Our stories sound so similar, except for I grew up in a tiny town in Georgia. I am not kidding you, it was so small that we had one flashing light and the elementary school I went to went from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I went to one of the two high schools in my county (Cherokee High) and felt like you. I left there when I graduated and never moved back. I did, however, go to my 20th reunion 4 years ago, and it was amazing the way seeing some of those people made me feel like I was in high school again. Very insecure, and not part of the crowd. I was so mad at myself for for allowing those circumstances to make me feel that way. I am very happy with who I am, where I am, and confident that I am fulfilling my purpose in life. No one said or did anything to make me feel that way, but I realized that I never did really deal with how high school affected me. Like my husband says all the time when he doesn't want to go some place: "Why would I want to go there, I didn't lose anything there!" I have wonderful friends now, a wonderful family that I love dearly, and don't miss one thing about high school! You are so smart to rsvp no.

A) Because they are in California and flying there to see people who were so self-centered is not worth it to me and b) really, do I have to go to those things to catch up with people who didn't care to keep in touch with me. I am with you. I will stay very far away from that weirdness. ;) I’ve never gone to high school reunions.

Including the small town in Alabama (Walker County!), the not keeping in touch with mates, seeing how different my life is now and saying NO to going this year. My town was def not Mountain Brook (Courtney Cox school) That was for rich folks. I was the poorest amongst the poor and that was pretty bad, but to be a band geek, book reading nerd was like a sin! I can honestly say, I don't miss the school days, nor the people who went there. So don't you fret about not wanting to go either! I could have written this post word for word.

I have heard that 20 is way better too. I'm not sure that I will feel the need to go. The people that I like I still keep in touch with. As for the rest, there's probably a reason that I don't.

I skipped the 10th and I don't think they had a 15th. As we creep up on the 20th (how in the world did that happen?!) I'm pretty sure I'll skip that one too.

Since I live in the same town and have a business here, I feel obligated. I wonder why that is? I mean, most of the people I really want to see I've kept in touch with, or they've ferreted me out already... I’m going to mine…it’s this summer.

In a class of almost 700, I heard that very few people turned out (glad we didn't waste the money). I don't know if I will go to my 20th. I went with my husband to his a few years back, and it was L-A-M-E. Everyone stood around talking about their kids.
