I didn't go to prom, had no one to go with. It kinda worked out in the end though because I never really enjoyed being around lots of people and I know I wouldn't have had much fun!
I waited till I graduated and made up my mind about prom to post here, but I completely forgot about it until I saw this thread reemerge.
I didn't go to prom because I wasn't interested in it for many reasons. I didn't want to be around my classmates since I hate most of them, and I only had one friend to go with (who was considering not going). I never liked social events and I'm glad no one forced me to attend prom, since I thought it would've been a huge waste of time and money for me.
yes I went to my senior prom, it was held at a grand hyatt hotel. rode in a party bus with a few of my schoolmates and had dinner before hand. after prom one of my best friend’s dad had a boat on the docks so we just spent the night there just hanging out. It was alright, I’m not much of a dancer so if I didn’t have a date to go with I probably wouldn’t even have bothered honestly.
I did but everyone else spent hundreds on their dress and mine was £30 from tk maxx, my mum did hair and that was that. Everyone else had makeup artists hairdressers appointments etc and tbh the night was not memorable at all… I have photos but as a night I can’t really remember it
i didn't do, actually not many people went to our prom at all. i think only 15 people went and it was a huge bust. but i ended up spending the night with my friends and used the money we would have spent on prom to buy snacks and rent a movie.
i went to my prom, it wasn’t a massive thing at my school so never felt like i needed to spend a lot of money on it, fortunately as know prom can get very expensive, was just a nice celebration and a night hanging out with friends.
Nope! I do not care about that kind of stuff. A lot of people kept telling me that I was going to regret it and- .. wow.. I haven't!!! regretted!! my decision at all!! hahahaha!!
I went, but it was a pretty awful night. I thought I would spend the night with my "best friend" (at the time) since neither of us had dates, but she ditched me for another group of girls and I felt super alone and awkward. Honestly it sent me into a mental spiral for days after
I went to my EX's prom, that looked like something out of a fairytale. Beyond beautiful. I'm not a big dancer but it was nice. I'm not comfortable around a large group of people
My prom was boring, it was nice having my family there but it's not the same if your friends arnt, they were all graduating the next year. I was super annoyed at my dad who lied to me about how I couldn't invite my friend. It was so lonely and I wanted to be anywhere else.
I thought it sounded dumb so I didn’t go. (No offense to those who liked it.) also all the “Prom?” Stuff and “promposals” were very cringey and annoying.
It also seemed very stressful…a lot of girls left school early to get their hair and nails done for that night, you had to order a dinner ahead of time, etc. It sounded like going to someone’s wedding. But not someone you’re close with, if that makes sense, like a distant relative.
I also didn’t have many friends or a significant other, and the friends I did have didn’t want to go either.
I attended 2 years of prom, because at the time, I was dating a senior when I was a junior. He was an ex that I had a complicated relationship with, but he was very nice to me during both proms actually. So at least I have good memories from them, even though our relationship didn’t end up working out of course. All in all, I actually loved going to school dances, & attended most of them when I was in high school. Good times!
