Did/Will you go to prom?

Post Reply New Topic

I am asking if you went to Senior Prom at your high school?

If you haven't had it yet, will you go?

Wild horses couldn't have dragged me to Prom.

I helped decorate, and enjoyed the daylights out of THAT-- ladders, streamers, wires, tape, balloons, oh my. Wonderful fun.

I probably SHOULD have gone-- I should have stuffed my purse with tissues, taken a good book, and been hanging out in the ladies' room.

But I knew no one was going to ask me, there was no one I wanted to ask, and I didn't want to put on itchy hose and uncomfortable shoes and a stupid dress that I was going to feel like a fool in, then deal with one long string of awkward moments, just for the gratification of having silly upset girls with mascara all over their faces tell me that I was really nice and we should've been friends.

I suppose I'd feel really regretful if someone had gotten raped or killed in a DUI accident or something-- that would have been the other thing I would have been there to try to stop-- but luckily that year no one did. We were a pretty tame class.

I stayed home, got stoned in the woods. I had a much better time.

I went to prom twice, both with friends. First prom was with a friend I had met in the LEO club (Junior Lions Club) second time was a girl from my swim team who I drove home after practice and we hung out on the weekends sometimes. Didn't do anything wild or anything, but it was def worth the exp.

A prom? What's that?

Personally, I wont go. Too much people, lights, people, music, people, not to mention teenagers.

I want someone to give me one good reason I should go And not the ever ambiguous "You might have fun"

Nope. I didn't even bother going.

Because I had nobody to go with...

No one to go with, and not enough money to rent an escort.

I went, but it was pretty boring.

I probably won't.

I didn't go. Part of the reason was that tickets cost, I think, $50 and I didn't have the money. I also used that as an excuse for not going, because I really wasn't interested in going at the time, anyway.

The only thing I regret is that a good friend of mine ended up with a crappy date at the prom, and I sometimes wish I had gone just so that I could have kept company with her. Plus, I've made a lot of progress social-wise since high school, so if I was the same person during my senior year that I am now, I may have gone.

That being said, the fact that I didn't go to the prom doesn't keep me awake at night. Sometimes I forget we even had a prom.

I went, and it was neither great nor awful. Definitely isn't worth the hype; you won't be missing much.

I don't want to, but that could change in a year. I doubt it though.

I did not go, i'm not into the awful music, hate dressing up, had no friends and I think it was $30-40 a ticket. I hated school and the idea of going to the school after hours made no sense in my mind. These days the schools rule and regulate these things so much I doubt they are that much fun. I don't regret it and honestly I don't get why schools hold these things in the first place. The only thing I regret and thats only a little is not attending any of the Battle of the bands, Youtube helped with that though!

Nah, I don't regret it because I didn't have anyone to go with.

I remember being in kindergarten or fist grade and my older brothers and their girlfriends getting all dolled up just to go out to a dance for a few hours and thinking to myself, "When I am old enough for this, I'm not doing it!" I was home-schooled since 5th grade. I got sick around 15 or 16 with an undiagnosed illness and was bed ridden for almost a year; by the time I got better, I had aged out of the public school system and my mom gave up working with me. She told told me to get my GED on my own. I found an alternative school for people who were over the age of traditional school but still never got a diploma or GED. That school didn't offer proms and even if they did, I wouldn't have gone. I didn't go to my graduation either. I'm not blowing $30 to rent a graduation robe, nor am I blowing several hundred on a dress I will never wear again or shoes I can't even walk in.

But no, I never went or even wanted to go to a prom.

From the very moment I knew what “prom” was, I also knew that I would not be going. Sensory nightmare, and no one asking me so I would feel like I had to go. I know I would’ve ended up curled up in a corner facing the wall and with my hands over my ears probably within the first five minutes. I didn’t go to even one dance through junior high and high school.
