I have a date for my prom. I think she is wonderful but many of my fellow seniors dislike her partially because she is withdrawn. Should I ignore this or try to "convert them" and show how she really is a nice person, even though she has problems.

Ask her how she feels about it. She might be happy to have someone stand up for her, or she might be embarassed to be dragged out into the spotlight.

Considering you're in your seinor year, I wouldn't worry about what your classmates think since you probably won't be seeing them again once you graduate. Screw what everyone else thinks go with your date and have a good time! :)

If you think she's great then don't worry about what anybody else thinks. You are unlikely to ever see most of those other people again after graduation anyway.

If you like her, who cares what other people think.

My senior prom is in May. I am not planning to go because I was already planning on going to this huge party/event I'll have more fun at anyway. I went to homecoming this year. It was okay, but I don't think they are that big of a deal.

prom is a bigger deal at my school because it is a residential school and it is also two days before graduation.

peck her on the cheek in public, a true friend is happy when you are happy. they would want you to have the best time and if she takes it will it will subliminally shoy them that she copes will in these unique situations.

Who cares what they think? I don't know about your school, but most of my "fellow seniors" were idiots.

And if it's 2 days before graduation that's even less reason to be concerened. You'll go to prom with her, then graduate, then what? I'm sure most of those people will be gone from your life. When I was in high school, my girlfriend dumped me because of pressure from her friends (she never admitted it, but I did the math...), and it just ended up hurting me and making her regret it. Go to prom with her. You'll both be happier that way.

I refused to go to prom because I thought it was dumb (although I'm 100% sure I could of gotten a date). As for your situation if you like her you should just let your friends know you like her for who she is, no matter what they think. They'll get the point and leave you and her alone.
