To this day (30+ years since high school) I don't dare go to a reunion. I couldn't be civil with most of those people. "Oh, hi! How are you doing? Bet you have no idea how often I fantasized about riding my bike over your faces because of the shit you put me through. And largely because of you and all your super-special bestest friends, I cheer every time I watch the prom scene in Carrie."

Also to this day? When I hear about a school shooting, my very very first thought is never "Oh how horrible, what a tragedy," but "How long did the other kids bully and abuse that kid while the adults looked the other way?"
