Skipping Prom

Post Reply New Topic

In Australia they're called formals, I wont be going though. What's the point of wasting so much money for a night I'm going to loath when I could buy books with the money instead. Odds are, when it's prom night for me, I'll be on the internet doing things that I enjoy, not dancing or talking, or dating.

I skipped it, I never had any intentions of going. I didn't even go to my graduation ceremony because I don't handle that kind of thing well.

I never had a prom and don't really mind.

I completely regret going to my senior year high school prom. I remember the previous week I had a huge list of songs I wanted the DJ to play which ranged from Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Pantera, Iron Maiden, etc etc etc. I was expecting he wouldn't play any metal but I was kinda hoping he'd play Metallica, AC/DC, or Black Sabbath 'cuz it appeal to some people at least. Then I remember on prom night I met the DJ and he pulled me aside said he got my request and said he would only play stuff that most of the people could relate, so I initially was cool about it, but later on the night, it turned into the worsth night of my life . Most of the music that was played was pure garbage, just annoying rap, dance, reggae BS . I was so f*****g mad by the end of the night, I didn't enjoy myself one bit, though the food there was good, but the music f*****g sucked ass. Prom night was total s**t thx to the bad music. So I was very happy to have graduated high school and I now I prefer a live metal show as opposed to a prom night any day and I now have a group of friends who share my taste in music which also works out great

I skipped it.

I was bullied by a large proportion of my year group. Why exactly would I want to spend time with them in the kind of environment I hate with too many people, too much noise and too much going on? Sounds like a nightmare to me. I have no regrets.

Prom can't compete with this.

God I want to visit Brazil. You know BRazil has a mall dedicated to Heavy Metal, that's right a whole mall. It's in f São Paulo and it's called Galeria do Rock.

I skipped it simply because I avoided all school related social events. I never gave a damn about the prom. As far as I'm concerned, I saved time and money for something better. Some kids paid over $200 for everything, what a waste.

my high school was weird; they had junior prom (11th grade) and senior ball (12th).

beginning of junior year, 2 of my friends found out that i was planning on skipping prom and staying home with a good book ...needless to say, i was forced against my will into a dress and dragged to prom. because it was the 3 of us girls, it wasn't all that bad. i still embarrassed myself by falling twice, but it wasn't too bad.

fast forward to march, senior year: both of my friends who dragged me to prom are gone, one back home to peru, the other graduated and away at college. i thought i was home free; my only friend planning on going to ball had her boyfriend and they didn't want me as third wheel, and no guy in his right mind would ask out the aspie chick who was more of a guy than some of the guys, right? oh how wrong i was. my best guy friend asked me to be his girlfriend. may rolls around, ball tickets are on sale, we're still together, need i say any more? i went...in a dress...and heels...and makeup...and i spent the entire night, besides the last song of course, standing around arguing with my guy friends about cars and talking about martial arts despite not wanting to go in the first place, i had fun. even the last song wasn't the torture i thought it would be (I'll Be is still our song )

I went to proms during my junior and senior years in high school.

The junior prom, I didn't have a date, but I was able to interact with some people and dance with a few single ladies.

The senior prom, my date was a friendly NT girl. She and I danced with each other and had a great time.

I'll be a junior next year. I probably probably want to wear a short, edgy dress insead of a long one like most of the girls at my school. Or be like Samantha Morton at the Oscar's back in 2000: go in a Sex Pistols T-shirt, trousers, and flats (I can't walk in heels).

My friend and I were going to go because it was going to be held on a boat and we wanted to bring fishing poles and fish off the side. But our grade changed our mind about that so we didn't go. I really didn't like my grade anyway and the thought of spending more time than I had to with them in a room with loud music wasn't too appealing to me.

I saw that homecomming wasn't woth the $25 dollars, so I didn't think that prom would be worth it. Plus, I was getting over the girl who rejected me at homecomming.

I went to my senior prom because my friends begged and pleaded with me. I honestly hate parties. Too many people, not enough space, too many emotions and feelings and I always feel trapped. I do like to dress up though (every once in awhile). So I went. I was lucky that the prom was on the top story of a building and had a big balcony that I spent most of my time on, just destressing. If it wasn't for that balcony, I would have hated prom.
