What are your old school mates like today-more or less mature?

Wanderer2010

Did you ever happen to bump into people you used to go to school with, say between 13 and 18, and what kind of people are they now? I used to go to school with a lad who was a real a%%hole, gave me a very hard time, lots of immature name calling etc, now he is 30 and settled with a kid and a good job. Bumped into him the other day and hes a different person completely, real pleasant and mature! Then I saw another guy who was also an idiot out in a pub last year, still seems to be the exact same, real loud and obnoxious. Have you ever met up with or noticed changes in people later on in life?

Sir Osis of Liver.

Dont know,most emigrated,went to jail or became alcoholics.

Great bunch of lads.

The Backwards Man

One of them is now a TD.

wesf

Cee-Jay-Cee

I am the only one of the group of friends I associated with that hasnt got a criminal record, is a dope head/alcoholic or is dead. I am also the only one of them to have a job. Basically I used to hang around with scumbags.

One lad who I went to school and myself used to thump the heads off each other every time we even looked at each other. We never got on at all. Met him about 2 years after we finished and we called it quits and now we actually get on very well whenever we meet each other

Ace Attorney

Not really sure, my group at the moment have either emigrated or still finding their feet and most have moved the fcuk outta my town so never really see any of the old schoolmates

Are you really asking were the people in my class at age 13-18 less mature now than they were back then?????
Im in my 50s.

kneemos

Seems to be an awful lot of junkies and cons about.

We had our secondary school ten year reunion there a while ago, most of us are now teachers or landscape gardeners, good few have gotten stuck into having kids, one lad is dead.

starlit

A mixture of both.

Fiery mutant

Most of the guy's I hung around with in school are now d1ckheads.

Come to think of it, most were d1ckheads back then too.

It's funny one of the lads was kicked out of my class and started working in mechanical garage straight after. He's doing better than any of us and he was kicked out lol

DaveDaRave

Wrong on all counts still date attractive foreign women (very easy to meet them in my line of work) but this is a
Meaningless personal attack on someone you don't know, really pathetic.

Saying someone is broke living with Mammy etc could be construed that way.

If it wasn't my bad I can take things the wrong way and be a bit abrasive; it's very late and I've had a few also.

Similar response;

many of the more serious types from school have gone on and followed the usual formula; Uni degree, followed by a few years of internships and working their way up in a career with the big tech/marketing/finance companies.

Others are (as predicted) still work-shy, can be found wandering around the hometown aimlessly, drinking their dole money.

Whatever about big personality changes - you can more or less tell from 2nd level which general path they're going to take.

That said, there are a few dark horses. One guy in particular, not a peep from him through 5 years of school, not out-going at all - turning down a lot of opportunities to socialize and stayed nearly invisible for his time there,

is now extremely charismatic and doing well for himself in a PR role.

He's just lulling you into a false sense of security, then one day when your guard's down you'll get the mother of all wedgies while his mates film it on their camera phones. I recommend that next time you see him get him in a headlock.

Actually, if typing in caps represents shouting, then maybe writing in bold could represent drunk posting. It would be good if that caught on.

You're talking about yourself, aren't you?:P

I haven't met anyone from school since I left school. Didn't socialise in the town I went to school in and so haven't kept in contact with anyone.

I find my friends are pretty much in 3 categorys,
have matured at the same level as me from school, as in we have our lifes but we see each regularly for soccer when we go out.
Then we have the guys who got girl friends and well Id say one was my best friend, but I hardly see the lad or text/talk to him.
Then the other group who want to be more advanced in life and all they want is a girlfriend/wife/kids and think that will make them happy, but these guys Id still be in touch with often enough unlike the second group.

Regarding people I knew in school well most of them matured and Id talk to them but I wouldnt really have anything to do with them outside of chit chat.
And well some are still complete tools, who still live life as if they are in third year or think they are God regarding rugby/gaa abilities of past/present
