If I went back to school then by the gods I would hold my head high and be the most arrogant asshole. My life at school had been the subject of bullying! I was a little chubby, I tried to study hard and I got along with teachers. This was all frowned upon and as a result they gave me hell.
If I could see them now I would just brag!
"Oh yeah I've ran in elections around the local area... Yeah, I got a job in HR and I am making good money. I have no kids and no worries because I have no serious responsibilities. Hmm? Oh yeah I am going to take a course and further my education so I can get a promotion and a £10k pay hike. Why yes! I have lost weight and I still read Superman comics!
So, how are you?"
That sounds so petty but... I hated school.
I look back now and wish I had punched certain girls in the face.

They'd be all; "Is that you Berty? I see your life has reached its inevitable conclusion! Still nevermind, at least you're lucky in love, eh?"
Then they'd walk off, roaring with laughter. I'd shake my fist at them and say; "you think you're so great with your beautiful wife and well adjusted children, with your prestidgeous job as a quantity surveyor, vibrant social life, good looks settling into distinguished maturity, diet that doesn't consist of toast and fried chicken and mortgage and retirement plan and regular holidays at a mate's place in Greece but well...er...
You're fatter than you were 10 years ago! In your FACE!"

I had shoulder length hair in primary school. Now it is neck length. Every post you make I am convinced we need to have a drink together.TizzytheTormentor said:
OT: they would say how mature and cool I am. For example, I only wear band shirts now and am the nicest guy you will ever meet.
Whenever I see people? As a grown woman running into the girls I hated in high school? Yes, I'm still overweight, but I grew into my looks otherwise and am pretty good-looking otherwise. So I flaunt that. I ask them how they're doing (they usually got fat, too, because 10+ years out of school will do that to you) and wait for their response.
Then I go "Oh, yeah, I'm a government librarian now. The money's great, I get amazing benefits and tons of holidays. I've got a press conference to go to today, too (because I actually do). I just paid off my car, so that cleared all of my personal debt. I have a great house, and am planning vacations and such right now. My family's great, too. How about you? I heard you got divorced? / I heard you married that guy who beat you in high school, how's that going? / Last time I saw you you were managaing a McDonald's... how's that going?"
... And so and and so forth because I'm a ***** and I want most girls I went to school with to suffer and burn.

I actually have my ten year class reunion coming up in two weeks..... I'm not sure what they will say about me. I only hung out with a few of them & didn't care what the rest of the assholes thought of me in the first place. I am in better shape than I was in high school. I know most of them have been trying to repopulate the earth with all the kids they have been having. So I guess I'll just have to wait & see how things go.
10 year old me: So in a decade you developed near sightedness, lactose intolerance, anemia, and are now allergic to your own body heat? WTF did you do?
Me: Absolutely nothing. *sits at computer desk and continues to atrophy*

My friends would probably say...
Wait, I didn't have any friends in high school. Oo Err... FAMILY would say:
"Holy crap, you're social now! Still kind of a hermit, but once a week you leave your hole to hang out with PEOPLE?! They are people right? Not some mutant rodents or a horrible fusing of chemicals and gas making us think they're people thanks to our brains melting? Oh good, good. Glad to see you're healthy, now where is our late rent payment?"

Well i'm not an obese rocker looking bum anymore so there's that. Tattoos and lost 80 or so pounds. Proper hair cut and normal clothes OMG.
Oh those are the worst! You get to sit there and listen to a group of people you never cared about chattering on about their spawns and their mock successful lives. Although it is entertaining at times to listen to individuals whom you thought were going to succeed in life actually suffering around in their own failures after having children during/directly after high school.Mr Fixit said:
That sounded a lot worse than I had intended.
No, it's great. I ask what people have accomplished and they say "2 kids". So I wonder "you squeezed 2 more human beings out of your vagina to inhabit this overpopulated and dying planet, and you're proud?"SaetonChapelle said:
... I just smile and nod, then tell them how great my career is and how accomplished I am.
Except women still judge you if you're not married with kids.
Then I just look at them and say "I'm going to retire when I'm 55, if not earlier, then spend the next however many years travelling the world and not having any debt. Your kids will still be living at home when you're 55."
I can assume my teachers would either sympathies with me (if they understand that the recession is still going on) or see me as a dissapointment since I went to Uni, got a degee but I'm current working in a part time job in retail.
As for me peers or other pupils with me would view me as a different guy/ expanded (back then I was quiet and just got into anime) but they may still find that part of me that's still the same (I am still not talkative).

I don't think I have even changed that much oddly. I still do a good deal of the same things just much better. I started Judo when I was 5 I still do that, I still play cards but moved from yugioh to magic, I still love cartoons but have expanded in what I watch, I still love games and even play a good few of the old ones still. The one major thing I think that would shock me is I am a artist now infact I am going to have a cert in foundation of art and design a diploma in multimedia and a diploma in fine arts. I don't think I would have seen any of that coming. I did always want to be a video game creator and now I am lead designer on a game I am getting published so that is cool.
