Not really.
It is not necessary for the same thing in the same circumstances to happen again, the energy however will reassert itself until properly resolved. Till then it will find new forms.
The setting will change, forms will change, problems recur. If you avoid dealing with certain people, the specific people may vanish out of your life, only to be replaced by all-too-similar people. Similarly, high school is a training ground for social behaviors that will play out during later stages during your life, over and over, too - finding an identity, peer pressure, looking for expression in all kinds of ways, experiencing dependence, a striving for independence... these topics replay themselves over and over in new varieties, posing new challenges out of similar building blocks.
Respite comes from having understood and resolved an energy, having processed and finished it. Till then the discomfort may return to remind you of your unfinished business. Anything else is just temporary respite. Only inner change is reflected as energetic change.
Reincarnation adds an even bigger scope to this. Behaviours repeated over and over, till released. Again, it is an inner change that absolves from repeating the past - even the folly of past lives. Understanding a situation brings the potential for changing it and not experiencing the same again - at least if the resulting actions match the understanding. If somebody is prone to let others take advantage of himself, then the pattern will repeat regardless who is currently taking advantage. If one understands the nature of the exchange then one can start to change it, and if one does the work ("karma" means work) to implement the change and starts to live the change, then the pattern is broken and does not repeat.
The easy way is the hardest if you ask me.
