Wasn't High School almost 20 years ago?

A few months ago, I began to use Facebook. Then my entire high school graduating class began showing up and trying to re-create the days of high school on there. Now back in high school I was a bit weird. First of all I was a teacher's kid which put me at a severe disadvantage. Second, I did nothing but go to church any time the door was open and that put me a severe disadvantage. Finally, I was somewhat introverted. So, high school was a huge void of loneliness for me. One I care not to go through again. When I went to college, it took about six weeks before I discovered I didn't have to be a teacher's kid anymore, discovered alcohol and gave up on church, and turned in to a big time extrovert.

I partied a lot in college and through the early part of my 20's and then I began to settle down and mature a bit. So, now I'm on Facebook which was my first mistake. So, I have tried to actually make an effort and strike up conversations with some of the people from my high school class. My thinking was that I am certainly different, perhaps they are as well. That was my second mistake. Why is it that the majority of people can not progress beyond high school? I have congratulated newly pregnant classmates, I have congratulated ones that are about to deliver - I mean motherhood is certainly something we now all have in common for most of us. I get no response what so ever. It is very disappointing that some people simply can not imagine that how a person was in high school is not how they will be for the rest of their life. I tend to think that by getting out of my hometown and out of the South in general that I became a better person and more open minded and well rounded in comparision to my classmates that never left. Perhaps that is why they can't talk to me now - I'm weird because I experienced life!
