I went to one a few years ago. Was interesting to see that the cute'good looking lads back then were no longer cute/good looking and the goofy ones were pretty handsome.

Personally I wouldn't. I left school 3 years ago and there's only a few people I want to see ever again. The rest I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.

No. I fell out with my best friend at school, and there was at least one other person in my class who seriously didn't like me. I don't think I would have much in common with them. Having said that I do feel some nostalgia for schooldays and schoolfriends.

Incidentally, finding people on myspace, and other sites who i haven't seen for 20 years is just a bizarre thing. I wouldn't recognise some of them if I saw them in the street, and I can only think of one or two who I might contact.

I wouldn't bother. No good can come from digging up old memories. The past has gone, leave it alone

I would only go if good friends are going. If not it's not important. Or if you hated them as welshy said, it mean nothing.

My best mate from childhood has just took his own life, at his funeral on Thursday.
For those that are curious and are on facebook, I commented on the pic so it shows in my profile... he's the guy with his arm round me on the pic in the pub.
It's killing me ATM.

I recently went to a reunion (as per the above pic I'm talking about), it was not school mates but mates from my old estate.
It was good... but then again were were all good mates, only had drifted apart and we were all basically the same, just bigger/fatter.

If I wouldn't have gone to that, I would NOT have got to have a beer with my mate and that mean so so much now.
I'm so glad I did go, I was trying to getout of it until someone twisted my arm.
I would have seriously regreted giving it a miss.
Especially when something like this happens and you don't realise how much people even mates mean to you until they are gone.

If you would have asked this before I wouldn't have felt the same way but from now on there is no way I will pass up on meeting up with old friends, from back when friends really were friends the people your memories are made up from being with.

Absolutey not ! I was bullied in school and didn't have a single friend... I wouldn't waste any of my time with those bunch of idiots.

Yes ditto, everyone used to view me in a negative light and see me as lower than them, partly due to the racial thing, partly due to acting a little different. It's like once school is over, you really want it to be OVER and not continuing with re-unions and whatnot.

IMO, the way you were in school is how the people remember you, except good friends that you still talk to. I would never go to a reunion as most of them were morons. If you've not been in contact with them for so long, why bother now?

EDIT: To add - school was good until secondary school. Secondary school was hell and the teachers said, "you'll be crying on the last day" and I said that I'd be laughing. I was right. It was pretty much the single worse place/ course that I've had to endure. Constant harrassment/ abuse. I never really had any confidence until I left and I've been pretty happy almost all the time since leaving. Of course I stuck up for myself when necessary, but I don't think any kid should have to go through that.

My younger cousin is in her second or third year of my old school now, and what's been happening with her personal life, the kids bullying her wasn't really helping. She over dosed on her mum's pills not long ago and had to be rushed to hospital. Luckily she's come out of it fine.

Nope. Not had anything to do with them for over 18 years on the main part and even the mates I made at school I haven't seen in over a decade, since we "grew apart". I hated school as I wasn't the academic sort and i'm not what you're call retrospective, either. We'd all be very different people from what we were back then, when we were just throw together out of random chance and made to work together on something we didn't want to be doing. Now they'd just be another bunch of strangers, some of whom you'd share some juvenile memories with, some you'd have unrealistic expectations of and some you'd just want to throttle.

Nah. I don't give a Monkeys what they're doing now. And I shouldn't think they give a toss about me, either.

Just as well nobody has organised one that i'm aware of, isn't it?

That's interesting. You've mentioned your race a couple of times on this forum. Were you the only person of your colour in the area, or something?

I left school about 22 years ago but got a school reunion invite on Friends Reunited yesterday. The school is being demolished and next month is the last chance to ever set foot in it and probably meet some of the people I was in school with, too.



I've got zero interest in meeting the people I went to school with, but good god, if I ever found out the place was being demolished I'd pay good money to spend half an hour behind the controls of the bulldozer/wrecking ball.

Yeeeee-haaawr!

With the internet now, it is very easy to make contact with the people who you actually want to make contact with. For that reason i wouldnt go to a school re-union as the people there that i wasnt already in contact with, i wouldnt want to know. If that makes any sense....
My school had a 10 year re-union a couple of years back, i didnt go and i heard it was a bit of a flop anyway.

Yeah I'd go

I'm really crap at keeping in touch with people, pure stupidity on my part really, and so I'd like to see some old faces

They've just had mine and I didn't bother going.
The only people I have anything in common with after leaving school I make an effort to see every once in a while, the rest I couldn't care less about.


Did have the joy of meeting the old school bully on a night out once, was a distinct pleasure to shake his hand and thank him for making me the man I am today

Is the bully deffo gonna turn up?.

Is he on the 'confirmed' list?.

No idea, but it would be comical to tw4t his ginger chops.

If he's ginger then you need to do that. It's only right.

I wouldn't go though. I seem to remember most of them being a bunch of tw@ts.

I wouldn't, I imagine it would be full of...

The same over inflated egos and wanna be football players boasting that they have now "made it" and are playing for some 3rd division team, or are now the "managing director" of their own company. Just like one big appendage swinging contest.

The class bullys, I would spend the night making niceties with, while all the while ploting their swift demise.

The beautiful girls of the school, who now are now 5 kids down and looking hagged, selfishly reminding you of your own mortality.

No, that's not for me.

I went to my 10 year one in 2000 - I was 5 stone of muscle bigger and the looks on their faces was brilliant. I used to get a hard time at school for being skinny, and my goal was 'to show them'. The reunion was very important to me as it marked the point in my life where 'I showed them'

They kept commenting and wanted to play wrestle me in a submissive way, etc
