Odd one isn't it ?
I mean in your head everyone you knew is 16 or whatever age they were when you last met.
What would you gain with re-visiting that period of your life ?
You might have a class full of 'Saints and Sinners !"
People who [i]these days[/i] would consider themselves [i]holier than thou.[/i]
But you'd still remember them as 'The bike'; 'The bully' and The 'idiot' and 'The jock'. And how each affected your personal growth at a time when you needed more 'friends' than 'enemies'.
I've only ever heard of one re-union for my lot. I couldn't go because i was working that night.
I did hear from my Cousin who did attend that only a few turned up. And those who did didn't really interact with each other while at school so there were lots of uncomfortable silences in conversations. And most of [i]them[/i] were bitching about certain Teachers.
You spent five years with these people. Odd how you can rarely say the same for anybody else in your life today. And sad that even though you were thrown together at probably the most vulnerable period in your life, nothing on earth would want to make you seek out their company today.

@Picklebobble2 I wouldn't mind if those reunions were like "walking down the memory lane" rather than bragging and parading about themselves, their spouses, their kids etc. We all have some good and bad stuff in our lives, just keep that away and have fun just like the good old days 🤷🏻♀️
