I honest say I have not. My 30th high school reunion is coming up in Augest. I got an invation in the mail yesterday. I was shocked I got one! In the 30 years since gradauation I have only been invited once! That was 15 years ago! I don't care to go but I have found out after I graduated from high school they had reuninos every five years! The reunion commity did a horrible job tracking down people! I lived at home until I was 24! My father has lived on the same place since he was born! My younger brother only lives 4 miles form our father! You'd think those knuckleheads would think of contacting my dad or brother? They did not! I never did care for high school so attending a renuion is not is nmy future. I just don't like being forgotten and this has not been the first time!

I didn't do it on purpose. I don't do spamming over here and if that happens with me i'll feel annoyed too. I been to mylot for so long and this is the first time someone called my attention about this.

Why did you post your response 3 times? Was it an accident or you did it unporpose? Whatever the reason it is annoying!

I went to 10 and 20 of the school I actually graduated from, but since I'm in touch with those I would want to see ANYWAY, I don't really see a point in going on 40 (next year). However, if I were invited by the other school I went to, I'd be interested.

I am only in touch with one school friend. Just by change the person is a guy and we are facebook fiends. I don't care to stay in touch with anyone else from my graduating class.Don't care to. So I won't be going to the renuoin.

The fact is that the other school's reunions are lots more fun because they aren't holding any grudges about the canceled prom!

I just attended a high school reunion two weeks ago. It was really fun because I used to have a happy high school life. You said you didn't care about high school very much, so you might not enjoy a reunion. Could it be that they forgot to contact you because you didn't care about high school? Just kidding.

yhell0! well, i actually don't because this summer it should be the first reunion since we graduated and here in my country we make it every 5 years, so that's why this summer we should meet for the first high-school reunion and I will definitely go, because i am curious to see tthe most of my schoolmates I am sure that there won't come all of them, but at least the half I hope it would come!

I really don't care to see any of my old classmates. I lost contact with most of then with in a few years after graduation. I am only in contcat with one. He by chance his mom is my dad's girlfriend! We keep in contact on FAcebook. I know more classmates are on Facebook but don't care to contact any one else.

I just can't see myself going to my 30th class reunion! I hate high school! I felt out of place! I was picked on all the time and I couldn't take it! I no self-confidence or self-esteem. I was not understood. I flet my friends were not real friends but were so called friends because they felt sorry for me! I was used in high school and it also happened in grade school. I rather say home and not have to go and put up with the *itches!

i've gone to some of our high school reunions. to be honest i did not feel very comfortable in any of them. somehow i felt out of the loop since those that attended live somewhat close to each other and stay in touch while i live far away and seldom see them. we have another one coming up this month; i still have not decided if i'm going or not.

One of my biggest reasons why I won't go to a reunion! I would feel uncomfortable and end up as a wild flower! I'm sure there isn't a person I rather not see! I'm sure I will stay home and watched tv by myself. I am sure there are classmates who have chnaced and some who have not!

I really don't think I would have a good time if I went to my class reunion. I was a misfit as high schooler and was picked on all the time! Some of my old classmates I rather not see anyway! Some of them used in High School and even grade school! I also felt some of my school friends! only were my friends because they felt sorry for me! I still have issues from that time which I need to come to term with.

This year will mark the 36th high school reunion next month and I haven't attended not one of them. I just never felt the need to go since the better part of my graduating class were quite snobby. I was only friends with maybe ten classmates and knowing that they weren't going I would have felt uncomfortable. So I don't feel like I missed out on anything at all. If I grew up to be famous for something I still wouldn't have gone because I would know they were only befriending me because I was famous.

I am only friends with one former high school classmate. He is on Facebook and the only high school friend on my list. I went to high school with a bunch of snobs who thought they were better then anyone else! I really don't want to go to a reunion and see if that has not changed! I'm better off staying home!

It looks you feel unsatisfied about sth. I feel sorry about that. And let me talk about myself, I graduated from high school in 2007 when it is just the 100 year annuversiry,so I attended it and gave my contriution to it because I had done sth to prepare for the special day. My campus will celebrate its birthday for every 5years, so I still have no idea whether I will recieve an invitation in 2012. But I do not care a lot of it because it is enough that I have ever been in the history of Alma Mater

I was a f*cking missfit in high school! I had few friends. I didn't fit in. I was picked on all the time. I don't want to see the people that harassed me and picked on me. I rather not relive high school which happens at reunion alot! I rahter stay home and forget about it!

Yeah ever did. I'm just 3 years away from my last graduation, but i've attended twice the reunion. The atmosphere of the reunion is very nostalgic. So, my gang back to my high school likes to invite me once in a while to do some outing or just play basketball. Even more with many social networks in the internet nowadays, everyday could be reunion day!

I would feel very uncomfortable going to a class reunion. Most of my classmates I have not seen in years. I know alot are on Facebook. One is a Facebook friend. I just can't see myself reuniting with old classmates even if it is for a few hours. I'm pretty sure I would turn into a wall flower and everyone would ignore me! I don't want to experience that!

I went to my 10 year reunion. I'm up in the air on if I really want to go to the 20 year reunion. I mean it's like I only had one close friend when I went to high school. For the most part, in high school, I felt like an oddball. I wouldn't say it's my favorite part of my life. So, in a way, it really doesn't matter to me if I go or not.

You aren't the only one who thought they were an oddball in high school! I was one to! It also was not my favorite time of my life either! This is one reason I rather not attend my class reunion. If I did I know I would be very uncomfrotable and I don't need that!

I've never gone to my high school reunions either. I've been invited a few times and I know of some other times when they didn't contact me, but I don't really care much. I never wanted to go anyway. I'm not much into social gatherings, I get so uncomfortable. I also don't like the horrible feeling of comparing your achievements with other people. You could almost hear the critical way their mind is going through while you speak to them. Anyway, I could just ask for news about what's happening to the others from my high school friends who I'm in contact with.

I just hate being forgotten if though I desided not to go! Anyway if I want to know what same of my old classmates are up to I can ask my younger brother. He knows all my ex-classmates that still live in the area. I can also ask the one Facebook friend from high school if I wanted to. I have not checked to see if he is going or not yet.

Hi Blue65packer, I've been to one reunion and I'm gearing up for the next one. We had a great time, it was good to see old friends who I'd spent my school years with. Maybe you should make a point of keeping in touch with some of your old pals. How about using a facebook group to keep in touch. Be careful. If you go around calling people knuckleheads they won't ever invite you again.

I am in contact on Facebook with one former high school classmate. Others have requested me as a friend. I denied all of them! I still have painful memories of high school even though it is going on 30 yrs! So I think going to a class reunion would be a disaster! I rather ignore that and play it safe!

I never went in a riunion .. we are too lazy so we see each other on facebook, and I like so, because, sometimes distances are good .. we can talk everyday but everyone inside his new and adult life

I have been in contact with only one former classmate on Facebook. I don't care to be in contact with any others. Some former classmates only want to talk about the high school days and nothing else! Then there are probaly classmates who are the same and some who are worse then they used to be. I really don't care to find out!
