N-N-N-NECRO'D!
I always think of Combo Breaker when someone necro's a thread.



But anyway.
The answer is no. I did not go to prom.
I was home-schooled.
The guy that did ask me to his prom, I said no to.
What a waste of time.

Nope, didn't go to prom or the "prom-a-romma" post-prom party either. My high school was very segregated socially if you didn't have a group AND didn't have a significant other you were the lowest life-form. If that weren't enough incentive, unlike many of my classmates I had a job and was scheduled to work a fundraiser/banquet the same day/evening as prom. Crazy to think my 10 year High School Reunion is coming up soon...so not going to that either.

I'm probably the only one here who regrets that I did not go to prom. Like most of you had mentioned, in high school I was surrounded by people who I didn't want to be around. I didn't go to prom, and I didn't regret it at first. Lots of prom pictures were downloaded on Facebook of many of my friends. As I looked through them these past weeks, I regret that I could have had such a fun time. I have many friends from different high schools. What I wish had happened was that I could go to a prom of a different high school, where there were people I would've actually like to have fun with

Lesson learned. When in college, take advantage of opportunities available to get to know others around you because you may not come across them when you get older.

For those of you who have completed High School, did you bother attending your Prom?
If you did, why? If you didn't why?

I did because my mum wanted me to go and not miss out, as did my friends. I didn't like it at all and sat at a table with friends, ate nothing and hoped time would pass faster so I could go home.

I went with a large group of people who got exceptionally frisky as the night went on, and I ended up growing more and more annoyed as they continued grinding up against me while I stood there refusing to dance. I kind of regret going to prom, and if it wasn't for the delicious chocolate covered strawberries it would have been a total bust.

And now for the prom pictures!!!!! :D

I'd start but I don't have mine on hand.

Mine are buried somewhere. Besides, you all REALLY do not want to see some dated crap from 1989 anyway ... lol

Go to college, or date someone who does, and you'll go to prom-styles events that are like that. The people will be nicer, too!

I grew up in a country that didn't have proms. Proms were something you saw in American movies. At the end of high school, you got your diploma in a ceremony, and then there was a party I didn't go to - "thank God I'll never have to see these people again!" I couldn't wait for the moment when I didn't have to see those people again. I had only two friends in high school, plus my sister who is three years younger.

I came to the U.S. for college (and to ensure that I never ran into the high school people again), and went to two "semi-formals" like that that were thrown by a service organization that my then-boyfriend belonged to (the INTJ I mentioned in another thread). I'll dig up the photo from one of them and scan it in, since y'all are talking photos. I just had to buy a dress, a purse, and a necklace the first time. I wore the same outfit for the second one. Didn't do much with make-up or hair. I still have the cute purse, and the dress is in the closet but it's a size 10 and now I'm not!

I still enjoy "Pretty in Pink", and Iona's funny comment about her friend who didn't go to the prom.
