While the cliche stereotype is that pretty people are airheads, the fact is that being popular generally just means having a good understanding of social dynamics. So it stands to reason that the people everyone liked in high school tend to do pretty well in the long run. But how often is that actually true?
Someone asked netizens to share what the “prettiest girl from high school” is up to now and people posted their stories. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to detail your experiences and thoughts in the comments section below.

She died heroically trying to save a stray dog from a flooded river. Normally, I would not mention someone’s name specifically, but Jacqueline Kleine Watts was an honest to goodness heroine and deserves to be remembered.
She spent her last minutes trying to pull a terrified dog from one of the deadliest rivers in my area. After a life seemingly devoted to caring for stray animals.
I did not know her well in school. We did not really move in the same circles. But, when I happened upon the story of her eventual fate, I was duly impressed.

If you mean the vivacious outgoing drop dead gorgeous blond blue eyed 5′8″ 36C-24–35 who everybody lusted over and really knew how great everybody thought she was i’ll tell you
three marriages, 2 divorces, 2 addictions, 3 kids. no education as “who needs an education when you’re as stunning as I am?” no money, no future & looks a very rough 65 at 45.
if you mean the 4′11″ slightly overweight , shy girl with the very thick glasses over exceptionally pretty eyes who you could talk to and who had no idea how beautiful she really was I’ll tell you that too.
one marriage of 25 years, two kids, two grandkids, went back to school & has good career, & who at 47 (much to the delight of her husband) looks like her 23 yr old daughter’s slightly older sibling.

I married her after we graduated college. We have two beautiful daughters after 31 years of marriage. Sadly she died from brain cancer last year at 56 years old. Gorgeous right to the end when she was admitted to the hospital on Memorial Day. Gone before August.

I do work for her pro bono. I used to look after her kids now and again and do chores to help out. On occasion I’d give her a lift to go shopping, drop her at her family’s place, etc. All the stuff that you’d do for a best friend.
And for some reason she keeps insisting we’ve been married since 2001 and all the s**t I’ve been doing is also mine to deal with.
The audacity!

I think I was in class with the prettiest girl in my high school. Her hair were dirty blond, she was tall, she had a beautifull and classy face. Very natual – we are French.
She had opinions about politics and morals, she was authentic. When I was bullied, she was the only one who tried to help.
Now, she works for a NGO. She helps orphans in Asia. I am glad she is still the same, with a big heart.

She’s a doctor and treated my Dad a couple years ago. Of course he called me to tell me that his hot Doctor knew me and I’m an idiot for not marrying her.
