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 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

Fuck no. I was done with that shit the moment it was over. I didn’t give a fuck about them back then and I certainly don’t give a fuck about them now. Anyone I cared to keep in touch with I’ve kept in touch with.

If one was held, then I was not invited. In any case COVID fucked up my last 2 years of highschool, so I feel it would’ve been awkward.

I was asked by some friends that I hadn’t seen since HS if I was coming to my 10 year reunion. It happened to also be the same day of my wedding and when I saw pictures, looked like maybe 40-50 of class of 300 showed up. There wasn’t a 20 planned that I’m aware and honestly with social media I don’t see a point.

I was invited to my 10 year. The person running it had encouraged my exgf to break up with me years ago. It wasn’t being held at the school, and by all accounts only a few people were going. I think it was going to be at a Denny’s essentially. It sounded miserable so I skipped it. No regrets.

I did, but undercover. It was hilarious!

A lot changed in my life after graduation, including my first name and my surname (the latter due to marriage, the first thanks to deed poll, I always disliked the name my parents gave me…).

A few dear old friends from school knew about me living abroad, about all the other changes going on in my life and since all of us were the weird folks back then, we decided to prank everyone else big time.

So, I went there as a friend of one attending. Fricking no one recognised me. Not a soul. But they kept asking why person x was the only one no one found contact details of online, or any other way of contact. The person they knew just disappeared into thin air after graduation.

A big mystery no one could figure out who wasn’t in on the ruse. Some great theories we’ve overheard that evening included, but were not limited to:

A) dead

B) in prison

C) became a hermit

I stood right next to those people I went to school with for over 10 years, some I knew even longer.

It was a fun challenge for me keeping a straight face for the entire evening while drinks were also involved. Not one person could figure out they knew me in the first place. :D

I went to the first one and didn’t enjoy myself. Saw the assholes are now cops and most of the self-proclaimed cool kids were now shilling one MLM or another. Everyone still hung out in the same groups they did in high school. They held a moment of silence for the popular dickhead who got drunk and drowned in a river after high school.

Never once. I still talk to the only people from there I care to know.

No.

I’d moved out of state by the time the first one came around. Seemed like a lot of bother and expense to see people I didn’t keep in touch with otherwise.

Nope. Hell I’m not even sure there was one.

The venn diagram of “people who organize and attend high school reunions” and “people I want to ever see again” are two circles drawn on different pages in different books on different shelves.

Thought about the 10 year then went to see phish instead

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.

I’m so relieved to find a ton of other “no’s” in this thread!

I always felt like I was being a bit antisocial not to go to one. I’ve never been to a college reunion either. I’ve kept in close touch with only one person from high school and a handful from college. Add to that: 1) I don’t feel like I have much to brag about; 2) I would feel icky bragging even if I did. And that’s what I imagine reunions to be, if you haven’t kept in touch generally: just a bunch of near-strangers posturing to each other to feel better about themselves. I just don’t have any interest in that. It’s much the same reason I got off of social media about 10 years ago (minus the link aggregators/forums).

Yes and I even volunteered to plan it. We didn’t have one until 20 years and it was nice to see how people all kind of become normal. Even the kids that were assholes were reasonable to talk to and several apologies were made.

I went to a smallish high school (a handful more than 100 per grade) and all of us were together since kindergarten. Some people flat out said they wouldn’t come and I think they missed out.

We had some teachers show up that were still in town. Some dude was like “hey dream_weasel I’m sorry I used to pick on you here’s why I did”, and some ancient crushes and gossip got revealed. It was on the whole pretty fun. I think we will do one for 25 years now.

Edit: All the “no” in this thread is wigging me out. Morbid curiosity would have made me say yes at some point.
