What are the cool kids from your school up to these days?

[McOrange]

I keep in touch a bit and sometimes see people on Facebook from my old school (25 years ago now) and the former geeks and losers are the ones who seem to be doing really well, mostly got “big” jobs and have families etc. Whereas the cool ones stayed in my home town and don’t seem to have amounted to much.

of course, there is way more to life than you can see in a fb snapshot, and more to life than big jobs, but I wish I could have told my school age self that it was cool to be academic and embrace that. As one of those geeks who had the piss taken out of me a lot, I wish I’d known it was ok to be uncool.

What are those who were cool in your school doing now? How about the geeks and uncool kids?

The most beautiful girl in my school is a famous singer now back in my home country. She is become diva now.

i’m one of the coolest girl in my school and all of my friends are SAHM. And the coolest boy aome of them make it and some of them not.

i dont know much about the geeky kid though.

Contribute to GDP? How patronising

Childcare is so expensive and not everyone can afford to work whilst paying for childcare.

I moved away and returned to my home town last summer and went to the very local dive bar. A girl
who was the most popular/pretty was working there and she was mortified. I felt quite sorry for her as she definitely had peaked at school.

She looked about 20 years older than me, hard living in a shit estate. Sad really.

i Think that’s the most insincere ‘sad’ I’ve ever seen.

I know, it's a bit weird. I don't monitor the jobs/marital status/financial status/family life of people I went to school with. Why would I care?
