Do people get better after high school?

Question

My 10 year is coming up next year. ugg, anyway I did not keep in touch with most people because I was over the drama. Do people change or have you found people are the same at the 10 year reunion?

Answer 1

No,
most people do not change...or if they do, they will revert back to their clicks and act just as they did in school while attending the reunion. I went to my 20 year and everything was the same.

Keep in touch with the one's you want to and let the rest go on their way.

Answer 2

You've probably changed in the last ten years...most people do. The thing I liked about my 10 year reunion was just seeing people I don't think about on a day to day basis but have fond memories of. The high school BS and drama is over now, and it may be fun. I enjoyed mine and I hated high school for the most part.

Answer 3

Yes and No and I know you would think that maturity, character and responsibility would sink in after all that was done in High School..I strongly believe that some do..and those who don't are stuck on stupid or as a favorite comedian of mine says and has a book on this "You cannot fix stupid". I had my share of reunions throughout the years..and it is hysterical what one bumps into see or hear. I can safely say my friends then and now have change and it is all good! Have fun at yours!

Answer 4

Some do, some don't....Depends what has happened to them since then. Sometimes life "helps" them grow up. Sometimes 10 years isn't too long and they have the same mentality. I have heard that going to the 20 yr. reunion is more fun and laid back. People aren't so competitive and worried about what others think.

Answer 5

I'm 37 and still have not attended a reunion. I did bump into some folks from high school several yrs. back and it was fun to see that the stuck up little preppies were all strung out on drugs. Little goodie 2 shoes are just as messed up as the rest of the world. I enjoy hearing the stories of who has married who. What a trip!Funny what life outside of school does to you.

Answer 6

Everyone has changed. It's been about 7 after my grad and I know most ppl from HS are either engaged or married and have kids. Also it's not the people I would have expected to settle down.

Yes, people do a lot of growing up after high school.

Answer 7

By all means, go to your reunion. You'll be surprised, mostly pleasantly, by all the changes. Former enemies are pleasantly chatting. Girls that were considered dogs or skanks evolved into raving beauties. Many people you won't recognize until you look at their picture name tag. They are pretty much NOT the same people that they were in high school, even the socie/preppy crowd, who usually turn into nice, humble people. Everybody grows up, and evolves. It's a lifelong process.

Answer 8

Sadly,I have found that people rarely change much after they turn 10. My reunion was like going back to class again.The ones you got along with then will be the ones you get along with now. The cliques never die!

Answer 9

Deeply happy, I am a very shy person but from what one friend told me I didnt"t miss anything by not going to my Tenth or twenteth reunion ! Most had changed but a few did not.

Answer 10

I've been to all my high school reunions so I'm speaking from experience. People definitely get nicer. You'll find people who had nothing to do with you in school eagerly talk about their kids or their jobs. And no one wants to bring up the baggage from the past. (I even hooked up with a classmate that I barely knew back then, and we ended up getting married!).
