Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 I've been signed up for this for a while and was the first person for my year at school - since then about 25 of my year have joined - it's very strange seeing all the old names cropping up. I seem to be the only person with a family though - all the others seem to be bragging about their wonderful careers Hannah, 27 Mum to Bethany 7, Lawrence 5 1/2, Verity 3, Alfie 4 months Visit me on the web at :- http://hannahshome.20m.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost the same here, except that my sister is also signed up for our joint primary school, and a friend with whom I am still in close contact suddenly appeared on my 6th form college list.

I loved school but never had many friends and those that I did have, I've kept in touch with. I finished my school years overseas and there I made tons of friends who I would like to hear from. The school has it's own website for messages and alumni and stuff, so I've been able to contact a few people there. Since I've kept in touch with my good friends I just find it hard to find anything in common with those I haven't seen or heard from in years and the only thing we have in common is going to the same school and we didn't really know each other well even then! University friends, for me, are different however!! It's a whole different friendship level!!! Janet (not very good at making friends, so treasure the few that I have).

Nope! I had a small group of good friends and several of us still in touch, even if it is only news that we get because our mothers bump into each other at the supermarket or church. Almost anyone else, I have absolutely no desire to see. There was a 10th class reunion a few years ago and I went with some others of this group of friends and we basically only talked to each other the whole time because here were all these people who didn’t want to know us 10 years ago, suddenly pretending to have been our great pals. I signed up on a similar website in the US and there were about 20 other people out of a high school class of about 250, only one of whom I had *any* desire to see, but we weren’t such close friends that I would pay the yearly subscription to classmates.com (just signing up was free, you had to pay to be able to have access to email addresses, etc).

I had some good friends there and also some sworn enemies. Interestingly, we had a reunion in a pub about 12 years ago (approx 9 yrs after leaving school) and all got on amazingly well. My sworn enemies had turned into really nice people and we all had an absolutely brilliant evening. One of the girls (who had organised it) took everybody's phone numbers in the hopes of a repeat a few years later but nothing came of it.
