    I'm sorry you missed your reunion. I had similar experiences after my sister was no longer around to protect me at school. I almost missed my last one because I do not drive and had no transportation. I had never gone before, either, but one of the reception committee members contacted me by EMail and told me he would arrange for a ride to and from if I would come. He picked me up personally, I went and had a good meal and a wonderful time. I am disabled in both knees with arthritis and stayed at my two-person table - but people came and talked to me instead - including a girl in my homeroom in high school. We had a how-have-you-been-what-are-you-doing-now chat that lasted a good forty-five minutes.In a few reunions I have attended since, most of the kids have forgotten old childish hurts and want to reconnect and be friends. Please rethink your decision and go to the next one, if you can. These people are grown up now and should not hold old wounds against you. Mine didn't - and I'm thankful for that.

    I went to my 4Oth year high school reunion. I didn't go to any earlier ones and almost didn't go to this one because I have arthritis in both knees and am reduced to a walker;
    also because it was at the racetrack and had no transportation. One of the members of the reception committee asked me again to come, he would pick me up and take me home. I gave in.I dreaded seeing most of the old classmates because of incidents like you described.
    Was I ever wrong-o! My ride brought me a dinner from the buffet table, and I didn't have to leave my table all night - people came to ME! People from my homeroom division, people I did (and didn't quite] remember. Everyone was nice - they had seen me come in with the walker and made an effort to come over and catch up. It was a busy, profitable, and fast four hours. Some of my old classmates had passed away, but those that were there we glad to see me come.

    You were lucky you actually got to go shopping. I haven't been to shop for myself in about a year and a half.

    I was bullied by class mates and then teachers for 12 years growing up. I was beaten on a regular basis. My PE teachers called me a sissy because I could not run fast enough to even beat one girl in class. I was undiagnosed with asthma, I was close to dieing a couple of times, and no one did a damn thing.



    I have not gone to any of my High School reunions either, we just had the 20th a couple of years ago. I had no friends then, so why would I go back now?!?



    We were also middle class family, in a rich area. I had a hand me down Toyota Celica to drive when I turned 16, while others had BMWs, Mercedes, Muscle cars, and even a couple of Ferraris were in our school parking lot.

    Most of us don't even realize how much our parents love us. This story shows just that.

    And I really don't get what's with this "rich-poor" bullshit...Nobody is rich or poor all by themselves...those rich folks were just born to rich parents...NONE OF THAT MONEY THEY ******* SPEND IS THEIR OWN...

    Wow...sounds like you had quite a bad experience with this bully of yours. I myself have been a bullying victim, and I just happened to write about one of my bullying experiences, and will post some more stories when I have a chance. If you're interested in reading my story, feel free to do so.

    Nothing wrong with K-mart, My parents used to take me there. I didn't go to non of my reunions either, to many bad memories. It was the same where I went to school. The "popular" guys were the ones who took everything the the "popular" girls put out. I am so glad that I did not go down that road. It's good that you had a step father who loved and cared for you so much.
