have you changed in looks since you graduated high school?

As in, would someone you hadn't seen in 10+ years be able to recognize you?

There were quite a few people that I had class with daily and they had changed so much in looks, I couldn't believe it was them.

Not really, but I will say that I am SO GLAD that I am not one of those girls who peeked in high school. I have a lot of fb friends that were so beautiful in high school but look like straight up sh!t now. Mostly because they all fake tanned every day back then and now they look leathery and wrinkley and older than they should.

I dont look unrecognizably different but Im a good 25lbs thinner.  My face was pudgier and I had really short crappy hair due to a bad perm exp. that ended up having to have my hair all cut off to a pixie cut.  Im not one that looks good with that short of hair.  Esp when I was 25lbs heavier than I am now.  Other than that I feel I look the same.  

Lets PIP some pictures of us in H/S.

Definitely.  I've gained a ton of weight and my hair is back to my natural color.

I think so, it was 17 years ago so I guess everyone changes. I did tan a lot in HS, but I am lucky and have really nice skin. I think my looks peeked a couple years ago, now I just feel like a hag, mostly because I have chronic dry eyes so I can't wear contacts and I can't get eye surgery so I have 4 eyes everyday and I just feel so nerdy and librarian like..I think I used to look a lot prettier when i did myself up,wasn't as tired and didn't wear glasses 24/7..

I have gained 35 pounds, but I was super skinny, so I am still a very healthy weight for my height.  I still look the same. I have super straight hair, so not much can be done with it.  Someone I grew up with saw my DD in a store and followed her back to me the other day.  They said when they saw her, they knew I had to be her mom.

My face looks the same as it did when I was 2.  Someone I haven't seen in 25 years recognized me last week.

Of course I do look older...I did graduate a hundred years ago!

Oh yes. For the better thank goodness.

Well I ran into a friend from HS a couple of months ago, and she recognized me right away, and I hadn't seen her in probably a good 10 years. I guess I look basically the same.

To answer my own question. I do look the same ... "you haven't changed a bit!" Hopefully that's a compliment and I just look young! Off to trudge up some old pics ... somebody else better do it too!

I look the exact same.  Except for being pregnant and all...

BTW  I think mainly why I look the same is that I have only been out of school for umm.....8years. :P  I guess that has a lot to do with it.

I haven't changed looks wise, but I have put on about 50 pounds!

Not really. I look generally the same. I was unhealthy skinny in HS and now I am more fit but I don't think I look too different.

I've added about 60 pounds but everyone that sees me always knows who I am...even if it has been 20 years or more!  They all say they recognize my smile.
