the herd. And believe it or not, it's obvious that many of the dominant members of the herd intentionally taunt the subordinate. When it comes to humans, I guess it just shows that primal animal trait is still in the gene pool.

Not me but my sister. She didn't even know there was a reunion, because her boyfriend never even attended his. Well she heard a few friends asking if she was going to attend the reunion, prompting my sister to ask "Wait, what? we have a reunion?" and it turns out, nope. She didn't get an invitation. She had to go as one of her friend's guest. Sounds like a mistake, right? Well, when she gets there, several people consciously act like she doesn't exist, a few people seem surprised to find her there. Turns out? She wasn't given an invitation by mistake - she wans't given an invitation on purpose. I can tell you why in one sentence. ...she was on the debate team. Yeah, all the clubs had a little reunion, except for the Debate Team. Only one person from the Debate Team attended, and like her he also had to go as a guest. Then she saw pictures from the last few reunions, and hey, what the heck? There was one for her boyfriend's year. He wasn't even told it was a thing! Of course you can guess why he wasn't invited either. Because he was ALSO on the Debate Team. Yeah, nobody liked the Debate Team. They sent an invite to the stoner who was in jail for grand theft auto, and people who were currently on deployment, but not the Debate Team. That's when it all made sense. Why the Debate Team always had one page with a single picture taken from the beginning of the year in the yearbook. (And why even the Chess Club finishing third in a tournament got more fanfare than the Debate Team winning a meet) Why most of her classmates and even some of her teachers blocked her on Facebook, and (part of) why the valedictorian was booed at the Graduation. (I say part of because the running was SUPER competitive that year - there were a lot of accusations of plagiarism and nepotism.) Yeaaaaah.... I admit my sister was toxic as cyanide during high school (not helped by being in Debate!) but that was still very shitty of her classmates to do that.

I can't imagine going to a reunion, it's really weird hearing about it. I forget the some people might actually have had a positive experience at HS.

I'm never been to any one of my reunions. I didn't like most the people that I went to school with, so why would I want to see them now. The ones I do like we're still friends so I see them anyways.

When I was in Year 11, one of the girls in my class tried giving me what she called dating tips. It was quite literally "Just meet behind a bush and stick it in." At our 1st year reunion, this same girl arrived with her daughter. I guess her advice worked.

"Someone in your class will have died by the time you reach your ten year reunion." My class couldn't even graduate before someone died, and we only had 100 students. (Accident. A tree house gave way and fell on him, crushed him instantly. Since then, we've lost two more to a drunken car accident and a drug overdose. We just passed our five year mark last month.) Also, our five year reunion will likely not happen now because COVID. This is fine with me. I'm waiting to go to a reunion until people actually change.

Apparently we had massive suicide issues after graduation. With people buried all over the place couldn’t decide which cemetery to settle for… I don’t expect the situation to have improved on the student side… especially with news of teachers now joining the trend…

The reunion was organised through facebook. As I had little to no contact with any of them, I didn't really want to go. I had that weekend off anyway, so decided to visit my best friend instead.

I was really wishing to see the poor kid that everyone didn’t really like because he was poor and then they come back 10 years later with 2 kids and pulls up with a family car like a Tesla model X or a Porsche and everyone is confused as hell who it is and then realizes who it is

I like the people making fun of other people for still being caught up in high school drama years later, yo folks you all are the ones still caught up in high school enough that you feel a need to go have a big ass meet up with everyone. Normal people just don't care about high school after it is over. If the friends you had in high school were that good you would still be in touch and friends with them now.

Is there really such a thing as a high school reunion? Who would actually want to go to one? High school is to move on and never look back. Why go back to such horrid times again?

@@tylernelson3343 I thought that was just a myth that people enjoyed high school. But there is no way for me to know because I never looked back to see if anybody did enjoy it or not. I do not have not one good memory from high school. It was so repetitive and monotonous. At least I was never bullied nor got into a fight. I just went in, did my time, and left. I never even bothered to learn anybody's name.

I was never invited to any of my class reunions, the last one was for 25 years. I went 2 separate times because a friend told me it was happening and asked me to go with her. I regret going and refuse to ever go again, no one wanted to talk to me even though we've known each other our entire lives. They felt I wasn't even worthy of speaking to or acting like they knew me.

I (55m) went to only one reunion: my 10th year in 1992. so this was before the internet. I have know idea how we all were contacted. Of the class of 600 some 150 classmates showed up with spouses around 200+. I was a nobody in high school, I had a core group of friends, maybe 10 or so, and I'd of guessed maybe 50 of the 600 would even know me. To my surprise, about 30 people remembered me at the reunion, but they remembered me as a nobody. The thing that really was the WTF thing was that they were all surprised I had a kid. That wasn't the thing, though. I then introduced them to my wife that was with me at the reunion. They were all like "OMG!!!!!! YOU GOT MARRIED???? YOU HAVE A WIFE????" WTF? Was I that so much a nobody that I couldn't find a spouse??? I got drunk and never went to another reunion.

For the "John Smith" story. The best friend needs to carry a fake mustache so whenever someone says "didn't you die?" He could put it on and respond "you didn't see me".

The popular lot of my year group were planning a 5 year reunion last year . I never got an invite because I was very hated as was blamed for getting two popular people expelled. Never did . My brother got a facebook event invite . He declined. No clue if the reunion went ahead.

This isn't my story but this is one of my former teachers story. They said that high school reunions can be weird. They've attended their first reunion with their spouse but for the second high school reunion their spouse was busy and was unable to attend so they have decided to attend the reunion alone. Now their alone visiting with everyone and a lot of their former classmates started hitting on them since they assumed they got divorced... to me that was a funny story. He spoke about his own history teacher saying their history teacher enjoy teaching his class was always helpful and loved their students so much that the teacher married one of them after they graduated highschool.

What was the prize?

About 5 years after graduation something good happened but I handled it badly on my part. I had recently been married. I and the (Will call her the Ex) were walking around for a while. During this whole time, The Ex kept increasing getting madder and madder at me. I finally had enough and asked why she was mad. LIKE TOU DON'T KNOW! THAT CUTE GIRL OVER THERE HAS KEPT HER EYES GLUED ON YOU THE WHOLE WE'VE BEEN HERE. I looked up and yes a very cute girl was smiling and looking at me but I had no idea who she was. The Ex said that I needed to puy a stop to this right now. I was embarrassed and told The Ex that she was wrong acting like this. I walked over to the very good-looking girl, and before I could say anything she came to me and said "Your J**** L****. Right? You lived on this street, you play football and wrestle and you were in Mrs. B****** for kindergarten. Do you remember G**** N****? I thought back and barely remember a very shy very plain chubby girl. There is no way this sexy girl could ever be the same person. She continued to tell me that the minute she saw me she could remember everything we did and said together. Every detail of school lessons and projects we did. This made her very happy wanted hug and kiss me but could see how The Ex. acting and didn't want to get me in more trouble. She could see that I was really confused and went on to explain. She had been in a very bad car crash was in a coma and lost her memory. She couldn't remember who she was, her parents nor brothers, nothing. There are things she doesn't and maybe never will. But I remember you and everything about you. Thank you, she said. Here comes my regret and should dealt with better. I turned and looked at The Ex. by now she was even madder. Instead of being happy for this girl and proud for myself and find out more about her car crash. All I said was "That's nice." turned got The Ex. and left the reunion. For the next 45 minutes on the drive home, all I heard was "Why was I flirting with her, Is she my girlfriend and every reason I was a bad husband. At one point I had to stop and buy two 24 oz. beers slam them down and now had to listen to her tell me how much of a drunk I am. The Ex. finally ran out of things to say and I drove to her mother's house. She got out of the car slamming the door and her family was outside. I yelled at her "STOP! You are going to listen to me! Once I'm done I'm going home. You will stay here at your mom's. That girl is someone I went to school with that had a bad car accident lost her memory. She didn't know her own family. But she knew who I was and could remember everything we did and said in school. That's why she was happy to see me. Then I was a dumb shit to her just because you thought I was flirting with her. Her name is G**** N**** you can go on-line and check out her story. I'm out of here. Well for the next few days she couldn't find me plus she had no way to get into our house.

I missed my 10 year reunion. I was not in my home country at the time. (Military) While I've moved back a couple of years ago, I have to admit... Due to the fact that two of my three best friends at the time have already passed away, I would find it extremely painful to even go back to my home town, let alone see other faces from my past. I've only been back to my former home providence a couple of times in the last decade for that reason. While I am tempted to make the 20 yr reunion, if I'm still kicking in seven years.... I don't know if I will have healed enough as a person for it by that time. Does the pain of tragic loss ever really go away? After a decade I can safely say 'no'. At least not thus far. At least at the moment I can say I just don't see myself going through with it. There's nothing left there for me.

Haven't had a reunion yet, because I've only been graduated for 4 years, but one night in November me and five friends went to the bar, where there were about 40 people who we knew from school. Former students and a few teachers randomly showed up in like ten different groups. They ended up keeping the bar open an extra hour for us

I went to my 10yr reunion and it was trippy- all the "popular kids" had all sorta remained in the area and were all literally exactly the same as their parents, living their parents lives, they all seemed happy but it was so WEIRD to me lol, totally surreal...I was one of the few who escaped ASAP and had moved away the furtherest and I'm pretty sure I had the most interesting life at the time....now it's like 20yrs later and now I have kids as well so I kinda get it now- maybe I've just caught up finally lol, maybe I'm STILL just way more immature than my schoolmates- they were all "grownups" and I so wasnt- or maybe it's just that the type of people who would go to reunions are just toal normies and all the interesting kids had better shite to do anyway lol lol....but I'm still so glad I went, it was incredibly therapeutic and empowering and validated a lot of the choices I had made in my life, everything worked out yay me, I may have made (a lot of!!) mistakes in my life but at least I wasn't living my parent's life, my mom's life, I was free, I was happy and I was so so so SO very glad to have escaped that small country town...and lol most of all, damn- I'm so very glad I didn't get impregnated before 20!!!😂😂🤣😉

I made it a point to attend my 15-year reunion specifically because I was so heavily bullied in Middle School and a lot of the people I went to high school with were the same people that believe me. I turned it around in high school and ended up being pretty popular specifically because I got out of the ugly doubling faze, came into my own confidence and was overall really nice person. I still really wanted to go back to high school and rub it in all of my police faces that I was happy successful and what not. I ended up remembering almost nobody and the few people that went that I did remember we're still living at their parents house, got fat, or had a fuck ton of kids then got divorced, and overall it was just really embarrassing to see them all like that. One dude however was telling anyone that was willing to listen all about how he was this big shot in the army and was really proud that he had served 3 years so far. He was literally bringing it up at every single fucking opportunity and walking around like he was everybody's fucking hero. He nearly spit out his beer when I told him I had been for 7 years active duty and one year in the reserves before letting my contract end and was now working as a contractor on an Air Force Base in Las vegas. I assumed we went to high school together considering he was there but I didn't remember him either.

If my high school class ever has a 10 year reunion I know for a fact I won’t be invited 😂

I switched schools at the end of junior year, And I graduated this year. A few weeks ago I went to my home town and when I was in Walmart this girl kept following me and like awkwardly going in front of me, and facing me until I just went around her. When I was getting in the car I got a text on Instagram from this one girl who always liked me but only when I had a gf, that it was rude to ignore people. So I have no fucking idea how these guys can recognize people after 50 years

And this is why I haven't went to any reunions.🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪

One thing that I think would be a cool idea is to contact your former high school and get a former teacher to do a tour around your high school to show you what has changed and what has remained the same. You could do this alone or with a couple of friends that you had made in high school. This way, it’d be a more sentimental experience and you could really reminisce as opposed to going to some high school reunion party where you would interact with people who you could not care much to see again. And after the tour if you’re with former high school friends, you could then go to a bar for some celebratory drinks in a small group.

Wow the treasurer who tipped the left over $3000 to the bar staff. That's a class act right there 👏

Wow my 10 year reunion would fit right in with this. The former "popular girls" planned it to be at our old high school in a pavilion with no electricity for fans, during the summer, potluck style food, no alcohol and encouraged people to bring their kids. Country school with 86 kids in our graduating class with most of them related (cousins). I didn't go.

That first sorry guy though… there’s a special place for you in heaven

I am amazed at these EXTREME Class sizes, 100 - 1000 People per class?! How do they fit so many folks into a single room, how do teachers handle a class full of so many people? How freaking huge was the school? And how many paralel classes were there?

Well, all the people in your primary and secondary are your class. Like all of them lumped together. I hope that makes sense I tried my best.

My 10 year reunion was a cluster also. They reached out to the alums for suggestions, and a number of us had moved away and asked for enough warning so we could request time off, etc. We stopped hearing about the reunion. Turns out, a bunch of people who still kept in touch since graduation all went out together, and nobody who wasn't part of their group was invited. Our 20 year anniversary was COVID'd.

Not at a reunion but hooked up with people from my grad year at a party(13 years after graduation) and someone pulled out an album of pictures and I was pointing out how all the guys were wearing the elephant leg bell bottoms, platform shoes and shiny disco shirts and one guy laughed and said “and what were you wearing?”. I was standing there in Levi jeans, cowboy boots and a t-shirt and one of the other guys just laughed and said “pretty much what you’re wearing now”. 30+ years later, I’m still dressed the same way🤷‍♂️

The teacher who predicted the death before the 10 year reunion would have been absolutely correct about our class. 5 months after graduation one of my Best friends died along with another person from our class. The anniversary of their death is 10/23

We had a girl have a baby in the 7th grade; she was in most of my classes. Cute kid; had to bring him a few times to class, I remember sitting next to her and glancing over to see a sleeping baby. Very well behaved. But yeah, she was like 12 or something. Got R’d by someone, we live in small town in Tennessee with a lot of churches so the abortion was out of the question.

That's nothing, having a child junior or senior year isn't out of the ordinary. But that statement didn't make sense being that they mentioned she may have had the child in 8th grade, which would've made the kid like 14-15 yrs old, not 11 unless it's a 10 yr reunion since graduating 8th grade, lol (weird, but to each other own I guess).

We couldn't have our 10 yr reunion due to COVID, but then when the talk started again about doing one last year, our classmates started dying left and right.

High school years, even though I had friends, were one of the loneliest times of my life. The few friends I had were great but I don’t think I’d be invited. It was hard socializing and I was kind of an easy target (made no better because I was really sensitive and easily scared.) But if I do get invited, assuming they do reunions at my school, I think I’d go. Call it curiosity or masochistic inquiry, but I’d be cool to see how everyone has changed.
