A woman was left heartbroken when only seven out of 32 classmates showed up to her high school reunion party.
The lady couldn’t help but feel disappointed by the turnout, so she recorded the moment and shared it with her TikTok followers for a laugh.
Social media users had mixed reactions, with many calling her out for trying to "monitor" her old classmates.

Dolly Mosenye thought it would be an exciting opportunity to reconnect with her high schoolmates and catch up on their lives. She envisioned a day filled with laughter, nostalgia, and maybe even some light-hearted drama. But what happened next left her feeling more like the star of a comedy sketch than a reunion planner.

Dolly invited 32 of her former classmates to join her for a day at the park, hoping to relive the glory days of high school. But when the big day arrived, only six of her old pals showed up. Talk about a letdown! Imagine standing there with your friends, trying to make small talk while wondering where everyone else could possibly be.

The ladies stood awkwardly at the park, trying to salvage what was left of the event.

@BabyNalona compared high school reunions to bullying:

"High school reunion should also be classified as bullying people, hey."

@Lethabo Rampone explained why they wouldn’t attend:

"I’m not attending any high school reunion, that school traumatized me; give me a primary school reunion, I’ll be there."

@Hannah.a 🇿🇦 joked:

"I am sure the person who thought of this idea bought a car or is engaged."

@Miss Metaphysically Inclined summed it up perfectly:

"But, who told you people we want to relive high school and face our high school bullies? We’ve moved on, leveled up, and glowed up; it’s beneath us now. We don’t care what you become; the real question is, who did you become that you still want the validation of your high school mates? N, guys, this isn’t that movie."
