Completely understandable. And I'm glad you brought it up. I've spoken with a lot of our classmates and it seems to be the same feeling.
I always have to remind myself that not everyone will want to be found. And not everyone will want to attend the reunions. I understand and respect that.
For me, it was real hard to attend the 10 year reunion. I had my guard up big time. I knew there were some people going to be there who called me names in school. But I also knew there were people going to be there who I liked and had not seen since we graduated.
It was hard to find that middle ground. I heard comments about me and detected the same attitudes I experienced in HS. But I ignored them and didn't let them ruin my evening.
With that said, I appreciate you stating your concerns here. High School wasn't the best years for many of us. And deep down, there may be some resentment and hurt still there from things that occured during those years.
The one thing that I appreciated being said during the 10 year reunion was by Crystal's husband. He said, "...give this room another five years and you'll see an entirely different attitude. Right now, everyone is showing off what they've done and where they are. In a few more years, it will more about their kids and less about them."
