I don't have a dog in this fight, as I moved away from my small town and never looked back. But it is interesting to hear from those people who have attended their high school reunions.

Have people changed? If so, have they changed for the better? What's your high school crush up to? What careers do people have? These are things that people share from what would typically be a cringeworthy event.

Thanks to AskReddit, we've collected some of the most intriguing experiences from those folks brave enough to hit up their reunion. Kudos to them for having the guts to not only go, but then share what they experienced on the internet. For that we thank you.

The school gang of bad boys were: 2 dead - one car crash/ one drug overdose, 1 committed suicide, one worked is a tech store, one worked 2 jobs because he was paid child support to 3 women (remember, kids, condoms are a good thing), one actually turned his life around and got a bachelor's degree in English and was a middle school English teacher and the last one was working for his dad because he got kicked out of uni. -Kaiser93

My band got asked to play "some '90s class reunion" by a venue. We took the gig. As we're setting up I thought "Hey, I know her... And him... And her... And them." It was my f*ckin' class reunion and I wasn't invited. -Gonzostewie

My 10 year reunion was held at a bar. It was all the same people at the bar as it was every weekend, but this time they were wearing nicer clothes. -survivalguyledeuce

That my friend was still alive and he was equally surprised that I was. We got into drugs together right after HS, we ended up being so messed up that one night we robbed each other (he sold me a bag of actual grass and I gave him a dollar instead of a 20 and we both ran in opposite directions and never spoke again. The friendship ended, no one even confronted the other.

10 years later at my HS reunion, I see him sitting in the corner, we were both sober and looking great. I walk over to him and first thing he says to me was "OMG I THOUGHT YOU'D BE DEAD" and I said the same thing back to him... we talked the rest of the night, and he didn't even remember why we stopped talking in the first place, just that we were both in a very dark place when we parted ways lol. Anyway we both felt it best we leave the friendship there and did not exchange numbers or anything but I'm glad he's alive. -poo_smudge

At some point of our 10y reunion I asked the girl I had a crush on back in 7/8th grade if she knew that I had a crush on her. I just thought it was fun talking about that as adults. Turns out she texted me several times the next days, we met again and now, almost 6yrs later we're engaged (for 2yrs... but didn't marry yet ;)) we have a house, a child, second child on the way and everything is great. Not what I expected back then. -juleztb

The athletes (boys and girls) are now anything but athletes, overweight and frumpy. -whomp1970

One guy from my class became a male stripper. They sat him at a table with nine female classmates. -GreatWhiteNorthExtra

The nerdy D&D kid now owns and operates an outdoor shooting range and is one of the largest ammunition suppliers in the area. -PM_Me_UrRightNipple

The girl who got pregnant at 16, who you were sure was destined for a life of struggle, ended up landing a great career and retiring early. And her kids turned out to be great people who any parent would be proud of. -whomp1970

Back in high school, there was one girl who was extremely popular, extremely pretty, and seemed totally unapproachable from my vantage point. She was also really catty, embodying a lot of the “Mean Girl” stereotypes.

Talking with her at the reunion, it turned out that she was very insecure, and had a very tenuous home life for which she was compensating and now she is extremely kind, full of gratitude, and just really down to earth. I love seeing that sort of change in people! -Hetvenfour

At the ten-year, One guy who had been a kind of nerd and on the bowling team was now part of a "wacky morning DJ" crew on one of the more popular radio stations in New York City, and came in with big hair and dressed like a rock star. -brock_lee

The last I ever heard of my high school reunion was in an alumni newsletter. I was listed as “missing” with a request for anyone who knew how to contact me to contact the alumni organization. The newsletter was sent to my house. I’m trying not to take it personally… -Someoneoverthere42

The massive stoner from the year below me who used to get suspended on a monthly basis was the head of the English department. -lagoon83

It was disturbing that 17 classmates had died by our 10th reunion. -Back2Bach

My wife and I hosted our 10 years in 2014. We arranged everything via Facebook figuring it was the easiest way to reach people. We left the group open so people could add people who had been married and weren't easily searchable due to changing their names. Well, this person added themself and started making trouble about everything - they literally had a complaint about every aspect of what my wife and I were planning.

The issue was nobody had ever heard of this person. We looked in our yearbook and they weren't in it. We were getting messages from dozens of people about their behavior in the group and who this person even was. So my wife asked. Apparently, they got kicked out of their high school final semester of their senior year and came to our school for three months.

When the reunion came around they were the first to show up, sat quietly in a corner and left early. I still have no idea who this person is. -Speechisanexperiment
