Exams are soon to be over and proms coming...

What is everyone doing for prom?

If your not going why not?
If you are that's great, have a good time.

Anyway I don't know if i should go to prom, I'm having mixed feelings.
One moment I don't want to go because I don't like certain people. But then its the last time with all these people the ones I like and those that i don't.


Is anyone feeling the same?


Had my prom last year; dressed up nice, complimented people I don't like on outfits that were horrible and put up with a great deal of small talk. However if you don't go you will regret it, so many of the people I've known for over 10 years went off to different colleges and 6th Forms and it was really nice to be able to say bye to them all.

Plus all the teachers got absolutely smashed and once all the c**ts of the year left to 'after parties' all the fun people got up and danced Grease Lightning, The Macarena, the Cha Cha Slide etc. and everyone still there had a great time.

Just try and take a hip-flask of vodka with you to make some of the talking more tolerable :smile:

Yeah it's too late, we were supposed to hand in letters to say that we were going a couple weeks ago, and I didn't hand one in. But it's okay because I pretty much don't exist to anyone at my school :ashamed:
Not going. Too much money for something I won't enjoy. I like about 2% of the people attending. It's a huge competition at school. Who has the best vehicle? Who has the best dress? Who has the best hair & make up? Who throws the best after party? Splashing out to be sat in some grimy casino-themed venue with mostly nasty, judgemental teenagers, overpriced food (that I wouldn't even be able to eat because no vegetarian options), crappy disco music, the whole thing just some kind of Miss USA test... No, not my cup of tea. I'd prefer a treat after finishing school, not expensive torture.

Aw thats not true. Why would they think that about you though? :frown: I bet there's at least 1 person who wants to be your friend

Because I don't speak :frown: No one wants to be friends who has difficulties in talking to others :s-smilie:
I didn't want to go to my prom because dressing up just stresses me out, and I just really couldn't be bothered with it - it's not my thing. However my boyfriend at the time wanted to go, and then I got what is in my opinion the prettiest dress I'd ever seen, and I ended up kind of looking forward to it.

Fast forward to prom, I spent the whole first half of the day crying because getting ready was so stressful and I couldn't shave my legs (I still can't, without is being excruciatingly painful and them breaking out in nasty spots), my dress wouldn't stay up, I didn't feel like part of the group, I had no idea how to do make-up (and, you guessed it, I still don't). I ended up going with my then-boyfriend's group and basically ended up barely seeing my friends because they were all on a different table. Everyone left right after the meal to go to a big party so the hotel was practically deserted. The food was so awful that I ate nothing all night, the pictures I sent in for this thingy didn't go through, my then-boyfriend didn't want to dance, then we left around 11:30, had a tiny bit of gin (or tonic, I can't remember), then I got into an argument with my then-boyfriend and slept on the floor.

Basically I felt like crying the whole night. It was nothing like the kind of prom you see on TV, and it just really wasn't my scene. I spent £40 on a ticket, £35 on a dress, and £20 on shoes, and ended up wishing I'd spent it on a telescope or books or literally anything else.

Will I go to my Year 13 prom? Yes. It's supposed to just be a classy dinner - no big dresses or fuss. The only reason I'm going to go is because I want a do-over, and pictures with my best friend, and a night that doesn't make me feel awful looking back at it. And I am bringing a big-ass tuna mayo sandwich with me.

Conclusion: don't not go just because you don't like some people in your year. But if you decide to go, make sure you have some good friends that you can spend it with. Otherwise it will be kind of ****. On the other hand, if you find the idea stressful, like I did, relax at home and do something you like.

:frown::frown: What do you mean by that, I dont quite understand sorry. But you deserve to have friends and I think it's rude of the people around you to just alienate you just because you are quiet.
My prom won't even be that good. It's literally going to be and my friend busting moves on the dance-floor and stuffing our faces with food whilst everyone else stands around the edges awkwardly. Everyone in my school are either boring or high all the time...
