Prom queens, school presidents, cliques... it all seems so significant. Until it doesn't. High school is over, we move on with our lives, make new connections and often even forget the names and faces of those same people we spent years seeing daily. Do you ever wonder what they're up to now?
One Reddit user started a conversation on 'the prettiest girl in high school.' They wondered whether she was a kind person or a bully, and what she's actually up to today. While many people said they didn't even remember who the prettiest girl in their school was, there were some who instantly put a name to it and shared what she was like. It's not their fault and likely not their hard work that made them look pretty, but their personality and how they treated others is another question.
Bored Panda selected the most interesting answers about the high school beauty queens, so scroll down and upvote your favorites. And if you have a story about the prettiest girl in your school, don't be shy, and share it in the comments below!

She was so insanely beautiful but also so sweet and kind to everybody. Thing is she KNEW she was beautiful and loved, but did not let it change her attitude — the only time it came up was when she asked people not to vote her junior prom queen (the first year eligible) because then she’d be disqualified from winning as a senior (sadly and obviously, she won jr).
I was such a fucking quiet awkward chubby loser who hung out with the punk trash and definitely did not think I was on her radar. But years after high school she came into the retail store I was working, and pulled me aside to excitedly say hello, introduce her mom, and ask how i was doing :)
She also became a doctor lol.

She was a sweetheart and everybody loved her. Treated everybody with compassion & kindness. I think, she married some ultra rich guy. I just hope life treats her as well as she treated others.

She was very kind with a friendly personality. She became a hairstylist and then actually switched to software engineering.

Both the girl who was homecoming queen and the guy who was homecoming king my senior year ended up becoming teachers at our school. The guy got a teacher of the year award from our state government last year. He’s also a football coach (he played football in high school.)
Both of them were super nice to everyone. I’m glad they’re doing well.

Mine is literally a famous movie/TV actress, but she was always sweet and kind of shy. I’m happy for her.

Kind of a loser. She was homecoming queen, befriended all us nerds, was really nice but would never eat lunch with anybody outside the popular crew, right? So not hatable.
At the reunion, though, she shows up as a failed personal trainer who moved to New York but had to move back. Talking s**t about our hometown. Then she sat in some dude's lap and loudly said they needed to pick up where they left off and honestly made everybody uncomfortable, including the dude who was like uhhhh. Then we take a big group pic and she does a full split in front of the picture.
Like I get it. You were a fit cheerleader. And snaps on being able to get down on that. But we're all turning 40. 🤣 Like, I dunno. I feel sorry for her. Life did not go as planned.

my high school was tiny so i’m just gonna go with the prettiest person i knew. she was also the most popular person i knew and super friendly to everyone. she’s now a professional ballerina and seems to be married to a nice guy
now that i think about it, my high school bullies were all pretty conventionally ugly. there were two main ones who made my life hell. the first one now sells insurance and the other one is deep into 3 mlms
you could say that karma gave these people the lives they deserved. but i also think that they were all also victims of circumstances. the ballerina had wealthy parents who enrolled her in the best dance classes from an early age. she learned from her mom how to be a kind person and how to do her makeup at a young age so that she’d be conventionally attractive. my hs bullies both came from broken and poor families and were only taught bad habits like overeating and judging others

A stay at home mom of 3, miserable, alcoholic husband. That’s why peaking in high school is terrible.

Shockingly the most popular and the most prettiest girl (in my opinion) was a very sweet girl. Her family had a lot of money even owns a taco bell in our small town and her mother teaches at the highschool. But she was always sweet and kind. She was one of the few people that always talked to me when she saw me and was never mean. I still text her about twice a year thanking her for being such a nice person to me. She had so much more that me and has gone on a lot of trips, is in college, and will always have more opportunities than I will but I am so unbelievably happy for her and proud of her. She is in college to become an elementary school teacher. I truly believe she deserves all of the good things that come her way and I hope nothing bad ever happens to her. I have a child now and if she makes the choice to teach in our town (only 3 schools, 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high) I hope she teaches my child.

She’s doing well. I used to joke with her and say that I wanted to hate her because she was so pretty, but she was too kind and funny for anyone to hate. Now she’s esthetician and is still dating the guy she met senior year of high school.
It’s funny though, because she clearly was the prettiest girl (I went to a small all girls high school so there weren’t many of us) but never would flaunt it, and the ones who definitely thought they were hot s**t then are all stuck in the same cycle everyone in my city is in. And they all have Botox and lip fillers at 26. Go figure.

She wasn’t mean by any means, but she was definitely the type to be nice to keep up the image and was veeery different once you got to know her.
She has 1.5m followers on TikTok now from doing “story times” and I was rooting for her until she randomly hit me and a friend of mine up a couple years ago by randomly throwing us all in a group chat together, said she “still took credit” for our friendship even though me and my friend met in middle school before we shared a class with her in high school. She basically wanted to do a “story time” about how we were sad emo losers in high school and she came along and became our friend and saved us. When we were reluctant into doing it, she tried bribing us with gifts and social media “shout outs.” She also uses a very obnoxious baby voice in her videos on social media although she’s almost 26 and she didn’t even sound like that back in high school.
Now she’s pregnant with her boyfriend and every time I see her life on social media, I’m overwhelmingly reminded how fake and perfectly curated social media is.

Bully. Also one of my closest friends.
Today she's working an IT job, and is dating somebody she's been for the past half decade and thanks me for it and has also apologised for what she did to me.

She was the prettiest and the most popular (in my year, at least). She was incredibly kind. She went on to a state college, got a good degree, now she’s married with 2 little kids. I haven’t spoken to her since we graduated, but I hope she’s doing well.

She was scary but not a bully, she was friends with everyone and a REALLY good student
She became a lawyer, or something involving law.

She was mean and a snob.
She oh so typically went into nursing, is with some gym bro, and is in financial ruin. She's having to sell her house that she plastered all over FB because she over leveraged and now the interest rates are catching up.
The other girl from highschool is still at the same dead end job that she had in highschool, doing absolutely nothing with her life.

The prettiest AND most popular girl in my class was very kind. She married her high school sweetheart, who was also very hot and kind. She is a pediatric physical therapist. I'm not sure what he does. They have 3 kids who look just like them. Totally unfair.

There were plenty of pretty and mean girls in my highschool. But the prettiest girl, in my eyes, was a sweetheart. We didnt run with the same crowd so I didnt know her outside of chemistry class.
I found out recently that she was hospitalized for anorexia her senior year and struggles with relapsing. But is successfull in the other areas of her life as far as I can tell.
I've struggle with binge eating disorder my whole life and feel kind of guilty for thinking she had the perfect body back then.
