should I stay or should I go?

I just got the invitation to my secondary school 10th year reunion. But here's the thing, I hated secondary school and count it as the worst time of my life, I was bullied from the first day I got in there until the day I left and, apart from a few friends I kept from primary school and one or two people I got along with, didn't really like anyone else in there. College was the polar opposite for me, I started off fresh as myself and met loads of new people and have some great friends I still keep in contact with even years later and across several continents.

So really of late I've been thinking that most of my bad experiences from secondary school were of my own making and if I met the same people again after 10 years of maturing things might be better and I could even make a few friends out of it. Anyway it's an AH issue more than PI in my opinion as it's not exactly serious but MODS feel free to move it if you see it differently.

I'd just like to see some other people's opinions or experiences if they have been in the same situation

The people who made your life a misery are probably living crap lives now. Go along, wear your sharpest dress attire and bring along the hottest person you know. Its pretty much a fact that bullys in school dont handle life very well when school is finish, especially girls. I never had problems with people in school but for the one or two less desirable members of my year, they are leading fairly crap lives right now. The bitchier girls in my year are all fat with a load of kids :pac:

Don't go. You'd be surprised how little people change in 10 years.

The important thing is to hire the least skankiest prostitute you can find to go with you

I haven't had one of these invitations come up yet, but one of our teachers in school used to tell us not to go. She said that people will be different, they'll be married, have kids. I imagine it would be a bit awkward, meeting up asking what people are up to now, do you really give a ****?

Don't go - you had to hang around with those turds in secondary school because that was the situation then. Now you would be going on your free time - find something better to do, like, erm, scratch your arse.

I know for a fact I am not going to go to any seconday school reunion of mine in the future....

Only go if you're willing to get pissed as a fart and tell everyone exactly what you think of them.
Alternatively stay outside and key some cars.
You couldn't pay me to re-unite with the **** I went to school with.

Ten years is way to soon for a secondary school reunion

Dont go.

1, most people dont go to these things as people view that as the past and they've movied on.
2, Beyond the fakeness. all you get is people judging, commenting, comparing, slagging other people.
3, Most of all you said you had a bad time in school. Why would you wanna bullsh*t with someone who was a d*ck to you back in the day?

No point in going mate.

I was never bullied in secondary school and got on well with most people but I'd never go to one of those reunions. I've met a few people since leaving school and even people I used to be friends with are just boring adults. You likely have very little in common with these people other than the fact that you were forced to spend x amount of time in the same institution.

Whats the point in meeting up with a bunch of people that you didnt get on with. Head out to the pub with a few mates instead. Will be a much better night:)

The only answer is yes. if that is you can swan in in a sports car with a fine suit on and many an anecdote of foreign galavantry.

Don't go if you're living in a bedsit above a spar eating beans out of a tin with a cocktail stick.
