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.

I kind of relate to this except I wasn't chubby. I was lean and muscular in HS and saved 'chubby' for later in life. Her: Kind, very pretty, seemed out of my league. Me: Introvert farm boy. Not hated but also not one of the popular cool kids. Years later ran into her in a store, chatting, got brave enough to mention I would have asked her out. She looked kind of sad and sad she wished I had because she would have gone out with me. Oh well. 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.

There were two girls in my high school that were both beautiful and very sweet, and they were best friends since the 5th grade. They graduated H.S. and went to different colleges. One of the girls died just before Christmas during her Freshman year from meningitis. We were all shocked. Her best friend was devastated, and took time off from college to cope. She returned to college and got her nursing degree and went into public health. Told us at the 10 year reunion (1987) she felt she had to bring awareness of how many college students died from meningitis. Now all students going to college are required to get a meningitis vaccine.

My mom grew up in a town that is so small there is no football team. But they still have Homecoming around 4th of July (parade & dance for the whole town, not just the high school kids), and I don't know about the king, but my mom won queen when she was 17 years old by selling some sort of raffle tickets or something to raise money for some sort of charity. And then my grandmother won when she was like 70 years old. Since there is no football team, Homecoming can be any time, anybody who does the most good raising money, at any age. So most Homecomings are like what has been described, but not all.

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

Good point on the environments these people grew up in. It's so easy to judge people based on how they are currently, but it's good to remember that people are molded through a lifetime of experiences. Sometimes I feel sorry for the biggest jerks, because they have probably never experienced a healthy/caring relationship with anyone.

Then you have the kind of bullies that I had growing up. The ones who had all the money they could want from Mommy and Daddy and would still beat the lunch money out of the poor kids. The pretty popular girls who would "befriend" the baseline attractive loner just so they could flaunt how pretty rich and popular they were. I was the poor girl (never had lunch money cuz my family qualified for the free lunch program). It was kinda justifying when I went back to my hometown and learned that not only the bully that had dislocated my left hip at a school concert but the rich popular girl were both banned from several stores and restricted to cash only in the ones they weren't banned from (the bully for stolen checks, the girl for bouncing checks)

I was the class Cryer, two people in particular were both incredibly horrible to me. Both became alcoholics and the girl (J) bully and I eventually became friends. I finally got to understand why she bullied me so much. The male bully (R), well I never did understand why he was such a bully but both have done the 12 steps and both have attempted to make amends. But I only think J was sincere. R basically is an even worse bully in the last 7 or 8 years since society has become so disconnected. I actually blocked him in 2016 because his comments on my posts became so vitriolic they weren't worth keeping him around.

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.

Honey, you deserve people being kind to you. Don't tell yourself anything different, especially now that you have a 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.

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.

One of my bullies did this too, except she wound up having 3 girls. Now, even in the house only one can be the Queen B, and it's usually the oldest. She never seemed to grasp why her eldest daughter was so "awful" and "unhelpful" and always in trouble in school because they never actually got in trouble for their bullying because "kids will be kids" and it's "so unfair"... Tiresome, really... I never even wanted to know any of this but that's how it goes when you try to reconnect with friends you had as a kid. So, fast forward a little and all 3 girls had kids as teenagers and she's 39 with 5 grandkids. Apparently the "abstinence only" approach didn't work so well in school. 🤔 Who knew...

Try following a nurse all day and see how you hold up. You'll be in a fetal position in the corner in under 2 hours - and I'm being generous!

I have the utmost respect for nurses. I've never known any bully nurses. (The person who bullied me in 6th grade became a nurse but wasn't a bully as a nurse.) A nurse is there holding your hand in the middle of the night, when you are in so much pain you can't sleep. A nurse is there to help you unhook the IV set up so you can get to the toilet before you pee your pants. A nurse is there to advocate for you when the doctor doesn't understand what's going on. A nurse is there to redo your IV if it hurts. A nurse is there to explain things when the doctor tells you things you don't understand. A nurse is there to place a comforting hand on your shoulder when your loved one dies. I'll never forget some of the great nurses I've encountered in my life. So I don't believe bullies go into the nursing profession. People with huge hearts go into the nursing profession.

It might make both of you feel better if you reached out and told her that?

Up to you if course! Good luck either way in keeping up your healthy habits!

The last thing you should tell someone with an eating disorder is how good they look/looked. The perfect look is like chasing the horizon & they will think you are lying. An eating disorder brainwashes you into being distrustful of compliments. It's best to not ever bring up food or looks.

This just goes to show that true beauty is more than skin deep. When the "conventionally" pretty ones also have a beautiful personality, it shows in everything they do. The pretty ones with a spoiled or mean personality are (to me) the ultimate cosmic joke, cuz their looks MIGHT get them in, but their personality will show them out every time. The ones that I counted as friends in school were usually the outcasts, based solely on their looks/wallets, but they had great personalities (in one girl's case, all 3 of here personalities were amazing). They were the ones who taught me that I had to stand up for and be true to myself, cuz I was the only one who truly could. (I was primarily a pushover that desperately wanted to "fit in", but couldn't due to family finances)

My school didn't have *real* bullies because it was a tiny religious private school so the teachers kept on top of that stuff pretty well, but the prettiest, most popular girl was the closest thing to a bully in that system. But to be fair to her, that system treated her like c**p because she wasn't the academic or religious type. She had a teen pregnancy and the system basically shunned her. She's doing okay these days.

As the pretty girl in high school who was friends with everyone, I can say that in my opinion it was hard. I had people who got so excited, because I talked to them, or told them that I'd be glad to come to their party, and their getting overly excited made me uncomfortable. I was just an ordinary person. I wouldn't let people get bullied, and I did my own thing, I didn't follow the crowd, so of course, so people thought I was weird, and would spread rumors about me. I had people wanting to be my friend, all because of who I was know as. The principle, school counselor, and teachers all told my Momma that I was extremely popular, and very kind. I was happy that people thought that I was beautiful, but that wasn't all I was. I actually had one guy that I was engaged to, tell me to sit and look pretty when we went somewhere, and I was livid! I was so happy when my Daddy said it was okay for me to date older guys, especially GIs, because for some reason they got to know me.

The prettiest girl/most popular in my school was my best friend. She was actually a good person but she was fake around others to gain popularity. I didn't want to be friends with someone that was always competing with me and faking her way through high-school so we stopped talking senior year. In a way I feel bad for her, she thought she needed to be someone else to fit in. She lives in our small town still, does all the small town girl stuff and talks s**t about me to my friends that I still have there.

i guess WAS a good person, but high school popularity ruined it?

It seems to me that bullies from small towns either grow up to be really nice people who move away from the small town (sone return and remain nice) or they remain bullies and rarely leave their small town. Maybe not ever leaving the place you grew up in is not the best way to grow as a person.

Kind. She went to an Ivy League school and now she works at a Fortune 500. She was always so nice to me, even when I was enduring some of the worst times in my life and admittedly wasn’t too fun to be around.
I think there was a difference between her, who I would consider an absolute natural beauty, and the queen bee mean girl, who seemed like she had to be made up like a pageant queen for math class.

Ah, a true beauty then. Hopefully this person is true to life as she is in your memories.

#1- She was a condescending and cliquish bully. She married a member of the basketball team who went pro outside of our country. They had three kids and quickly divorced. She had to start over (career, new location, etc.).
#2- She never overtly bullied anyone but her friends did. She had a very curated image and did seem to look down on people. She moved overseas. Works in the legal field. Married a foreign guy and has a baby. And shows her vacations to *this* private island or *that* yatch party. She's very much about keeping up with appearances still.

#1, Tough for her. #2, Stop participating in her online fantasy, then.

A bully.
She was really pretty and very popular, especially among guys. She was one of those mean girls with her gang of followers that would always make fun of us for being poor, ugly and fat.
Idk where she is now or how she's doing. Last i heard she had became a doctor and was living her best life. I am guessing she's still living her best life now.
There was another girl who was literally one of the most beautiful girl i had ever seen. When i first saw her i was shocked that someone so beautiful went to our school. Idk how she was though cause i never interacted with her nor heard about her.

She was very quiet and kinda childish by drawing and printing out lots of Monster High images on the school computers and drawing sailor moon stuff, no she was not a bully but she took the nastiest s**t from every boy that was attracted to her and didn’t stood up for herself.
Now I see on her Facebook that she’s still dating many different weird guys, but whatever, I can’t stop her.
Jp@nda 2 years ago
No you can't stop her, she can date whomever she pleases. And as"many" as she pleases. Also, how does drawing make her childish? Aaand she got sexually harassed in high school and "didn't stood up for herself"?! Grown women have problems with that. But if you saw it why didn't you"stood" up for her?? Or you know be a decent human and tell a teacher, parent, anyone? You're the one that sounds like they suck in this story

Yeah, what the he11 is this? Drawing doesn't make her childish and - geez. The OP has some serious issues here.

It's interesting to reflect on how the concept of beauty evolves from our school days to adulthood. Often, the person dubbed 'the prettiest girl' in high school may or may not retain that title in the eyes of others as life progresses. This evolution can be quite reminiscent of the journey of certain public figures.
For instance, the story of a French model's early fame as 'the most beautiful girl in the world'. Her story sparked a lot of online debate, much like high school gossip about beauty and popularity.
What do you think ?

From my life experience I'd dare to say that it is best not being so pretty when you are young. Women flourish their beauty when they feel confident on themselves, and sometimes it's better when this happens later in life when a woman is more mature and self-assured. Why? Because being so pretty attracts men of all ages. Not all young girls have the maturity to pilot that well. Did anyone have a similar experience?

in my school, she wasn't popular. she was bullied often, physically attacked on occasion. if you got to know her she was sweet and funny and smart and kind, but she wasn't interested in all the "cool" stuff. she came from a poor family, and just focused on school, she wanted to be the first in her family to go to college. one of her bullies tried to catfish her with a fake love note in her locker. I remember she rolled her eyes and threw it in the trash. the next week, out of revenge, this bully lied to the guidance counselor that she had threatened to pull a columbine, and she was arrested and sent to juvie for 3 years. I lost track of her after that, she never returned to my school. I hope she's doing OK now.

Howwww...do they ruin a child's life and put her away for years on hearsay? Every single one of the adults involved are complete and total failures and I hope the guilt of what they did haunts them forever. Horrible people. Poor girl. I really hope her life has changed for the better.

The most popular girl in my school used to go to my class. We were never close, but she was never rude to me or any of other girls in school. She never seemed to be even aware of her beauty although she looked like a model. She was a good student too. After high school we lost contact but met again after I married my husband. Turns out she befriended my SIL. She became a lawyer and married a priest (Orthodox church). They have three children. Their child had a heart condition and had to went through a very complicated surgery at the age of four. The whole family was so stressed out. She told me they went through a hell during that time. She was dedicated to her daughter's recovery for years. Luckily, her daughter is well now and my school friend went back to her career as a lawyer.

It's funny, the two prettiest, most popular girls in my HS were best friends. Had known eachother since kindergarten. Only one was incredibly kind and thoughtful and funny and the other was a horrid bully. She used to steal my homework and throw it in the trash just so I couldn't turn it in. She'd spread rumors about anyone and everyone and she was just all around horrible. I had no clue why they got along so well... A few years later I learned the bully's mom had stage 4 and her dad was a neglectful alcoholic. They were friends because the kind girl had always known her, back before everything fell apart and she knew it was just her way of coping. After her mom passed, she reevaluated her life and choices and got her act together. She actually apologized to me once. And today they are still friends and two of the kindest people I know. What she did wasn't right, but it pleased me so much to know she got better and they're both doing well. Ex-bully even has a daughter now, super sweet.

Works at the registration desk at a hospital in the same state, her beauty queen days long over, and hasn't changed her hair or make-up since the 1980s. Still doesn't give "uglies" the time of day. So, same...

*No one* was kind to me in school. I was the scapegoat. At best I was shot some sad, pitying looks, but the "pretty" girls & guys were the worst. One time a bunch of preppy girls ganged up on me in the locker room and basically told me not to wear a shirt because it was a "fake" and it "ruined" the rep of their rich daddies being able to buy the brand, I was such a loser poser (for wanting to fit in, sigh). Eff them all. Oh and they're all doctors, lawyers, politicians. Rich because they *started* off rich.

The popular girl at my high-school was insanely mean....My first day of public school she ran down the hallway with her crew screaming I stuffed my bra in 8th grade, never had a reason to do that.. jelly girl ended up with 4 or 5 baby daddy's, her twin brother equally as popular is on death row....I ran into her at a bar 20 years ago, sorta...She walked up to the guy next to me and said " I have aids, but would you still f**k me?" & then tried to be my new best friend...She and a friend ended up stealing my car that night, and I felt so bad for her, I didn't report it. I was still internally losing it over the second hand humiliation I felt from overhearing her.. I never told my husband at the time exactly what happened, he was away on business & we lived in NYC, so he never even asked. We grew up in an affluent area...where all her Jerry springer came from is beyond me....I'm haunted by it, I've been crazy strict with my daughter as a result.

So I posted up a bit higher about the biggest bully I had as a kid. Now, I had a lot of bullies growing up but she was by far the biggest "Queen B" out there. Caught up with an old friend I went to school with and they told me all about her downfall. 4 husbands, 3 daughters, no real career or hobbies, her daughters were also bullies, and all 3 had kids as teenagers. She's 39 now with 5 grandkids. My friend's story was also really surprising to me. They had what I considered an amazing life growing up. Two parents who loved her, a supportive big brother, her own dog at 10! Anyways, she shocked me by telling me about how she dropped out at 16, got into numerous abusive relationships, hit drugs and alcohol hard, served time for domestic violence, is now 5 years clean, finished her GED, and is now back in college while working part time for her Dad. I just never would've expected her to fall into that life. And yes, her parents blamed associating with me as a kid. Of course.

I have a relative who was the pretty girl. She was a bully and a clique leader. She’s now a nurse, has three baby daddies, and that middle child of hers is a little psychopath.

I studied in two schools. In my first one, a huge Catholic school for girls, there was this girl in my class that was loved by EVERYONE. She was so nice, talented, and had an exotic beauty. Very unique and beautiful. I always thought she was meant to go big in life. Unfortunately, most pretty girls were chased by guys since early age, and most ended up pregnant as teens. This girl wasn't the exception. Got pregnant with a guys that was a terrible person. She raised her kid on her own in our town, never married, she got a family fund so she never worked or studied, she remained pretty and it's a fitness fan. But that's it. It's like she got stuck in life 😕. Maybe she likes her life as it is. But sometimes I wonder how her life would have been if she hadn't been a teen mom...
