      Makes you wonder how much has changed over the years or if nothing has changed at all doesn’t it?

      I sometimes wonder about this sort of thing. As a computer nerd in the 80’s I did not have a good time in High School. On the other hand, I was an annoying, arrogant little snot. I would not want to be judged today on my 16-19 year-old self.

      But though I was a pain, I was never (intentionally) abusive or hurtful to people. So, to what extent do we judge people 20 years later on their teenage personalities? Frankly, there are maybe half a dozen people in my whole year group I’d be interested in seeing again. But that doesn’t on its own mean I expect all the rest to have ended up as horrible people.
