The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users
One of my neighbors growing up was that super motivated Type A do everything types. Co-valedictorian, captain of the hockey team, gifted musician...just always working.

10 year reunion, went just how we all expected. Full ride to Yale, Harvard MBA, six figure Wall Street job, gorgeous fiance...and he seemed utterly miserable.

10 years later, 20th reunion. He got sick of it all, quit his job, sold his house, got divorced, and got out of town. He now owns a pig farm in Upstate New York, spends his days working the farm, brewing beer, and hiking in the forest...and I've never met a happier, more satisfied person in my life.

I love this and wish I was brave enough to leave my job that gives me zero satisfaction to take a job that I would feel fulfilled in. But unfortunately due to mortgage and other monetary commitments I'm tied to it for the foreseeable future 🙁

"I stay in touch with some students—social media has made this a lot easier—and there are a few I meet with in person, either to touch base as a mentor or just to catch up," Professor McLendon, from the University of Kansas, shared with Bored Panda.

"A few have gone into teaching, either full-time or part-time, which is always nice to see," she told us that some of her students have followed in her footsteps.

This kid that everyone made a scapegoat in high school is LOADED.
He was the kid that certain groups would pretend to be friends with and then do something horrible to him as a "joke" like depantsing him in front of the whole lunch room or teasing him about his small d**k till he cried (not sure if he actually had one or not just high school a**holes being a**holes)

Turns out that he won some sort of contest/scholarship thing for this space engineering idea and ended up going to school in California for free. I guess he worked super hard and was able to graduate a year early and now is just like rich as f**k working for some sort of space engineering thing that works closely with NASA.

It was funny listening to all the people who use to make fun of him just listen to his life story with their mouths hanging wide open. He has no debt, owns a beautiful home in California and another "cabin" home in our home state (MN), drives beautiful cars, hangs out with beautiful people. All at the ripe age of 24. You could practically smell the jealousy. Plus he brought his smoking hot gf.

It made me so happy for him :)

Bored Panda wanted to get the professor's opinion on what educators can do to encourage their students to aim for the stars, and how to pick up their spirits if they haven't (yet) achieved what they set out to after graduation.

According to Professor McLendon, there are two parts to inspiring students to aim high. "One, give them a solid foundation to build their skills and knowledge on, so they’ll be able to succeed at whatever they choose to pursue," she said.

"Two, give them support and encouragement—and the benefit of your own network, if possible—to help them get where they want to be," she explained what educators can do.

I've seen this quite often. I see parents leaving the sibling doing well to do their thing without much support and focus on the problematic child. As a result, these kids lose steam and motivation. Why bother if mom and dad isn't acknowledging it? Some spiral out of control for some attention. It's pretty sad really, but it's pretty common. The question is whether these parents catch it in time.

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users I used to pass notes to a guy in Algebra class... mostly song lyrics. I'd write a line pass it to him, he'd write a line, back and forth. He was a quiet kid and friends with some other friends of mine who were big into BMX bikes and skateboards. I took a bunch of photos of these guys for my photography class. At graduation, he said he was heading to California to ride BMX. He never came to a reunion... he was too busy playing rhythm guitar in Guns N Roses as Izzy Stradlin.

A lot of rock stars seem to have been the quiet, nerdy, skater/BMX types when they were kids. I remember hearing how excited Corey Taylor was to provide his roars for Doctor Who, I read an interview with Robb Flynn who apparently had blueprints for the Death Star and vehicles from Star Wars, and obviously The Offspring and blink-182 were two of many skater punk groups to become hugely successful bands.

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users One girl who sat next to me in English class in junior and senior year. Thick coke bottle glasses, a bird's nest of thick curly hair. She was always very nice and very smart, but super quiet and introverted.

I was an extroverted, outgoing jacka** so I used to ask her to read parts when we studied Shakespeare, invited her into my group for group projects and made her take speaking roles, that kind of thing. She was never really comfortable talking about herself and we never hung out outside of class, so I left school not knowing much about her except that she was smart, quick to grin at a joke, and had strong feelings about "The Crucible".

Ten years later, this gorgeous woman shows up at our reunion. Smoking hot redhead, sparkling blue eyes, stacked hourglass figure. That goofy teenage grin had turned into a confident, knowing smile. She knew how to dress and make herself up to emphasize her assets and minimize her flaws. She was jaw-droppingly stunning.

We talked for a good hour. She was just a late bloomer. I apologized for always volunteering her for public speaking and she said it was one of the things that made her start to confront her shyness. She ended up going to an ivy league school and became a journalist, of all things.

We still chat from time to time.

Edit: no, we didn't bang. I was happily engaged by my 10 year reunion and well settled into my career. She lived in Africa on assignment from a wire service. We were in very different places in our lives and I was and am happy to count her as a friend.

Meanwhile, if someone feels like they still haven't lived up to their potential after graduating, the support and encouragement they get from their former professors or teachers can really help.

"Lots of people don’t get there right away, or end up somewhere else completely, and if students see how others have navigated their career paths, it helps instill some patience and also an openness to other possible pathways," the professor told us.

Whether we like it or not, we’re social animals. We need other people and their approval to feel good. We’re hardwired for communication and cooperation. That, at least in part, explains why some individuals might feel apprehensive about going to their high school reunions. They might think that who they are now won’t leave a positive enough impression on their former classmates.

You might not be where you imagined yourself when you were back in school. Or you might feel embarrassed about how you look, the choices you’ve made. Some people might even feel that they haven’t changed at all over the years. Or that they’re not as ‘cool’ as they were when they were a teenager. In short, we think it’s fair to say that nearly everyone wants to leave a positive impression. Bold, beautiful, successful, witty, and charming—that’s what we want to be seen as.

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users My husband and I went to the same high school but met years later. He was the football player all the girls wanted in bed and all the guys wanted to be with. I was the one people threw against lockers and treated like trash. When my reunion came around, one of the girls I had kept in contact with asked me to help with the website, so I said what the hell. When we showed up, quite a few people asked why he was there. He had graduated 2 years earlier. He said he was with his wife and just and took his seat. I walked in and took a seat as they were thanking those who helped with the reunion. When they announced my name, people looked around slightly confused. I stood, like the others and you could hear a pin drop. Apparently I changed quite a bit in that ten years. My husband raised his glass and smiled again. It was awesome.

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users One kid was fairly small, quiet and goofy. Nice kid, but nothing too special about him. We hung out a few times at speech/drama tournaments.

I had wondered what happened to him. Turns out he grew quite a lot and became quite popular. His acting career took him far. He's been in several huge films, including X-Men.

We knew him as Jimmy. Today he goes by a more mature name of James - James Marsden.

I hope he's still a cool, goofy guy deep down that I remember from the few times we hung out.

The irony, of course, is that everyone’s so worried about their own self-image that they don’t really notice the things that we’re worried about. (Though, on the flip side, people really do gossip over the smallest flaws, too. But there’s no way that you can eradicate gossip without taking away what makes our species ‘human’ in the first place. And... gossip can actually have some benefits, too, like encouraging cooperation and helping 'reform' mean individuals.)

We think that it’s best to… just be yourself. If you’re happy, if you feel that you’re successful based on what’s most important to you, then that’s wonderful. But don’t skip out on your school reunion just because you think someone might not like your haircut or suit. You never know, it might be a lot of fun catching up with the people who used to be your friends. And it’s the perfect opportunity to act goofy and childlike for an evening.

One pet peeve of ours is that no matter how successful we are, the moment we walk into that reunion, someone is bound to start reminiscing about the good old days and sharing a ton of embarrassing stories that you’d rather forget. You know, Pandas, the kind of stuff you suddenly remember when you’re showering or when you go get a glass of water at 5 o’clock in the morning. Thanks, Chad, thanks for reminding everyone of the time Jim puked after eating a bad taco. You too, Stacy, you’re just wonderful for bringing up the story about how Alice got spooked on the stage and started stuttering. Brilliant…

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users Me, actually.

I was this weird punk-ish nerd that none of the boys would even look at, let alone ask on a date. I had a girlstache and no boobs. And besides that, I was the only poor kid in an expensive school (yay scholarships).

10 years later, I'm hot. Pardon my lack of modesty, but I look really good, and I bought the boobs I wanted. I dress well, I speak 3 languages, and I'm one of the few who has a college degree and a steady job in my area. I'm living by myself and paying all my bills while most still live with their parents and use their money at almost 30.

This girl, let's call her Jane, was always very quiet. She was never picked on, but that's because she was mostly ignored. She wrote lots of poetry and read lots of books and I never heard her talk in school outside of English class. She started smoking cigarettes and drinking when she was a teen, but she didn't like parties with lots of people. The few times I talked to her it was always about how terrible parents were or how terrible God is or how terrible the government is. She was thin and pretty too, and my friend dated her briefly, but he said he couldn't deal with her anger.

Flash forward I see her again. She put on a ton of weight. Like a ton. I thought "oh great now she has body issues on top of her other issues. Poor girl." But I talked to her and she was so happy.

She got a job writing for a travel blog and she gets to go all over the country. She came out as a lesbian and I saw pictures of her and her partner's travels. She quit drinking and she's been sober for a few years now. She's very open about her struggles with her identity, alcohol, and depression that date all the way back to high school.

So physical and mental state she had a huge transformation. And I'm glad she found a happy ending.

It’s probably a question of ‘when,’ not ‘if’ someone’s going to bring up your past. And even though our instincts might yell at us to cringe and shy away, it’s best to do the opposite. Lean into the embarrassment. Embrace it. Laugh it off. Show everyone you’re having fun. Ironically, this is what’s going to make people love you more: accepting your flaws, not trying to pretend you never had any.

Vanessa Bohns, an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Cornell University, explained to Bored Panda during an interview for a previous article that not hiding our embarrassment helps us connect with people better.

“Displaying signs of mild embarrassment can actually be socially constructive and make people feel more sympathetic towards you in the face of your faux pas. I don’t necessarily think you need to take pains to hide it,” she told us that others value honesty and being genuine.

Nobody changed at all.

I left Ireland three days after my leaving cert, and happened to move back a month before the reunion party. I hadn't seen a single person in the 10 intervening years, and everyone was basically *the exact same person* as they had been in school. Better-dressed, more confident, less awkward - but essentially the exact same people.

I had been dreading it, because I was never a popular kid in school - but it actually felt wonderful to be among those people again. After high school, you never really get to know anyone that well again. Add that to me having spent 10 years being an immigrant in various places, and that made re-connecting with these people extra sweet. All of the people with massive chips on their shoulders - they didn't show up. So the only people who were there were the ones who were as excited as I was.

There was one kid who changed massively, but he didn't come to the reunion. In school, he was the most dyslexic kid, worst at math, bottom of every class. His only love was making home-made bombs on his farm and blowing s**t up with them. He went to a college in Cornwall or Wales or something, that specialised in mining - because he figured that way he could work with explosives.

So fast-forward almost ten years, and I am finally getting my bachelor's degree. I took a bit longer than most people do, but I had just got the results from my last few exams and I had finally passed. I was basking in that elation when my phone rang and it's this guy. He just got his PhD for building a f*****g robot that goes into mines and fires f*****g lasers everywhere to make a 3D scan of the mine without endangering any humans. He built a robot with lasers on it. And had a PhD.

Way to take the wind out of my sails, James.

By accepting our feelings of embarrassment and awkwardness, we also put a stop to them morphing into feelings of shame.

“What you want to be careful not to do is to let embarrassment morph into the more destructive self-conscious emotion of shame, where you feel so badly about a minor mistake that you start to think there is something wrong with you and feel the need to completely disappear and hide away yourself,” Vanessa said.

The Best And Worst Transformations Seen During School Reunions, As Shared By These 30 Internet Users Probably my wife (although we just had our 20 year reunion a couple years ago). We both went to middle and high school together, knew each other in a friendly way, you know, say hi when you pass in the hallway, but nothing more than that. Fast forward about 12 years, and I went on a blind date after coming off a glorious summer of bachelorhood. I saw her standing outside the bar, waiting for me, and I can still see it like it was yesterday. I kept on thinking, nah, this can't be her, I had seen a couple pictures but I was like this girl is drop dead gorgeous.

We hit it off that night, and within a couple weeks we were dating. About a month after that first date, we were talking about where we went to school, and she mentioned that she went to the same high school I had. So I asked her what year she graduated and lo and behold, it was the same year as me. "What middle school did you go to?" I asked. Once again, same as mine. She had our high school yearbook from our senior year in her closet, so she brought it out and we looked up our pictures. "Wait a second, you're <so and so>?". I was in shock, in high school she was someone that was bullied on a lot because of her looks. But here I was looking at this gorgeous blonde, who was just stunning. We brought out her middle school year book, and that is when it pretty much hit us that fate had brought us together. There, in faded yellow marker, she had highlighted my name. The only boy in our entire class that she highlighted was mine. We still don't really know why, but she did, and it was the like the God of Fates opened up the clouds and sent a beam of light upon us.

The best part was, my nickname starts with "Crazy". I was a party animal, but I was getting near 30, and I had been dating/hanging/whatever many a crazy chick over the last 10 years. All of them were pretty big into the party life themselves. She however, was grounded. She had a good job, dressed way above my pay grade at the time, and just was a good person that had a good family. She turned my life around, and while it hasn't all been roses, we have now been married for close to 10 years and have two wonderful kids. And most importantly, I still look at her almost every day and think how lucky I am to have such a beautiful woman, both inside and out.

P.S. When she first joined Facebook way back in the day, I was already on it and had a lot of friends from high school. I made a post linking to her Facebook and just said, hey, if you remember <so and so>, we got married a few years ago so she needs some friends on here. My post was inundated with posts from high school friends, "that is <so and so>!!", "wow <so and so> you look so different", "No way that is <so and so>", including some of the very people that bullied her when she was younger. I am extremely proud of my wife for the woman that she is, both to myself and our kids. And I'm even more proud to know that this girl that grew up getting bullied because of her looks got the last laugh.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I would NEVER ever even consider going to a school reunion. Not even sure if it's really a thing in Australia. Anyway, that part of my life is in my past and it can stay that way. School was a horrible experience for me and I certainly don't want to waste my time on reliving it.

I just made this almost exact same comment on here. We had a graduating class of 600+ people in 1988. 4 years ago they had the 30th reunion and just ELEVEN people showed up!! I heard about online like a week later. Everyone that I knew from high school that I *still* want to talk to is on FB, so I just keep in touch with them there.

I know many of the people I went to high school with were parents before their mid-20s, yet they hadn't really matured so were basically kids with smaller kids. A couple were parents before we left, and now they're all in their mid-30s with kids preparing to entire high school themselves, but the maturity of my ex-classmates is still questionable.

As for myself, I was the outcast. Found out I suffered from depression while I was in college, put on weight while bouncing from one retail job to the next, and I've been social distancing since before it was cool. On the upside, I am working on the weight thing, and it's insane how much more expensive it is to eat healthily.

When I was in highschool my group of friends included this really sweet shy guy who was a few years older than me. While the rest of us were drinking, smoking, and taking drugs, he abstained from it all. He was pretty innocent and, though he was super cute, he never had a girlfriend. Ironically, he was in a really cool Ska punk band. We didn't stay in touch after highschool but fast forward a few years and suddenly he's world famous--Tim Armstrong of Rancid and Transplants.

I hate the 'quiet-kid' meme. People talk about them almost as if they don't exist, or as if they aren't real, and then they're shocked when they find out they can talk and are actually confident. Maybe they just didn't like you very much. Or maybe they didn't like having to be there. Same goes for the ones who they're saying dressed-down in high school, but who dress proffessionally now as an adult. As if they were 'visually quiet'. Seems like they're usually referring to the girls, here. "But she was so hot!"

I went to one reunion. Everyone thought I'd be running the local shoe store (I was the assistant manager while in high school). Sooo, basically they thought I'd go no where in life. I showed up with a degree in science, being a house supervisor for a hospital (as well as an ER/Trauma RN), married and with two sons, so sticking that to them was pretty satisfying. Didn't bother going to any more. They're all awful

I hated my high school years. I was miserable, had no friends but I did academically very well. hated lunchtime because I dreaded sitting near anyone. eventually started bringing a sack lunch and hiding in the library. I was found one day the librarian Mrs. Hatton. She befriended me and had a major impact on my life. We talked about books and poetry during lunch. Eventually I became a library aide and helped out in the library and learned the Dewey decimal system and how to use the card catalog like a pro. A few years ago I looked her up out of the blue. The obituary for Caroline Hatton was amazing. She was in the military and jumped out of planes and traveled! I wish I knew at the time these things about her. All we did was talk about me and my dysfunctional family. I cried. Not only because I missed her but so much of her I never knew about. only would gone to a reunion for her. The rest of the class Hanna Wyoming can F off! I am successful out of state and happy 😃

I couldn't go to a highschool reunion even if I wanted to. For reasons unknown to me, when I was younger, I was sent to different private schools that didn't really teach me anything. They just taught me stuff I already knew. Five years after I graduated from a private highschool. I got an e-mail where I was invited to a highschool reunion. I had to turn it down due to the fact that because I was in different private schools, I would find it a bit awkward to attend and talk to people I've never met.

I left the country just before my 10 years reunion; I hated high school, some of the worst years of my life. For a while I looked at how everybody was doing, using Facebook. It was checking to see how many people died, and even worse when they died of COVID. It's been over 30 years since high school, I certainly never believed I'd end up where I am now: disabled, chronically ill and unable to work. The only joy was that everybody turned 50 before I did 😆

I received an email many, many years ago to my high school graduation but had to decline. The reason for this is because halfway through 3rd grade, I was sent to different private schools so to me, it would have been awkward to go to a graduation and hang around a bunch of people I didn't know.

One of my best guy friends was gay. He wasn't out in high school but it wasn't hard to guess and he was terrorized. I was not popular but for some reason all the popular girls were super mean to me. I'm in my late 40s and I can still tell you things they said to me that left scars. By the time the 10 year rolled around my friend and I blossomed and had fantastic lives. The only reason we went was because we KNEW we were better than all those a******s. We were petty as s**t too. If it was someone who made our lives miserable were not nice to them at all. This one girl was so hot in high school thin, gorgeous hair, awesome clothes perfect make up. The works. She was a c*nt to me. Time had not been kind, weight gain, huge bags under her eyes, dull hair. It was as if everything she had going for her was gone. She actually came up to talk to me. So when she told me how much she liked my shoes. I smiled cruelly said "Thanks, they're worth more than your life" turned and walked away.

Arrived to my reunion in punky yellow and black striped pants, a raggedy T-shirt and a pink satin coat with rhinestones on it. Oh, yeah. And about 40kg lighter. 90% of my class didn't recognize me, nor did my teacher. Next reunion I just happened to be in town, so I went, but had to go home the next day. When I turned down a drink, they were like "What's it matter?" "Can't be drunk for my flight." "Pff, just relax and sleep on the plane." "Mhm. Pass. I'm the pilot."

I've never gone to a high school reunion, but my friend posted pictures of it. Our graduating class was approximately 1200 students. Of that number, only about 40 showed up to the reunion. All the time I was looking to fit in to the popular crowd and none of them showed up. You know who did...the kids that didn't care about status or popularity. The ones that accepted people for who they are. The only reason I never showed....I was 3000 miles away and broke as heck. That's why I asked my friend for the photos.

Nothing drastic. I was Just the "ally sheedy breakfast club"girl type in school. Just hung back a lot. 5 year reunion I rocked it. Confidence. Great bf (now ex). 10 year reunion still rocked it but was having surgery two days later for gall stones. Everyone was trying to memorialize a guy that wasn't dead and he showed up. We were friends in school and I used to help shoot videos for adds for his rubber masks he was selling. He came up an told me I was the best at it because I had an eye for that. I wasn't great and Uber artistic then. But I've been published (artwork) in some books and such. I guess being quiet I heard a lot of gossip that people didn't want to get out. Footballers. Cheerleaders (posted another reunion story about the b@@@h cheerleader from 5 yr reunion before). Just turned into average job married people who didn't like their lives. I'm happy. No kids. Do and go where I like.

I hated high school. I also live in the same county I went to school in. Raised my kids here and they are going to the same schools I did. As are my grandkids! My graduating class just had it's 50 year reunion, I didn't attend. The people I liked in high school are still my friends and I see them around. I don't need to pay a couple hundred dollars for an inferior meal or listen to speeches from people I didn't like and who didn't like me. I did ok after school. Didn't go to college but became a network software engineer for a Fortune 500 telco (2nd largest in North America) and worked there for 25+ years. I got to travel around the US a lot on the company's dime, met interesting people and learned a lot about communications.

I loved going to school, but hated all the meanness, people making fun of me for 4 solid years. It started in 9th grade, after having back to back knee surgeries. I had terrible scar's on my legs, and everyone thought it was hilarious to call me out on them. I also had problems walking and my kneecaps would dislocate on occasion.One of my good friends/used to be friend, announced to the whole locker room one day, boy I'm sure glad I don't have those scars on my legs! Now we had been to school for 8 years together, and went to the same church and had the same catechism classes together. What a friend huh? The final straw was one winter day the sidewalks were completely filled with ice. Of course I fell and got really hurt. My neighbor/old BF, approached me laughing his head off and saying I know I shouldn't laugh but it looked so funny. He proceeded to step over me and my books and go into the building. How could you not offer to help me get up? My knees were bleeding too. Just cruel!

I passed on my 5 year reunion because it was just a picnic in a park and too soon after high school. I went to my 10 year but didn't have much fun. It was ok but my close friends from school didn't show up and most people brought a date so there wasn't much socializing and nobody danced. My 20 year was great! I had so much fun! Most people came without dates so it was easy to reminisce, especially with people that I knew from elementary school (we had a huge school district back then and a number of schools feeding into one high school). The guys didn't age as well as the girls. One guy that I knew from chorus and the plays came to me as I was talking to mutual friends and said to them "Isn't she beautiful now!". I had started to come into my own when I was about 16 and grew as a person in the 20 years since graduation. The woman just looked at him and said "Terry was always beautiful." Thank you Charlotte... you were always a good friend!

Never went to mine, why would I want to see the assholes who bullied me all 9years straight. I'm almost 40 and still struggling with my self esteem.

There isn't a person I went to school with that I have any interest in seeing, not one. I also get great joy in the fact that the teachers I had are no longer with us.

I have been to many high school reunions. No competition.. just happy to see each other in person and still alive.
