I know how it feels to forget even important events in our lives during high school. I think facebook has indeed help in some ways bring us back to those times. Although sometimes other people might just likely pretend that you personally know each other. We should be extra careful with giving out details though. Lots of teens have already been victimized because they gave out personal details with someone they thought they know.
Cool post!

That reminds me of year book signings at the end of the year in high school, everyone is so busy signing everyone’s year books and its fun but there was always that one person that wrote something super sweet and I just couldn’t remember who they were. It sounds horrible, but it’s true. I am making it a priority to look for those people at my upcoming high school reunion, I hope they remember me this time!

Maureen: It is scary how easy it is to forget people—especially when they remember you. I’d really love for some people (a select few) to fill in the blanks of some of my high school experiences. It might help explain a lot!

Holy crap, this sounds just like me. I avoided our 30th reunion just last year. I look at my yearbooks and recognize a few people, but most have faded over time. Scary. I loved high school, but the thought of being tracked on Facebook is just too creepy. I have a Facebook account, I just don't update it much. Maureen’s last blog post..You're Giving Me Chest Pains

Yeah. Wasn't quite in that crowd. I had fun but kept it "under the radar". The thinf I dislike most about FB is when old friends think it's a good idea to post all those old HS and grade school pics and tag me with them. I live 900 miles from "home" for a reason and now my new friends have seen stuff they shouldn't have. However, as requested, I got a scanner for Mom's day and I'm gonna get some serious payback!

Florida Girl In Sydney: I found it! It was the second hit on Google. Now I can’t remember what the first one was—I should go back and see. Well, it was quite a post, well worth checking out. Again, I’m sorry you had to go thru that. No parent should ever leave their child like that.

MomZombie: HA! Well, I guess I’m curious. The woman who contacted me—I know we were friends, I just don’t remember much about it. And I’d love to fill in the blanks of some of my memories. I know there were good ones tucked away.

misstfied: Well, it sounds like you have a very healthy attitude toward Facebook and the past. I joined FB mainly to promote my blog and because a lot of my favorite bloggers were on it—it’s a good way to keep in touch with all of them. I probably “talk” to them more than old friends! I wouldn’t mind hearing from a few people and maybe even starting up “new” friendships, but not with people I barely knew.

Lin: I agree to a point, but there are some friends from high school I wouldn’t mind hearing from and, like I said above, my main reason for joining FB is to hang out with my blogging friends. Join us! We’re the cool kids now!

Jeet: Yeah, put me in the hazy category, for sure!

It's always like when you try to remember your high school after 20+ years. I managed to stay in touch with some of my friends. Facebook does bring a lot of old memories. Some people are good at remembering details but for others they are just hazy memories. Jeet’s last blog post..Bird Eye View of Space Shuttle Launch - Skydive

Uh, yeah. And that would be precisely the reason I DON’T join Facebook. If you are in my past and I don’t keep in touch now–guess what? Ain’t gonna reconnect now. Nope. I don’t want to hear anything from high school–I have fond rememberences–but I did the usual shady stuff too and I don’t want to revisit those times. I WAS A KID! Doing kid stuff.

On another note–somehow I didn’t envision you as a stoner.

Wow, JD, you sure had it rough during your high school years (as did some others, from the sounds of it). I’m sincerely sorry to hear that. My time at high school wasn’t the greatest but, compared to yours, ‘geez, mine was a breeze. I can’t say I didn’t have any friends, I did, and many of them are on Facebook with me now but, evenso, I don’t spend much time on FB “catching up” with them because I just don’t have the time to do so nor do I think it is a priority (my life NOW is far more important to me than it ever was back then). Once in a blue moon I will login to Facebook to see what’s new but, aside from that, I can’t really even be bothered. Like I said, my high school years do sound like they may have been better than yours but, sheesh, not so great that I’d spend each and every waking moment of my life on Facebook reconnecting with each and every one I went to school with all those many years ago. Oh, and I’m not exactly pumped to go to my high school reunion when it comes around, either. If I go, I go, if I don’t…oh well.
