I went to the year 12 graduation +30 years one as the first, mostly to see if anyone I knew was there
The main party organiser from class of 1995 was also in my house in high school and college (yr 11 and 12) and recognised me and everyone else and since then I met up with the group of people they get to attend events
It turns out most of them are on the wrong side of politics and don’t know anything about the internet. AI for them is a tool to make the peak of comedy - altering photos to have big noses or two of the men holding hands
I keep quiet about my history of not caring about the gender or sex of the person I’m fucking or who’s fucking me
I was interested in attending my 10 year but I guess no one actually organized it so there wasn’t one to go to.
No. Don’t think I was even invited to any.
I’m not close to anyone from high school. I haven’t talked to anyone from that era in years. I wasn’t my best self back then, and I don’t really want to relive it.
No, because all of my high school peers were enemies. High school - or rather the entirety of my childhood - was a time of bullying. All I learned was how to hate and eradicate myself. How the fuck am I still here.
Grit?

Which one of these? 😅
- Spirit, guts, or courage
damn, i hope you’re feeling better now…
Thanks! I’m learning to be able to feel anger towards them instead of hating myself. But it’s a long journey.
I did not go to mine. But I did watch Grosse Point Blank last night, still holds up.
No. I’ve spent a long, long time and a lot of effort to try and fundamentally change the shitty person I was back then. I don’t want to revisit that chapter at all.
You know what? Same.
It took me longer than it probably should have to mature. I’m glad not to have a reminder of it out there.
Oh hell no.
I didn’t like the bulk of my classmates 40 years ago and from what I’ve seen in the FB group for my class, which I joined to find those few I did like, time has not improved them at all.
I feel like people don’t do this anymore. My highschool was very large and I don’t think myself or anyone I know even knew who is responsible for it so it never happens
Is that actually a thing people do?
I think it’s something more for the Boomer generation that didn’t have social media, honestly. My mom and dad loved high school reunions before he passed away.
Especially for the generation of people that rarely moved more than 10 miles away from the city they were born in.
It’s a lot easier to organize a high school reunion when everybody’s living down the street from where they lived in high school.
I moved 5,000 miles away from my hometown and rarely if ever go back, and I have no social media presence, so they couldn’t find me if they wanted to.
Never once. I still talk to the only people from there I care to know.
Went to both my and my partner’s 10 year. Both sucked. Would never do it again.
I’m in my 40’s and have never gone to one of my own.
It’s pretty simple. I had one really good friend in high school and about a dozen friends I hung with often. I was in the rebellious out group and didn’t really like the vast majority of the people at my high school, and thanks to social media, I already get to see how boring or train wrecky their lives have become if I ever get curious.
So there’s just no need.
Never. For the 10 year I did go to the bar in town where I was certain everyone I was interested in catching up with would be.
After that - pretty much moved on from those people and that town completely.
I guess this year would be the 30 year actually - hadn’t even considered that until replying to this post 🤔
No. High school for me was spent with people with which I have nothing in common, so I didn’t keep in touch with anyone there.
I still stumble into people I once knew, and I of course say hi and engage in some chitchat, but nothing beyond that.
Never got invited lol. Not that I’d go, I have no interest in mingling with white supremacists. I grew up in a fun area.
