You know how in high school films, there are different kinds of students? Like there are popular kids, athletes, nerds and quiet kids. Well, I am sure there are many more and in every school there are different ones, but popular and lonely kids can be found everywhere. At least in every film. And you know, the mysterious thing about these ‘lonely’ kids is that it’s always interesting to see how their lives will turn out - will they change, or will they always stay the same, just adults?
So on that note, recently one Reddit user created a thread with the question “What happened to the lonely guy in your high school class?” And folks online were sharing quite a lot of stories about how these kids’ lives turned out - and be prepared, because some of them are really terrifying, but there are also many heartwarming stories.

The person I always thought of as possibly lonely retained the same couple of friends for the past 13 years and they still seem to enjoy getting together and doing the things they did back then. Video games, anime, etc.One of the most happy-go-lucky, friendly, and popular guys I knew took his own life a couple of years back.

That was me. I always sat at my own table with the occasional foreign exchange student. I got out of school and worked really hard. I just turned 48 and I still haven't peaked. I have a large portfolio of real estate and do a lot of traveling. I wanted something more for myself but I didn't really have that confidence until after school. I now live an incredible life. There is hope for us losers who aren't afraid of a little work.

He joined a cult and completely cut ties with his family. There was an article written about said cult recently and his name pops up quite a bit, so he must have some kind of position of authority in it.

Hard to really say who was really lonely or not. Plenty of lonely people that forced themselves in the crowd.Anyways there was a kid his sister was one of the prettiest most popular at school. She was a senior and he was a freshman. He got the principal to let him put on a concert for lunch period for his band. One of the teachers watching lunch shut him down because he was doing “screamo music” about pop tarts. A month later he shot himself in the head.
Everyone plays it off that he was lonely etc. I never believed that and I thought his concert took a lot of self courage. He was hanging out with his friends. It was the bullying because he wanted to be himself and not fit in the norm. His sister stopped going to school and idk what happened to her. It’s sad how cruel we as kids are.

Ours was a lonely girl, and we have been trying to track her down actually. Last we heard she was homeless and a [illegal substance] addict. I really hope she’s doing better because she was a sweet girl, just very shy.

Learnt that he [took his own life] 2 years ago. Apparently because he was accused of bad stuff and didn't want to go to jail. I was also pretty lonely most of my scholarship, but in high school I had the luck of finding a small group of friend that adopted me.

He's me :3 I'm doing my best to make friends and be social and approaching girls, but literally nothing is working and I have pretty much lost all hope. People objectively worse than me seem to be winning, douche bags, abusers, etc. They all have friends, girlfriends, social circle, and I'm a decent human being with hobbies that exist outside and off the internet, I'm well read, and I like latin dancing. I can't make it work. I give up.
