School Reunions

Re: School Reunions

I always feel that it was my primary school that made me and the secondary school destroyed me.That secondary school was the worse time of my life,and the people around me then I can't find words to describe.The teachers were just as bad,if not worse as they stood by and let things happen,one even encouraged it.I have been invited to several such get togethers but as I live in the area where I grew up,and still know some of these people I went to school with I can honestly say it would be a big bad mistake.5 years of pure hell,sorry I would rather punch their lamps out before I shake their hands.Some say time is a healer,it can also make people bitter if they have suffered through the experiance.Secondary school only lasts about 5 years but the problems these places can cause can haunt a person for the rest of their lives.Out of interest I have now turned down three such invitations and would only turn up if the school was to be burnt down there and then.

im sorry u had such a horrible time mate.

but i suffered both in secondary school and and at college.

why not just give it a try even for half an hour and if it goes bad then never go to another reunion.

but give it a chance you may end up wondering how things would have went og u had gone.

regarding these people are they still as nasty as they where in school.
if they are then i understand why u would not go to a reunion.

Re: School Reunions

One thing I learnt long ago is that a leopard cannot change it's spots,just its tactics.I would not even give them the chance of laughing at what they done to me,let alone to my face.What I can say is that they totally destroyed my education,destroyed any chance of getting good exam marks,destroyed any chances of a decent career,and the results of which are still impacting my life today.That does not include the mental health problems which started through this bullying and I still have problems with to this day,and still find it very diffacult being surrounded by people especially in a closed room enviroment.The last people I want to associate with are those that done everything in their power to do all this.They did not give a dam then,and if I am unfortunate to meet up with one of these people in town they still don't give a dam now,they still talk the same talk,still as snide as they were then,and even still talk down to you in a patronising childish way some 30 years after I left that dump,and they always bring up something they done and expect you to laugh along with it.
I doubt if any of them would have the balls to even appologise let alone tell me why it happened,but I can certainly say it would be a good laugh for them over a pint remembering what happened.As I said,a leopard cannot change its spots,just it's tactics.Why give them more fuel to throw on the fire.
