How much have you changed since you graduated from high school?

Question

Physical and personality changes

Answer 1

I graduated in 2002 and in some ways, I've changed a lot, and in other ways, not so much.

I think I've changed for the better. I've calmed down and grown into my skin; I'm more sure about my beliefs and my approach to the world. I don't get as moody regarding things such as friends or my boyfriend or fights with my parents. I've learned to really appreciate my parents for their hard work, their lessons are always being revealed to me which I never took notice of before. (I used to get into HUGE fights with my parents, where things were broken or I stormed out of the house in a rage.)

Another nice thing is lack of pressure. The group at school really was putting pressure on you to like certain things, to pay attention to certain aspects of pop culture, etc. In university, it's a lot more free. Don't have to TRY so hard to impress.
It's really relieving.

In a bad way, it's tough to know you're growing up and your carefree days are over. It's stressful to realize you have to make your own place in the world and make it good or you might not survive or be able to raise a family the way you would like to. It's also harder to ignore the sad parts of life, like war and economic pressures.

Looks-wise, I'm almost the same! Better hair now, better glasses, less nerdy, bigger chest, but still the same old me. Maybe with five extra pounds. haha.

Answer 4

I've changed alot since high school 12 years ago. I've grown spiritually, personally, and ethically. I am no where close to the person I was. I'm glad for that.

Answer 5

A lot! I'm actually heavier now =( but as far as personality...I am soooo much more out-going. I was so shy in school. I had friends, but other than them, I wouldn't really talk to anyone and I was sooo self-conscious and just terrified of making a mistake or tripping in the hall or saying something stupid. Now I can just laugh when I do something silly or stupid and I'm not afraid to talk to most people...so much happier now!

Answer 6

Lots, I am about to go to my HS reunion in 14 days. My 10 year.

_I had blonde hari down to my butt, now it is short and brown.

_ I was 20lbs heavier

__I was always too scared to talk to anyone and had no friends and would turn red if you talked to me. Now I give presentations to multi million $ companies and for 4 years had my own radio show.

--I always had to buy my clothes on sale, now I don't mind paying full price,

--I never wore make up, waxed my eye brows anything, and every 2 wks I am in the salon...

-- I never stood up for myself and I let people make fun of me, now I get asked for my number every weekend!!!!

This reunion will be a big eye opener.
