Skipping Prom

Post Reply New Topic

I skipped mine. and every other dance high school had. I went to the first homecoming and stood around doing nothing. I dont see what is so fun about wasting money on tickets and stupid dresses that you will never wear again just to stand around listening to horrible music and dancing taking ret*d pictures.

High school was ok...went with someone I knew since childhood who wasn't from my school.

College prom sucked...but I was with my ex ( we are no longer together since the government denied him permanent residency and he has to go back to El Salvador) who wasn't a student there....he was a foreign worker from El Salvador, and my best friend who was in the class who is an immigrant (he has his green card) from El Salvador. We enjoyed the food, then after that we went back to the house,relaxed, then went to Tim Hortons for coffee.....we goofed around in the Tim Hortons drinking coffee and eating donuts for an hour. Never thought sitting in a coffee shop would be more fun than college prom.

I never went to mine. Though I was graduating with people whom, 98% I didn't know. I went and got drunk somewhere else instead.

I went to my junior prom last year (In my school it's called "chalice" because we are given special glasses to commemorate the event as a tradition) and despite not having a date, which like 90% went with somebody, I was the belle of the ball. Everyone loved my dress I got at this one online store known as Unique Vintage which was probably the prettiest dress I ever saw and it was fun.

Senior year, I will definitely want a dress, maybe one like one of the dresses Anastasia wears in the Anastasia movie or something.

I was the only one in my entire year who didn't go to my secondary school's prom.

I didn't want to interact with any of my at the time classmates (if you can call them mates).

I skipped mine too. I moved and switched schools 3 months before graduating so I really didn't see the point. No friends, no date, no desire to wear an overpriced dress or comb my hair, no regrets!

Didn't go to graduation either... saved my parents a lot of money...for the time being

I actually did go to a mine...with a girl even! It was the first and last date I ever went on

I found out the girl only went with me so she had someone to go with....

I did not go to my prom. I have no regrets and cannot imagine ever having regrets in the future, unless I suddenly for some reason become a masochist.

My parents sort of made me go to my equivalent (in my part of Canada, we don't have "proms," but the senior year gets "grad," which is a speeches-type dinner and dance in fancy dress for graduating, which you technically don't do until after the event) because they wanted me to go. My mother made my dress, so we didn't spend anything (practically nothing even on the material, which she bought for pennies from a street vendor in Mexico). I sat with my equally odd friends (not AS, but OCD, social anxiety, that sort of thing) and we spent dinner talking about video games, didn't dance afterward, and took off as soon as we could to spend the night in my friend's basement playing Risk 2210. That was the only good part, to be honest.
(The other kids - and bear in mind, this is a highly-academic school that only accepts the top 100 students in the region, not a general high school - all went to "after-grad," got mind-blowingly drunk and did things too embarrassing even to type. Thank GOD I didn't have to go to that.)

If I'd missed the entire thing (better yet, if instead of going we'd just started playing Risk a few hours earlier), I wouldn't have missed a single thing I'd regret having missed.

i think im the only one in my school who doesnt want to go
