High School Classmates Knowledge Base
Is it average to miss your old high school classmates? It's been nearly a year since I graduated, and I miss my old friends. But the people I miss the most are the casual acquaintances, who I saw everyday from elementary to high school. Does anyone else miss high school.
Is it a good idea to ask high school classmates about business connections? I have been searching for jobs out of college with little, if any success. I thought about asking someone I knew in high school if they had any information about job openings because those are the people who knew me best (I did not establish any personal relationships when I was in college) and therefore, would be willing to help me.
How do you feel? about these high school classmates re-connections? Outside of a handful of friends and maybe a girl or two (not really, cause I'm married) I don't get very excited about connecting with my old high school classmates. After sharing where we've been, profession, marriage, etc, what else does one talk about? Aren't they back to being strangers? It leaves me cold, am I unique? There has been so many stories and movies that I feel strange that now with the internet its so easy to connect with them, that I have little interest.
Is it mentally healthy to obess over your high school classmates? I graduated 6 years ago!? For some reason, I cannot get over high school. I was a shy person from 9th to 11th Grade. Then, in 12th grade I broke out of my shell and made a lot of friends. But, after graduation hardly any of friends talked to me anymore. I signed up a myspace page last year, got in touch with an old friend, hung out and than never talked to me. Also, I tried to add one person to my friends list and she never replied. I know they moved on and I am stuck in the past. Why should I care?? Do you think I have a problem? Serious answers only!

Should Cho's high school classmates/bulliers feel guilty? Article: "Virginia gunman Cho Seumg-Hui had endured years of bullying at school as a teenager, said former classmates of the man who carried out the massacre of 32 people before killing himself. The classmates said Thursday that Cho had a difficult time in school. He was pushed around and laughed at over his shyness and the strange way he talked, they said. One fellow high school graduate said Cho almost never opened his mouth and would ignore attempts to strike up a conversation. Once in English class, students laughed at Cho as he read, telling him to “Go back to China.” Another graduate said friends of hers who went to middle school with Cho recalled he was picked on. She said the friends told her that people were really mean to Cho, pushing him down and laughing at him." http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/World/2007/04/19/4068653.html I don't think bullying is the reason he snapped, but it caused Cho to detach more fr society and internalize anger/pain/hate to the point of insanity. This is not a defense for Cho's actions at all. Ultimately Cho pulled the trigger. Everyone's been bullied, but some people are to an extreme where they're grinded everyday to the point of suicide or murder. Most of us haven't experienced it to that degree. Maybe Cho was bullied to an extreme? Like Dr. Phil and Dr. Chopra have stated, we as a community have to figure out how we can help prevent people getting to the point of insanity where it may end up as suicide or mass murderer. What can we (as a whole) do to prevent the next Columbine or VT?
How to resolve a dilemma about old high school classmates? Ive been using facebook and classmates to reconnect with high school classmates from 1976-78. Ive found only a handful so far as it was a small town school where everyone left after graduation. Ive been looking in particular for one woman who was a good friend but all I have is a phone number in texas which may or may not still be valid and believe it or not the facebook page of who Im fairly sure is her ex husband. I really do not want to call the number out of privacy concerns( after 30+ years she may not even remember me) but am debating whether or not to contact the ex just to see if im on the right track. Ideas anyone? The tn is shown publically in several online white pages but with several variations of her name so I dont know how old it is. Plus when I tried calling att information i got a recored message..apparently its now a non-pub number.
Moms (or dads) if you had to face your high school classmates right now? Would you feel ashamed or proud of the way you look? I would feel awful, personally, because the weight I've gained since school. I've had 27 months out of 60 being pregnant, so I have some stubborn weight and 3 kids to chase while trying to lose it. I was just wondering how other parents would feel if they had to go see their old high school classmates dressed as you usually are. Wow, it's refreshing to see so many people who would be/are proud of themselves. I wish I could be. I know I'm a nice person, but my looks have gone downhill. Plus I'm still pretty young (21) and feel like I let myself go. Anyway, great answers so far.
What should I play on the piano for a high school performance? I've played piano for a little over 10 years now. I play mainly classical music but I'm getting into more contemporary stuff. I'm playing for a high school assembly when school starts back up again and I hope to WOW some of my classmates but they don't seem to be too interested in classical stuff. So what's something contemporary or something difficult that my high school classmates will enjoy and be impressed by?
Is it normal to lose touch with most of your high school? It has been three years since high school but I feel like I have lost touch with the majority of my classmates. Sure, I can see what their lives are like on facebook but I feel like I do not know the majority of my former high school classmates anymore. As of now, I have only kept in touch with 8 people from high school. Is this normal?
How can I feel like I belong at my high school with my new classmates? Ok I'm a freshmen in high school. At my junior high i had good friends and i could be myself. Why now do i suddenly quiet down and become shy and dont be my loud self? Can someone give me ideas on how to make me become my loud and energetic self? Maybe conversation starters and ice breakers?? Thanks!
Question about my former classmates who were popular in high school? Why is it that the majority of my former classmates who were popular in high school still act like a bunch of high schoolers and they're still out there partying and making the other types of people feel inferior to them? I've graduated from high school back in the late 1990s

What is an appropriate gift for a high school classmate that invited me to her wedding? We graduated together in high school, and were fairly close friends since we competed in all the same activites and sports. We attend the same college now, but really only speak to each other if we happend to run into one another on campus. There was no registry in the invitation I received for her wedding, so I'm not sure what I could get her, but I know I want to get her something! What do you think would be appropriate?
High School classmate abusing his bank job to get my information? A kid I know from high school and I got into a fight senior year. I'm not a sophomore in college and found out he got a job at the bank I use. He messaged me on facebook the other day and said he is looking up all my information right now...I never told him to. I believe he might sell my social security number or do something bad with it. How should I get him arrested?
I want to block old high school classmates or limit their access to my profile on facebook. Is that ok to do? I went to my first high school reunion after a couple of decades of avoiding them. I hated high school and didn't have one friend. They acted like a bunch of rednecks with their small town mentality at the reunion. I was appalled at their behavior. I couldn't believe that they wanted to befriend me on facebook after that debacle. Are they that clueless. Any hoo that left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I want to now block some of them, but not all of them. I can discern who is pretty decent. I just don't want them polluting my life any longer and want to set some boundaries.
Should I contact high school classmates 20 years later if I was an A-hole then? I was such an A-hole in high school that right now, I would have kicked my own ass. But, I see a lot of them on facebook.com and I would like to say "Hey, what's up?" Should I even bother? Even the guy that thinks I set fire to his locker I would like to converse with. Even the guy that thinks I allegedly sold him an oregano joint, I would like to say "hi" to. I'm not that much of a dick any more. What do you think?
Didnt get invited to several high school classmates weddings...? why should i worrry about it? why do i care so much about it, its not like i really hung out with them alot, but i did hang out with them like way back in 6th, 8th grade and not as much as high school. Why didnt they invited me? im a good guy, etc. i dont think i ever bothered them. i come from a very small high school. my help is i dont want to worry about it so much but i do. its strange though i go to someones wedding and year ago there like yea you can come to my wedding, but never sent out an invitation. thats strange. i mean maybe i couldve came, but it just wouldve seemed weird. maybe he didnt have money to afford tons of invitations so he just started sending messages on facebook saying hey come to my wedding, etc. but i didnt go.
Loner to Rebellion: Are my high school classmates scared of me? I was once a geeky kid freshmen year. Everybody used to pick on me all the time and I hated it but just went with it. Over time though I started to fight back and getr real mean when someone thought I was a little punk. Then this year, the beginning of the year, they thought they could start off and make fun of me like they have in past years. (senior class, we are the first class at my school) I isolated myself from all of my so called friends and everytime they trieed to say hi i would just give them a mean stare and lash out if they did say anything. My "friend" alex said it was not that they hated me they just were playing around. I did not think so. My confidence grew and now I do not know who I am becoming. I have defended myself from the bullies, I drink, steal, it is starting to scare me. I wear better clothes and am a lot more confident but my life has gotten out of wack!!! My grades dropped significantly even though I am more confident and have really high self-esteem. Nobody at my school talks to me, and when they do they seem to be a little frightened..as if they dont want to say the wrong thing. I finally got respect but at what price? You know how i am feeling? I am seventeen, male, african american, senior year...
some of my high school classmates on face book, one of 'em blocked me from myspace now. emailed her on face? book a few months ago i emailed her she responded, Email her some other time she responded, she was on my myspace 2 yrs ago, but for some reason she blocked me from her myspace and never accepted my facebook invite and then deleted her account (i think) then today i was chatting to some classmate on facebook, I said "hi" she said "I don't really like chatting though" i asked her why, she said she doesn't know she just doesn't. I said "thats ok" i had to run my dishwasher so I said "brb" then she said "good bye" i said "don't u like to talk to anyone?" she then said "just leave me alone... I'm starting to see why Krista might be ignoring you... no offense, but you are coming off a little strong for someone I barely know!" Anyways I want to sell my snes and ps1, so i email one of my classmates of she would like it for her kids, she told me she would buy from me she asked me how much is my snes i told her the amount she stopped emailing me at the 4th of July weekend. No response of she'd buy my snes or not. Am I coming off too strong? i don't think I am, or do other people get the wrong impression?
One of my old High School Classmates crashed a Cessna Airplane into Lake Erie this past Labor Day? What to make of this? Here's the story: http://www.9and10news.com/category/story/?id=121577 People from around there are a bit smug, content with thinking they've 'got it made', until something like this happens. Jeff was no exception, but he still had a few minutes of his time, now and then, to let me get a word in edgewise, whenever I came back to town.. I don't live around there now, but I will say, Ohio isn't that travel friendly a state, especially if you have to ride Greyhound buses, and local businessmen (like Jeff) vote to put the bus station outside of town, because they don't want "rifraff" hanging around. They themselves don't know how that feels, because they stick around in one place the whole time counting their beans to where they think everyone can fly around in their own airplanes, or drive their own cars thinking anyone who can't are just bums. My thoughts anyway, but Jeff was one of the nicer ones around there, and did what he could. What is left?
