What did you write in people's yearbook?

I am just wondering what comment people wrote in their peer's yearbooks at the end of year 11/13. The yearbook is something most would keep for a very long time, so what you write can be very precious. Was there a difference in what you wrote between friends and just people you kinda knew? :smile:

My messages differed between each person. To the friends I was really close to I wrote some sweet messages, and they were really long, and mentioning some of the fun times we'd had and any funny stories that had happened in school etc. To people I just kind of knew, I just mainly but the obligatory good luck message :rolleyes:

I wrote different messages for my closest friends, and then just the standard, "good luck for the future!" For the people I didn't really know. All the comments in my yearbook seem so final, I was just reading through the comments then, it's kind of depressing. Someone has wrote; "good luck in the exams, I hope you get to become the bent lawyer you always wanted to be." They haven't left their name though, why do I get the impression they don't like me? :p:

We had a year book that we had a picture of everyone in and I just signed most peoples.

But for our friendship group we had notebooks where we wrote messages in, my ended up being about 10 pages for everyone. So much happened :frown:

I wish I had more friends in Secondary School :frown:

Nobody wrote anything for me :frown:

In the year 12 yearbook I knew people would skip my little profile part so I wrote something horrible.

:frown:

Let's just say Ghandi, Malcolm X and Lennon died for the same pathetic reason...

I wrote on the whole page on one girls and she did the same back on mine =] everyone just wrote a sentance or two about the person in the back and the front and then wrote messeges under their photo and info, some people also pimped the photo of my headteacher, with a santa hat, elf ears and a hitler moustache =/

for close friends i wrote something special and different for each one. like an inside joke maybe. hopefully when they read it 10years later they still remember and laugh. since it was before exams i ended with like good luck for exams. then take care or something sweet.

for random people who asked i just wrote like "good luck for exams. have a good summer. bye!"

It actually depends on who you writing about. For some of my close friends i wrote quite alot of nice and sweet messages, funny stuff that we did togethor etc. And for others just wrote something plain and simple.

For the most part I just wrote; good luck for the future or if they are going to sixth form I just wrote, see you in sixth form. Don't really go for the long messages although I got a few from my mates. :smile:

There weren't many people in my year when I left and I knew them all pretty well, enough to have some funny memory with them so I just made them quite jokey. People wrote jokey ones to me, too, they are fun to read back.

It's mad to believe that you won't ever see half of them again, in fact probably a lot more than half of them; unless you decide to keep in touch. I agree though, they are nice to read back.

At our school people did "leaver's books" instead. They just bought nice books (usually posh sketchbooks) and got everybody to sign them and leave messages.

In Year 11 we all bought notebooks and in Year 13 we had a proper yearbook which a photo of everyone and a space next to it to write in. For most people, I just wrote the standard 'nice knowing you, good luck for the exams/future' messages, but for close friends, I made the more personal.

For the end of yr 11 yearbooks i wrote fairly long bits for each person, usually involving an anecdote of a happy/funny time

I tended to just warble on for an A5 page about how X was such a great student, friend and fellow classmate to have around during the years that we had known each other. Of course though, for those whom i had a better relationship with, more personal anecdotes and notes where added. Nothing sentimental, because we must all be manly. *coughs ... manly*

The entire year was wasted when we got our yearbooks so everyone's is full of drunken jibberish.
