Do people still have class reunions?

[Crone]

I'm curious.. 2011 will be my 10 year highschool reunion. Thing is, most everyone in our class is on Facebook and friends, so what's the point?

Of course, for older folks, where most maybe are not linked into social networking, it makes more sense. But for my generation, highschool was all about Myspace, and now it's for sure all about Facebook.

So I'm curious, anyone recently had a reunion? Do you just get together and talk about each others recent status updates that everyone knew already?

Heres my question for you... why are you still friends with those a-holes from highschool?

Not everyone was a loser in high school Nalkin

Everyone at Akyra's school looked like the quarterback of the football team compared to her.

The one high school friend that I keep in touch with told me that my class was planning an reunion back in 09. We both agreed that we had no intention of pretending that we were going, even for a second.

Months later, she told me that the reunion was cancelled due to lack of interest.

The point of your 10-year HS reunion is to hook up with all the girls you went to HS with but snubbed you, married early to a douchebag and are already divorced, and are now cruisin' for some former guy classmates who had 10 years to clean up their act and be the answer to their sexual prayers.

Good plan Yendor!! yaaa

And I completely expect nothing to come out for my 10 year, and if it does, I completely expect it to be cancelled due to lack of interest.

I'm not really friends with any of them. I login facebook maybe once a month. It's weird. I held off for a long time, but finally made my facebook, and it was kinda crazy all the people that I found, or who found me. But most of my highschool class, is friends with everyone else in the class, even though I'm positive most don't ever talk to each other.

I actually put in a fair amount of effort to erase my trail post high school, I to this day have never created a profile on or even browsed a social networking site simply because I don't want un-solicited 'Hey we were buds in HS, let's be friends now!'
The one friend I do have from HS is sworn to secrecy. I hated pretty much every asshole I went to HS with.
had you gone to the crap-tastic high school in central Arizona that I did, you would want that part erased from your past as well. I'm certain.

I had a pretty good time in highschool. Was in the band, and I didn't like a lot of the jocks, but funny how things change after. A lot of the jocks I hated in highschool, ended up being pretty nice people once they shed the omg I can't talk to you because it's uncool. That happened in college, and precisely when they needed help in their 101 intro college science classes. Bitches! lol

I say it because being mean to other people makes me feel better about myself :(

Haven't gotten to my 10 year reunion yet, but about 60% of my class got together at 5 years and took over a bar; I was in another country at the time so I couldn't attend. Most of it was facilitated through Facebook.

My 10-year was a couple years ago. We went to the Homecoming football game then went out and got drunk.

Meh.

There were quite a few people that showed up for my class reunion (~80) When I arrived, "Too Close" by Next was playing. I felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly bolted for the door when I noticed "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden started. Re-living your senior year with people you can't remember (yet they somehow remember you) is bad enough, but having to listen to the top 40 music that played on the radio during your senior year is cruel and unusual punishment.

I had my 5-year reunion the day after this past Thanksgiving. A good deal of people came; maybe like 1/3 or 1/4 of the class. This is a bunch of Facebook-using people in their early 20s; the event was actually organized through Facebook. I was wondering the same thing before the reunion - is there a purpose now that there's so much social networking going on? The basic idea with this argument is if you really cared enough about someone you'd contact them through Facebook or some such thing. This is a valid point, but I dunno, I don't regret going. I might not bother going to my 10-year, but it was alright. Saw a bunch of people I used to hang out with in school, did some catching up - until it got ungodly loud and hard to hear anyone, it wasn't bad.

It's best to go if you have really made something of yourself and can show it off to everyone that was popular back then but now works in some dumpy job. Do you happen to be a young doctor?

[quellren]

...Do you happen to be a young doctor?

I can scarcely believe it took until page 2.

[Tumdumm]

went to my five year whenever that was and it was actually kinda fun.... was expecting nothing and ended up having a good time. if its at a bar can it really be that bad (besides the price)

i like seein which once-hotties ended up haggard

I went to HS in a suburb of the city I now live in, so every weekend it seems I can't go out downtown without running into like 1/2 of my highschool. We still had a 5 year reunion for some reason. Some friends dragged me to it since I was planning on going out anyway. Honestly, it just ends up being a competition to see who has done the best since graduation. If you do have one, just go, get hammer and don't get caught up in that shit. I've done pretty well for myself since high school (being a young doctor and all), but I just got hammered and spent most of the time listening to people try to casually brag about their job at random_corporation_01 or getting accepted to some graduate program at some school no one has ever heard of but apparently is really good at whatever they're studying.
