Yes, you sound emo. :D Just kidding bro.
Fuck prom, and fuck all those goofy kids. Let me tell you something, high school is nothing. Being popular, being invited to parties, being accepted among judgemental, know it all prep fucks, has 0 influence on how the next step in your life is going to be. What matters is that you graduate, and do the best you can while you were stuck in that shitty place.
None of the things you mentioned has any relevance to what is coming after school. Most people take a year off after HS before college, some go none at all, but if you are graduating HS, I strongly reccomend you go to college. I'd take a year off if it was me. Maybe find a job and get some good work exp. under your belt, and money for the upcoming year(s) at college.
So you know what, I wouldn't even worry about those kids. Who cares if you don't have a date, who cares if you don't go a party after. None of that shit matters in real life. High school isn't real. It's what comes after HS, that is real.
If I had a prom though, I probably wouldn't even go. Getting all dressed up to dance to shit music with people I don't even like that much. Fuck that shit! High school sucks. Now college kicks ass! It did for me anyways, and I'm going back in March. That's where the fun and nice people are. People aren't as judgmental in college, as well, they're mature, and the ones who stay the same, they usually get laughed at and outcasted.
I've babbled on enough. Fuck them and fuck prom. Just stupid kids acting like drunken morons.
prom was funny for me, I went because this hot chicks didnt get asked, so i took her(more or less for her sake.) Then after the whole prom thing was over and having spent some time with her later that night, I asked her out on anohter date and she agreed. Apparently other people found out and went around spreading rumors that I had said her and I were "going out". so It fucked it all up, but other than that I had fun and danced with tons of chicks. But there were jsut as many people who didn;t have fun...subjective I guess.
i don't believe i've ever went to any school 'function'...
Basically, everything about prom sucks besides all the well-manicured people attending. Everyone usually looks great. And the parties. The drinking is fun, too.
It's not a big deal if you don't go, but you only get a couple chances to go to one in a lifetime, ya know? It's the experience really...being with your friends and having a good time. If you can do that without spending a couple bills on a tux and dinner and being forced into hearing cheesy 80's love balads, by all means, do it.
My senior year, I fucked up by not asking my best friend (a girl ;)) when it turned out she was totally into me and I couldn't see it. Haha, I'm still kicking myself for that one.
Either way, don't stress about getting a date JUST yet. I'm guessing there's still plenty of time, so don't feel bad. I waited forever, too. ~
Meh. prom is gay, pat is gay, I think it'll work out!Quote:

Not going to mine.
I can't because I was kicked out of school and I'm not allowed to go back. That and the fact that all my friends have either dropped out and moved away or...yeah thats pretty much it most of my friends dropped out so there would be no one point in me going I suppose...
I agree with the Plant...it's definitely a once in a lifetime experience that whether or not you admit it...you might regret not going at some point later in life. Of course there's nothing wrong with not attending...but hey...why the fuck not. If anything...food...dancing...music...all your friends and people you grew up with (or not). I guess just take a little more time to think about it (this goes for everyone). Prom is kinda a pain in the ass in many respects...but like Plant said...it's really just about the experience.Quote:

I don't know about now but back then, in the mid '80's, everyone went to "The Prom", even us stoners. Like Mac and Plant have said, it's about the experience. And, I'd be willing to bet that if you asked 100 people in their 30's who did go, and 100 people in their 30's that didn't go, a lot more people would regret not going than going.
I don't regret not going at all, but I could understand maybe feeling regret if I actually gave two shits about the people I went to high school with. Quite frankly, they were pretty much all assholes to me. The best part of my graduation was knowing that I would never see most of those fuckers again.
