Did you attended your school prom?

Post Reply New Topic

I went to a private high school for my junior and senior year, and there were less than 200 students in the entire school. I had practically no friends and was planning on not going to prom, but people kept telling me I should go. I found out about two weeks before prom that I was nominated by my teachers (the teachers did all the nominating at that school) for prom queen, so I thought, "I know I'm not gonna win, since I'm invisible in this school, but I'll go anyway just in case." Besides, I knew if I didn't go I'd wonder for the rest of my life what it would have been like. I now had two weeks to prepare for prom, but luckily everything worked out well. I found the perfect dress, and got my hair and nails done. I didn't have an actual date, but a close (female) friend of mine and I decided to just consider each other our dates. Anyway, much to my shock, I wound up being voted prom queen. I thought that was pretty cool and to this day if I think about prom, I think of how odd it was that I was prom queen after all those years of being teased by my peers, and then being a loner throughout high school.

i wen tot prom but i found myslef being self conscious about having so much skin showing with a dress (i usually wear pants and sweatshirt lol). i didnt want to dirty dance which was like all anyone was doing... its all you really COULD do to the music they wer eplaying... my date was really nice and i enjoyed being around my friends, especially the ones that were going to college, but i wont be going to prom again this year probably. just not my thing

I'm almost the same; except for the fact that our band never held a casino night or anything like that. I usually like to go to band functions because there are people there that accept me for who I am, the band director is nice to me, and I like music. I like going to pep band games with the band as well as our annual band trip; it's a really awesome band program, and it has an awesome alumni program as well. I never went to prom or any big dance before at the high school; I don't know if I'd want to go, since our school never does huge stuff for prom (for years they didn't even have food). I had a boyfriend who said that my senior year that we'd go to prom, but we broke up sometime in October; it was sort of sad, yet I feel that it was the right thing to happen because I was getting to the point of where I couldn't stand being around people all the time and less trombone. But I liked him; it wasn't an extremely serious relationship, yet we were together for about 1 1/2 to 2 years. Anyways, I'll probably never go to prom or anything. I'd rather do stuff with the band.

Why that's incredibly Carla!

You're a prom queen!

I did not go to my prom. I did not plan on going to prom. I would have had someone to go with (since I started dating my best friend about a month after, and she mentioned at least once her disappointment that I didn't go.) Plus I certainly could have afforded it (I like to count my money pile.) For me it was that I didn't enjoy student run events. I certainly didn't like the student council types at my school. There wasn't any reason I coulc convince myself that I would want to go. (I hate popular music, drinking, and being around jerks.) I can't remember what I ended up doing that night, but it was probably working. Honestly I've never regretted my decision not to go, and I think it will be a surprise if I ever did. (Going on 3 years since I graduated.)

I went to my junior prom, skipped my senior. I had a plesent enough time. Was in building trades, so was excited to be able to build the bridge for our picture's area. Juniors were in charge of planning and setting up prom, so, I was very involved in both. We rented a big log cabin, and had to go clean and set-up a few hours before prom started. (There was a LOT of cleaning to do.) I didn't really have a date..went with my best friend at the time michelle. We got dressed up and ate dinner at the local bar before prom. We never really did dance. Spent most of the night in a back room playing cards and chatting and eatting all the strawberrys and snacks. After prom we spent the entire night in the school gym/cafateria playing games and eatting. We were locked in until morning. We had a raffle, and everybody got to win something. I won a small fan, that I absolutly LOVED. (Wanted the freezer though). Overall it was a good time. Don't remember why I skipped senior prom, just didnt feel like going. Remember spending entire night online at home :l

I went to prom my senior year with a date and two friends. I actually didn't know my date. My friend David was the guy who organized our group outing. He said, "Hey, I know this really nice girl who would love to go with us." So, a couple weeks before prom she stopped by my work and we talked briefly. She seemed normal and nice enough. When I finished, I went and met her family. I picked her up on prom night and we met up with my friends David & Lizzy. We ate some really good (and expensive) French food and chatted. I found out that my date was thirteen years old! Then, we went to the prom itself, did a little dancing; I mostly hung out with my geeky friends and my stoner friends. Then we went to the high school where there was a lock-in with games and stuff. In the morning I drove my date home and didn't really have much contact with her after that. Overall, it was okay. It's fun to occasionally get really dressed up and act classy.

No, because I didn't go to a school that was "Americanised", such as the ones from U.S. of America, Canada or Austrailia, and I was not interested in that crap.

In the UK, the youth get better acquainted by binge-drinking and having drunk sex, hence the high percentages of pregnancies and STDS.

You just gotta love Great Britain. *salutes*

I didnt go or even care about it wearing uncomfortable cloth and going somewhere there were lots of people I didnt know or like didnt realy appeal to me. I dont even think I knew the excate date that it was plus it would have been too loud. So i never even considered it.

I felt the same way about high school and teenagers. Same with the social structure, made no sense to me at all. I never dated in high school as I had no desire to. I never really saw the point of it. I probably didn't have much chance with any of the girls there anyway, mainly because of the social structure. I wasn't involved in sports or extracurricular activities or anything like that, so I was pretty much off limits to girls there, that's how that school was. It never bothered me though, socializing never meant that much to me at that stage in life.

God Bless the UK.

Yeah I went, and I wasn't a fan of it. I went with my boyfriend at the time and I spent the whole night running away from him because I didn't want to see him.. which wasn't the best thing to do. I did have a bit of fun but it was ruined by my depression at having seen my ex hook up with girls right in front of me. I danced a bit with my girlfriends and it was alright when I was with them because we had fun talking and that kind of stuff, the after party was pretty good and it wasn't totally horrible... It just wasn't the best night. I had higher expectations due to the previous years ball being alot of fun. The thing I enjoyed most about it was my pair of shoes.. sad, I know.

My school's prom happened six months ago and that is precisely my justification for not going. Well put.
Unfortunately I 'accidentally' asked the sister of my best friend to go. Either she read me wrong or I wasn't careful enough with my words. I would have actually gone with her if I'd had to go, but I ended up just denouncing the pointlessness of it all to her and so got out of it.

What about Home Coming?

I didn't have a Date, but I went to my Prom, anyways. I didn't really enjoy it. I was in a rush to get home, because the movie, Woodstock was on Much Music, and I wanted to skip all the comercials, as I was taping it. You wouldn't have wanted to have known me, back in 1993. I was a cynical Hippie, and I felt that there was no hope in me ever getting my life back on track. Getting back to the topic, a Prom is pretty boring without a Date.
