How Many of You DIDN'T Go To Your HS Prom?

Lets see, No Prom, No Dances, No Dates, No Football Games, went my entire Junior year without anyone but a teacher talking to me. I really liked HS.....

I think it isn't that common, but it happens more often than not. I almost skipped senior prom because I was having problems with my girlfriend at the time.

Then I almost skipped the graduation ball because my girlfriend and I had broken up by then.

Hell yeah I went!!! I went with to both my junior and senior proms and had fun at both. The after parties were usually kick ass and lots of sex is to be had. I had so much fun that I have continued to go to proms evern after graduation. This year will mark my 16th consecutive senior prom!!! The proms really start to kick ass after you have been out of school for a few years, and the parties are better too. I have found that since I have been old enough to buy alcohol I have really been a popular party guest!!

Dances can be kind of fun, but not $200 worth of fun. Don't go unless you REALLY can't think of a better way to spend all that money. Don't go because other people are going; get together with friends and have an anti-prom.

Believe me, college is a lot more fun than high school, you will make a lot more memories there.

Good advice from duckshirt. I had intended on going to my Junior prom, but got chicken pox about 4 days prior. then went to my Senior prom and hated most of it, including my date.

**********SPOILER ALERT**********

I tried to find a clip but they apparently do not exist. Weird. I guess the studio does a good job of keeping it offline as it is a newer film.

So the kid gets dumped by his girlfriend (hot, bitchy girl with friends). He mentions it to a guy he works for, and the guy advises the son to take his daughter instead. He shows him a picture of his daughter and she is hot. So he agrees, and then shows up to pick her up and she is in a wheelchair.

He goes anyway, and treats her well despite his old girlfriend making fun of him, socially awkward dancing, etc. He is a stand-up guy.

As he is walking her home through Central Park, they share some champagne out of the bottle and she tells him to sit on a bench and take off his belt. She wraps the belt around a branch on a tree above him and pulls herself onto him and they have sex.

They fall asleep, and the next morning he is scared and walks her home to find her dad waiting. He isn't too mad, but as they arrive at the steps of her townhouse, she stands up, thanks him and walks inside. Apparently she was a method actress practicing for a role.

he walks back through the park, sits back on the bench and there is a great fade out scene to Simon and Garfunkles' "Only Living Boy in New York."

Lots of lessons to be learned...

It is obvious that runners have a hard time socializing with others. No wonder they don't date and hang out alone.I wonder how many runners, not sprinters, never marry? I know several who are in their thirties and forties who have never married. Gay perhaps?

Didn't go to any of mine, but I did go to my girl friend's prom (different school).

F***ing awesome.

Did not go. I would have to say primarily because (1) it costs too much. Not worth it and I saved the money for a legit summer road trip with my REAL friends.

never went

went and wished i didnt

It doesn't have to cost too much. My girlfriend and I split the tickets, we drove ourselves, I rented a tux. I think my total cost was about 60 bucks. It was alright I guess, not that I'm much for proms. Was really pissed that my parents wouldn't let me go to someone's massive party at their shore house, though.

You rented a tux for $60?

1) That was one really sh!ty tux.

2) Did you get it off a homeless person?

3) Salvation Army?

4) Did you buy it when movie tickets were stil 5 cents?

5) You split the cost with your gf? You cheap ass.

It was fine, looked exactly the same as anyone else's tux. Nobody is renting or wearing a great tuxedo for a high school prom. And I can't imagine why the guy would pay for his girlfriend's ticket. If you ask someone to go with you, sure.
