Prom

Post Reply New Topic

I'm going cuz my gf wants to. Hopefully it's not lame like Homecoming. At least one thing will be good though: I rented a black pinstripe zoot suit tux for it with a hat .

The outfit rocks.

I didn't go with a date, I went with my best friend from another school (Who was also dateless) She didn't want to go to her prom, so we went to mine together. Our picture is of us hugging. I didn't take it as seriously as a lot of the other girls...I sewed my own dress, got my hair done for $10 at my sisters friends moms home-owned salon...my friend wore fairy wings with her dress....

But the difference with us was, we actually had *fun* About 10 minutes after we got there, we noticed no one was dancing and we got up there and were the first ones to do so...I guess seeing a girl in fairy-wings and black lipstick dancing made everyone feel a little less shy. We were like little girls playing dress up and throwing a party...and for our "after prom" dinner, we went to Denny's and got breakfast stuff. We didn't go broke, and we weren't full of disappointment over a night that didn't meet our expectations.

Prom sucks, and all the douches at school suddenly think less of me because I said I think prom is lame when someone asked me to go.

I didn't go. I could have had a date, but it just was no big deal to me. Why pay that much for something I won't enjoy but probably hate?

I never went to a school dance or to a prom and didn't miss anything in my opinion. I hate being in crowds, especially with people I don't like who don't like me, so why would I have wanted to go?

I was first exposed to all of that dating, school dance/prom stuff in 8th grade, my one year in public school. They had school dances and even an 8th grade prom. I thought all of that was stupid and didn't participate in any of it, nor did I have the desire to. The result was I got subjected to alot of tormenting from my fellow students.

When I went to a different school for 9th grade, I hoped I'd be rid of all that nonsense because I was in a different school, but it was only worse, and I got tormented even more because of it. Even when a couple of girls pretended they wanted to go to a school function with me when they really didn't want to and I caught on to it and refused from the get go, I still got ridiculed, which would have happened if I'd gone along with it and got stood up. I just couldn't win.

I know others who did go to their prom and couldn't figure out what the big deal about it all was. To them it was just an overpriced, overdressed, school dance, and nothing more.

Getting out of high school was the best day of my life because I no longer had to deal with all the nonsense from the students, faculty, and administration I'd spent the last several years dealing with.

Okay, here's an update. I found out that my church is holding a prom for homeschooled-only kids (it also includes me since I'm techinically homeschooled after school at school) so if I don't find a date for my school's prom, I can do the church's prom. I'm going over to Castleton (Indy's big shopping area) next Thursday to get a dress and accessories! The only place I can recall having dresses small enough for me is Sak's Fifth Avenue so hopefully they'll have some again since that was New Year's. My mom said price won't be a problem so at least that helps the situation a lot! I can't wait!

Prom tickets here went on sale for 60$, instead of 70. It's going to be on a boat or something and there's going to be fireworks. I'm not going.

My parents are trying to bully me into going . I almost feel like telling them I have AS just so they'd get off my back, but they'd just say I was lying.

my high school formals were lame.

college is cooler. much cooler. people actually go to them...of course they're the weekend right before finals, so its a good reason to go.

We don't have proms at our high school here. And if we did, I'd NEVER go to it.

I got stood up at my prom.
