i didnt go to my year 10 or 12/ final year formal. the idea of dressing up formally disturbs me. i would have been expected to wear a dress(white for purity
) and heels and make up
when i wouldve felt more comfortable in a mens tux. So would I. I actually half-jokingly mentioned that possibility at the time and people looked at me like I was nuts.

with my family that wouldnt be possible. also dont feel comfortable with the large crowd and loud music at those kinda things. plus i would have had to dance with my dad. i dont like touching him. nor did i particularly care about the people in my year or they for me and i would have felt uncomfortable and bored hanging with them. and when i say with i mean in the same room. i wouldve ended up sitting by myself while everyone danced and talked together. or crying in the toilet. either one. i feel sorry for my friend. she was pressured into doing all of the above even though she hates it. she even untied her hair. she never does that. she wouldnt even let us see pics of her with her hair down. money and time isnt worth it. i stayed at home and did something i have no recollection of. hell of a lot better than going.
I agree completely. Those are just some of the reasons I didn't go to mine.
