No matter how your high school experience panned out, there are still so many reasons why high school reunions are simply illogical. If you had a tough time with bullies in school, but have finally found your tribe and feel comfortable in your own skin, why go back to that toxic environment and try to impress the people who hurt you?
If there are people you genuinely want to reconnect with, instead of meeting at an event in your hometown, why not just swing them a DM asking to catch up over coffee?
Why dress up and attend an awkward high school reunion when you can just curl up in your pyjamas with a bottle of wine and stalk everyone online for an hour or two? Words - Lauren Payne.

This may be controversial. I think that this made it so that I never really knew where I fit in clique-wise because I never fully focused only on relationships from my high school.
Not many people can say that, but our moms were both pregnant at the same time and we were next-door neighbors. My husband went to high school in Michigan so we decided that it would be more fun to go with a friend and less awkward for him to not know many people there.
You have to decide if you want to bring that special someone with you and whether that person might feel ignored all night or not. Facebook knowledge made it easier for conversations as a point of reference because I had a general idea of what they had been up to or if they had kids.
Our reunion had a tour set up which gave the opportunity to reconnect with a few people ahead of time and also realize that all memories of high school really were not that bad.
I also discovered and confirmed that I definitely peaked after high school based on the reactions that I received about how I looked.
So why would a high school reunion change that? Do you remember this teen in your class that would ask everyone what grade they received in that assignment you all had and would proceed to tell you how much better he did?
Yeah, that rarely goes away. These events might turn into a competition when people will start to talk and compare careers, salaries, marriage, or even their children. They will turn the tiniest thing into a competition which can be tiring. On top of that, there is the danger of matchmakers that will have you wishing to be somewhere different.
You will also might have to listen to your old classmates comparing successful marriages and perfect children all night. High school reunions can be awesome or a disaster. Think long and deep before you decide if you want to go. Surely there are many reasons to go but going and regretting it the first five minutes is not ideal.
