A couple are dead, they just weren’t the ones I expected.
One is a park ranger across the country and caught a pedophile from our home county that went on the run with their grooming victim! Im not sure if he did it in the course of park ranger business or what, but he got a cash reward from the parents regardless which is neat.
Everyone else is boring because we were a boring class.
I am just surprised when I Google one and they are still alive. Meth hit my small hometown really hard after I left there. A few people I knew had heart attacks in their 20’s. Sure, meth was likely the direct cause, but it was common place to start drug use early, so it was probably just a contributing factor. (Highschool jumpstarted my own alcholisim. We didn’t think of it as abuse at the time because it was so normalized.)
In intermediate, there was a guy who was always a massive dick to me, but we had a mutual friend and were in the same house so we interacted far more than I would have liked.
Turns out he fucking killed someone.
My person is a well brought up Italian Catholic girl I was friends with, and when I looked her up she was wanted by the RCMP for embezzling millions out of an investment fund with her husband and then fled the country for years. She came back after they split and pleaded guilty and did four years in federal prison. This was a nice girl and this is super shocking.
Hopefully not that mutual friend!
Really not that shocking at all compared to many… occasionally finding out someone is dead and etc.
But one of the ones that got me was finding out that the girl who I grew up… initially was sort of friends with and eventually painfully shunned me and treated me like an alien eventually became a therapist lmao
Her experience with you made her want to go into psychology? I jest… unless?
Lol! She was a real “mean girl” growing up. I’m hesitant to outright call her a bully because she wasn’t ever direct like that, but she played a part in making multiple people’s lives kind of miserable tbh.
She just loves manipulating people!
This made me look up my best friend and it’s hilarious that I get an IMDB page for a modern actor with the same exact name and he even looks similar. Had to send it to said friend and be like “Yo, when did you start acting?” lol
We were friends for a short while…
But during the time we went to the same school, weird behaviors showed themselves, they told friend R that I would not play games with R unless R did what they said.
This turned me off them completely.
Anyway, I googled their name one day a few years back, and found that they have completely flipped out.
They have seemingly lost all control, and they and their family are have been bullying their neighbors and other in the community.
They have been to prison for stalking and assulting people, there have been reports of them even driving agressively towards random pedestrians.
They will latch on to other people and can make their life a living hell.
I am being deliberately vauge here.
When I was in elementary school, we came home from shopping and discovered someone had pried off the lock and stolen my bike. I was inconsolable. About an hour later I spotted a kid from my class riding my bike, and managed to recover it.
I looked that guy up a few years ago. Found him on the sex offender registry.
In high school, one of my classmates shot and killed his sister’s friend while cleaning a .22 rifle. There was a trial, but I don’t remember the verdict. As a minor, it might have been sealed. He disappeared for about a year. When he came back, he was completely withdrawn and…changed.

There was a guy at my high school that was just an absolute jackass. One of those guys that you know is never going to amount to anything, and will probably be in prison shortly after graduation. He disappeared my junior year, I thought he had moved.
I looked that guy up a few years ago. Actually, he had broken into someone’s house (a burglary) and beat the shit out of the homeowner when he was discovered. But he’d also been held back in school a couple times, so he was 18 when he did it. When I looked him up, he had just been released from prison.
Unfortunately, nothing yet. For quite a good amount, I wouldn’t be exactly sad.
On the exact opposite, searching for the guy I met in the psychiatry (both in for severe depression, as teenagers), he’s doing quite well.
I only remembered ones name, and turns out he is gay (didn’t know that at the time, he had girlfriends) and is now married, living in nyc as some kind of banker type so good for him?
I knew someone with the exact same story.
I’m surprised how many of them turned into single moms shortly after graduation.
