Went to one. The most recent I was like "I'm not driving 3 hours for a potluck at a sand green golf course I didn't like playing when I lived nearby." And the people I cared about seeing were in the same boat.

I was invited to my 10 year. The person running it had encouraged my exgf to break up with me years ago. It wasn't being held at the school, and by all accounts only a few people were going. I think it was going to be at a Denny's essentially. It sounded miserable so I skipped it. No regrets.
I dont know if my school even has them. I wont be going anyway even if i find out they do. Theres only a handful of people I'd want to see and they've got just as much Internet access as me. If there was anything worth talking to eachother for we would have done it by now. I don't want to force stuff and have it be weird.
And the majority that I really don't want to see I guarantee are all "doing better" than me. It turns out being smart and getting good grades doesnt mean shit if your dad isnt already a big wheel at the cracker factory.
Never have, despite living within the same school district I graduated from currently. I don't cling to people like that. I did attend a "hey, so-and-so is back in town for a minute" party. I didn't know any of them or have anything in common with them, or even talk much.
I ran into the daughter of someone I was on the diving team with. She was nice but looked a bit uncomfortable when I said to tell her dad I said hi, and had no idea her dad even was on the diving team.
I'm just a private person. I wouldn't hate catching up with someone one on one, but I can't imagine attending a big event and doing it 50+ times in a night with people who likely haven't spared a thought for me since 1991. Maybe I'm the asshole, but I don't care what they're up to and it would be weird if they pretended to care about me.
I think I went to my 5-year as I was going to be in the area anyway, but nothing after thati only attended that school for one year, but still had some good memories. This was before Facebook and I think even myspace. I actually moved my final year of highschool so most of my memories of that one we're good.
Hell no
I was asked by some friends that I hadn't seen since HS if I was coming to my 10 year reunion. It happened to also be the same day of my wedding and when I saw pictures, looked like maybe 40-50 of class of 300 showed up. There wasn't a 20 planned that I'm aware and honestly with social media I don't see a point.
