If you were to go to your school reunion, would there be anyone you would wish to avoid?

Asked by ucme (50047points) February 2nd, 2010

Naming no names of course. Would there be anyone you remember from school that for one reason or another you would rather not speak to?Maybe they’re the nicest of people but you are irritated by them or perhaps an ex.

No. I don’t hold grudges for years.

Nope, don’t think so. I was never bullied or anything, so I didn’t have any negative experiences like that that would prevent me from wanting to talk to someone. Sure there were annoying people, but not enough to want to bitterly avoid them at a reunion. It would be interesting to see if they changed.

No. I got along with everyone. There were a couple who thought they were better than me, but we got along okay & still do. I just kinda ignore them.

No,I can’t think of anyone I’d want to avoid.

Yeah, a dude who would whisper slurs in my ear all through 3rd period English during my junior year. Ignoring him or telling him to knock it off didn’t work, and I wasn’t about to hit him; he was a halfback on the varsity football team. I had no idea what I’d done to get him on my case, but I figured out after a while that I hadn’t had to have done anything, he just didn’t like me.

Fast forward 15 years. His band was 4th on a bill after Sparklehorse at a venue in Brooklyn, and yes, we definitely sneered at each other when spotted. I went out for a smoke for his band’s entire set. The funny bit was when my much younger friend asked me, “What’s in the water in Milwaukee? I want some of that stuff; both you guys look 22!”

Yes. A woman who, when we were children, was the only child my mother was happy to dive me over to visit, because it was closest. But she was a strange child. Probably by being her best friend, I learned patience, and I learned to enjoy odd ducks. But in adulthood, her social unintelligence forced me to ask her not to come and visit me on her summer vacations, even though it was a convenience for her to do so, unless invited, and to let her know that if she was going to be rude to my husband, she wouldn’t be invited; she hasn’t forgiven me; she lives where all the people are that we both grew up with, and sees them from time to time; I know she doesn’t have the tact to stop herself from attacking me verbally at a reunion. So I don’t go.

Everyone. I would never go to a reunion. I had an awful experience during high school and do not stay in touch with anyone.

My nymphomaniac freshman year roommate who had sex in the top bunk with a different guy every week while I was trying to sleep in the bottom bunk.

@Scooby You’d think age & experience would mature a person, but a lot of times, it doesn’t.

Adagio's avatar

No, but I would be pleased to let everyone see that I have become a thoroughly normal person who no longer disrupts the class although some of my old teachers may struggle to believe that.

Seek's avatar

Yep.

All of them.

I hated high school. Gods, what a hellish experience.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I would avoid the people that used to be (or maybe still are) bullies.

Sophief's avatar

Yes, everyone, so I wouldn’t go.

There was a group of girls at Secondary (High) school that made my life hell for about two years (before they got bored and moved onto the next easy target). I doubt they would get away with being the bitches that they were back then and even if they were I wouldn’t be afraid of them anymore as I have mastered the art of “rolling my eyes and walking away!” but I still wouldn’t want the awkwardness and bad memories of facing these girls.

@jbfletcherfan

It would seem so from what I’ve read, some people just never learn I guess or grow up! more to the point.. :-/
One of the highlights of my life was getting out of school, I feel I learnt much more in the first few years of leaving than I did in my entire time there, you couldn’t drag me back with wild horses!! ;-) Lol…
