I honestly don't want to go :shock: . I'm old enough to go.. I just don't want to. First of all I don't know anyone that I would want to go with; I don't like many girls at my school. If I did know someone who I would like to take I would consider going though. Second of all the only reason I would go unless I liked a girl would be to go just so I can say "Yeah I'm going to prom," and not feel like a stereotypical nerd who didn't go to prom in highschool. But I decided I don't care. Third of all, from what I have gathered from other people:

 

-You spend 30 minutes to hours taking pictures, but I guess it depends on how girly the girl is, or how annoying the parents are :D

 

-You have to spend a ton of money, which isn't too big of a deal, but worth noting.

 

-The dancing. I heard at our prom, mostly there are ©rap songs and people dirty dancing most of the time, with the occasional slow dance song, which usually sucks since it might be sung by some crappy artist that teens today love.

 

It just doesn't sound like any fun to me. If I liked someone I would much rather just have a nice evening with just the 2 of us, maybe at a nice restaurant or something like that.

 

 

 

That's just my view on prom :?

That is exactly what I would have said last week. But I've got a feeling its worth the risk.

Well I went to meet my date's parents last night at a party they were having. Her dad grilled me for like 10 minutes (luckily I have a 4.0 and plan to attend college). I haven't called her yet to see if he completely approves.

 

 

 

:x

Lol, you should've at least had the guts to ask the girl out yourself. No prom for me til my final year.

Hope you "win" the dad's approval! At least you're in good shape :)

Im not allowed to my prom (Im in the UK) because of certain implications :twisted: but no one will dance at ours... just do some buckets and get wrecked 8) american proms look boring because everyone just dances.. and well.

Nothing boring about dancing :D

But the dancing was so fun! I think it was because I, along with everyone else, could not dance. :P

It is especially great when the majority of the people can't dance. :D

 

 

 

This was our prom last year. I was a freshman, and i went with a senior. :P How cool am I? The guy is my boyfriend, also known as Bloodmourn on these forums.

 

 

 

:arrow: This years prom is in like two weeks, i think. I'm not going, I have to wait till next year......

That'd be me on the beautiful lady's arm. :D I'm just waiting for her next prom, when I can pull out all the stops. :wink:

Not sure when prom for my school is... no matter though, im not going... hell i didnt go to homecoming, toga, or any of that sh it... my school seems to love dances.... (i hate them :\ )

I wish my school had toga parties! :D

 

 

 

Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!!!

my highschool as a "prom" for each grade: freshman dance, soph cotillion, junior prom, prom... my cotillion (im in 10th) was like 2 monthes ago

 

 

 

i was planning on asking someone when i heard she already had a date... so i went alone

 

 

 

i found out she actually wasn't asked and didn't go :x i was po'ed... take your chances when you can :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

it was fun nonetheless, lots of my friends came. we had an "asian" corner composed of males and females... which eventually merged :P

my prom is on may 6th

 

 

 

my school is known in our town for the biggest parties

 

 

 

ne ways i am going with a girl that is not my girlfriend yet, but she will be after prom :P

 

 

 

here what my school does on the night of prom

 

 

 

 

 

before prom- pictures, dinner,drink,get high

 

during prom- dance like crazy, hang / talk with buds

 

after prom- party till 5 in morning, get drunk,get high, pass out, end up at home or friends house somehow.

 

 

 

thats what alot of my m8s did last year for 11th grade prom

 

nows its my 12th grade prom so we gonna do a lil more this time

 

 

 

going with same chick also.

 

 

 

 

 

her dress- Silver

 

My tux- black tux silver vest white dress shirt under the vest and a silver tie with black trim, pimp hat :P

 

 

 

we any the girl and bunch of her friends and mine are going to prom in a hummer limo :shock:

A tux is a suit with a bowtie right? I don't think thats a good style for me.

Actually it's a suit with a vest or a cumberbund.

And it doesn't necessarily have to have a bow tie either...

 

 

 

 

 

There are a ton of different fashions of tuxes, just go to your local tux shop and check them out :D

I hate prom-party's...

 

 

 

Been there once, but everyone got drunk in no time at all. (you're allowed to drink at 16 here)

 

 

 

Besides it's so boring. Bad music, too many people and some stupid tiara for the king and queen. I rather die than ever put one of those on my head. Let alone the silly dress I had to wear.

 

 

 

Never again for me :?

Don't proms just single out the people who can't get dates?

 

 

 

And before anyone bothers to post suggesting I only mention that because I can't, there has only been one 'prom' in my life and I went with my long term girlfriend.

It doesn't really single people out, because many people go with best friends or in groups.

 

 

 

 

 

Prom is tonight! :shock:

One of my date's best friends got stood up by her date. I danced with both of them, nobody really cared. Prom was very fun for pretty much everyone involved. You don't go to Prom to fulfill some social requirement, you go to have fun.

My comment was based purely on what I've seen on american TV and films, where a few weeks before 'prom night' its like "omgomgohnoes must get a date for the prom, who r u goin wif? who are u goin wif? i wanna go wif valerie but im too scared to ask lollers!"

Times have changed. A lot of people DO go with dates, but there is a large group of people that go with friends -- there's no need for a date! (Though it may make some people much more happy with a date)

Or what happens a lot of the time now is people will go with "dates" who are just friends. Then 3 or 4 couples who are all just friends go in a big group together and the "date" part is really only to get cheaper tickets (it's cheaper to buy couples tickets than singles tickets usually).

My year's prom at school was in 2002. I went with a few mates. It was alright, nothing too special. People kept asking me to go get them drinks because I was one of only a few who were 18 at the time. It was also funny to see the staff getting drunk :wink:
