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

    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?

    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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    A mixture of both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,547 ✭✭✭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.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Well, I'v only been out of school about 3 years now and most are stuck on the dole if not they are in college and some have completed college and now sign on :( Ireland is full of opportunities though.... lol

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭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.
