School Reunions
         What's your opinion on high school reunions? Have you gone to any? Why (or why not)?          

Here in the UK school reunions aren't as common as they are in the US. However, they do occur. I have to say that I wouldn't go to one because I didn't enjoy my time at school. I had very few friends during the whole of my senior school and I was very much a loner. I was bullied and I wouldn't want to face those people again, not because I'm scared now, just because I don't see the point.

I would like someone to tell me why they have school reunions, is it to get together with people they once knew or is it to show off as to where you are now. Are those who struggled now trying to outdo those who were the popular kids? Why do we feel the need to do that, why can't we just leave school behind us and get on with life.

I am concerned that if children at school are so traumatised by school that they feel the need to keep returning to see the same people, just to see if they've outdone them yet, then surely there is a serious problem in our schools. Surely, school should just be a part of our life from which we can move forward with good memories. If this were to be the case then there should be no point in keep returning to reunions unless it's to remember good friends, then wouldn't we just keep in touch with them, either in person, on Facebook or other Social Media sites that are now available.

I haven't ever gone to a reunion and I don't plan on going to any if they happen to come my way.
