I think prom is a farce. Sure, it might be fun, but basically it is just a costume ball in which women are all reduced to Barbie and prance around in satin and tulle looking like "princesses".
I don't mind the idea of getting dressed up and prancing around, but i don't want to have to bring a guy that i have to babysit all night. everyone at school it planning for it and we just keep getting into arguements. ugh.
Although I love idea of getting all dressed up for prom and arriving in limos,wearing high heeled shoes, and beautiful dresses I somehow can't see myself being there. I would feel awkward. At my school prom is basically a night where students, mostly senior students, get dressed up, go a really corny school dance and then go out to a huge party and get plastered. Something doesn't seem right about this. My suggestion is to have a MORP. Hold an evening with a few friends (both male and female)where everyone dresses in nice but comfortable clothes and pigs out and then dances the middle field to their kind of music. No high heels, no sappy decorations, and no stereotypes to live up to.
I love the idea of prom. i am going this year and i do not see it as bad thing at all. It is a night to put your best foot and face forward. Maybe you do need to to look like a barbie, but the guys have to look like ken. I don't know, there is just something wonderful about all the glamor and glitz. You do not have to spend a fortune to have fun for prom either. What my friends and i are doing is go as a group. We are going to eat at a nice restaraunt and then we are going to go goofy golfing and bowling and stuff. We will then arrive at prom in time enought to dance an little and watch the crowning of the court. Then we will go home and sleep. Who wants to go out and get plaster...i odn't knpw about you all, but i tend to like to remember what i was doing. People who go out and get plastered sdon't realize how much fun you can have without alcohol! If you don't want to go straight home after prom...have a monty python marathon at someone's home...
Well, the only problem at my school is there virtually is NO prom. The prom "itself" is only for cheerleaders and jocks, basically--the popular crowd. Not to complain, but a "wyrdgrrl" like me doesn't quite fit into that crowd....so I'll go out, hang out with my best guy bud(who is not also going to prom), and have a great time! The dressing up part sounds like a blast and doesn't bother me, but the whole "popular-girls-judging-every-other-girl-socially-throughout-the-whole-dance" gets on my nerves!
We don't have a prom thingy here, but I think the idea is awesome!! I'd love to wear a beautiful dress and heels and dance around with a guy in a tux. But I'm sure I'd be *so* stressed out over the whole need-a-date thing, so that's a little pressure off. What I would like to do, instead of a prom is what Keely said, get a bunch of friends together and go out for a night on the town!! You know, really posh restaurant, musical/opera/play, uh... coffee afterwards, and just have fun! Stay up way late just walking around, looking at the scenery, or go back to someones house for a movie and pizza!! That's what I wanna do! It'd probably cost a heck of a lot of money, but if you save up, it'll be worth it.
Whether it's the official prom or unoffical gatherings w/friends, I highly recommend doing something fun on Prom Night. While you'll still keep in touch w/your friends after graduation, etc., it's nice to have a big night out before everyone goes their own ways.
Why does everyone think that you need a date to go to prom. GROUPS ARE MORE FUN!!! At my school the only reason you would need a date is if you are not a junior or senior but you want to go to prom. I have a little thing that bugs me...why are freshman allowed to go to prom as dates of upper classman? They act so immature. Prom was not designed for them. it was designed to be a last formal get together for juniors and seniors. Freshman ruin it. I in no way mean to insult lower classman, but Prom is just not meant for them. They can not appreciate the true meaning it has. ::::getting off soapbox::::
Hey, freshmen are way annoying anyways!! We should take them all, and stick them on some deserted island for a few years. Either that or kill em off!!! They're always in the hall, taking up space, and it's so annoying how they're all "oh my god i have a test next!!" as if their tests are so hard. Plus, we all laugh at them when they sprint to class so they wont be late. I hate them!!
freshman year was so traumatic, when i look back on it, i am amezed that i survived :)
I do think being a freshman was traumatic...you find out that you weren't as grown up as you thought you were...which is precisely why a freshman shouldn't be at prom. i think it is especially bad when fresman date seniors...that is four years difference in age. That would be no big deal if they were 20+, but at the young ages of 14 and 15...there is just a really big difference in maturity when the average senior is 18 or 19.
I had a pretty ok time at my prom. I went with a bunch of friends and we basically just hung out, danced with each other and made fun of people who took the night wwwwaaayyy too seriously. But I'd have to say if I had a choice for that night over again.. and watching MONTY PYTHON with friends.. MONTY PYTHON would win!!!
wow. I'm trying to decide if I should go to my prom this year...god, there have been so many good opposing arguments, I just don't know if I'll go or not. Never been to Prom, thought it might be fun...haven't decided yet...
i'd personally rather save what money i have in my boyfriends bank account (to give us that kooney togetherness feeling) and horde it away until Warped Tour time comes around when I would then gleefully and unlabelled and fully self confident go to Toronto to bask in the sweat and glow of fellow dislikers of the grads/proms.
Prom!? Oh God! Let's not get into that! I hate Prom or any other school dance.
you know my friends and I found the solution to Prom. (smile) we all had fun getting dolled up and then all went together as friends, girls and guys... you didnt have to have a date. you werent even supposed to have a date. you were just supposed to have fun. We had a few guy friends come with us and we all sort of passed them around and just had fun. Nothing serious (unless you and he were) it was just fun and games and we all had dinner and dressed up cause we felt like it... it didnt matter what the rest of the school thought because we knew our friends and were with them... and we had a blast. I'd recomend it... as long as you have fun you're probably a step above the rest of the crowd (smile) It may not be a surefire cure but it worked well for both my junior and senior proms. Have fun gals that's all I can say
i hate prom. my school is starting to sell tickets to prom tomorrow - a month and a half before the actual big event. My friends are obsessed with what to wear, who their dates will be, who they wish their dates were, and what we will all do after prom, etc...
ARG! My school's semiformal is coming up, and I am not going. Partly out of protest, (because everyone is acting so stupid about it) but mostly because its my friend's birthday and I'm spending it with her instead. All anyone talks about is dates, limos, and drinking. I don't have anything against drinking, but i feel so left out. I don't regret choosing not to go, but i feel so..out of it. This is all anyone talks about...during class, during lunch, during frees... I CAN NOT wait until its over and everyone sees how overrated it is.
I've always dreamed of going to Prom....my dream date, what I would wear, my hair, make-up, etc. Now, the opportunity is there for me to go, and I'm thinking suddenly that I shouldn't bother. I've been spending so much of my time lately worrying about who I'm going to go with, that I've become frustrated, and almost have decided it's not worth the trouble. I'm sure lots of girls go through this sort of thing....at least the ones without steady/built-in dates. That's another thing I don't understand....how girls my age can have steady boyfriends who they seem to be in love with. I just don't understand (or, is it just that I'm jealous) that these girls actually *found* their soulmate or semi-soulmate. It's really frustrating, and Prom is almost an event strictly for those couples.
Hiya
So, assuming you've decided to go......
As much anti-social I am, I think I would like to swallow the opportunity of attending my senior prom with a friend or a special date or even in a myriad of close gurl friends. It's supposed to be a sparkling event as a last moment to close your high school years (and nightmares) nicely so you can have at least a good memory (hopefully) in your history before you ship off to college. I used to spit at the concept of going through the expensive fuss of getting all jazzed up for the prom but I don't have to have a miserable time.
at my school prom is the biggest thing in the world. it is more important than the sat's. it is horrible. and if you have the mindset that prom is stupid, you are considered to be an idiot. i am not going. my boyfriend and i are not going to go to my prom or to his prom. i am not going to spend 100 dollars on an ugly dress and ugly shoes and spend all that money on hair and stuff to hang out in a sweaty room with hundreds of people that i hate. i would rather sit at home and sleep. with my boyfriend, preferably, but whatever, because prom is out of the question.
Que, if i were you, i would take the nerd you have known for a long time...you are much less likely to end up miserable...and more likely to really really have a good time...even if he can't dance...at least you can laugh together about him trying!
Prom?Yeah,I'll probably go.I'll probably buy a pink dress,and I'll probably rip it up at the last minute.I'll probably wear some big ugly shoes that don't match,and I'll probably still spike my very short hair up(like it is now).And through all of this,I will prove a point:You don't have to be pretty and flirty and skinny to have fun.These shoes,this dress,this hair,this is me,this is who I am,and if you don't like it,then fuck you.
Here's the ultimate divide:
no no no HappyFace... try this
OH GOD ELISTE< that's AWFUL!!!! You poor grrl J
Que I think its perfectly natural to ask him... this is the 90's... we gals sometimes HAVE to take things into our own hands to get what we want. besides... if you ask then you dont have to go with someone your friends set you up with the day before prom because they were feeling sorry for him... add that to my list of nightmares for that junior prom LoL
I've been two three high schools now, and I have decided that there are two ways schools deal with Prom:
we had our grad friday and everyone got all worriedfor nothing..it wasn't what i expected...as a kid you watch these movies with someone graduating and everything seems to be set into perfect motion when this "dreamy" guy asks the girl to the prom..then everything falls into place..meanwhile here in my reality...we rushed around friday to get everything done broke up with a boyfriend or two broke an ankle got food poision an a vicious tattoo of a naked women with a snake biting her ass on the neck...the only particullary fun part was just my friends..who i must say were absolutly gorgeous..i never see them in anything but jeans and sweatshirts but top hats tails gowns and diamonds..WOW..anyhow..this is usuelss and nothing of importance...
Today i hate prom. All my firends are in a huge fight because one person said they would go to the prom with another even though she was already going with someone else. And then he told the person that she was going with before that he was going with her and then she found out and got mad at him so now everyone is taking sides when it's realy both people's fault and i hate it. i am caught in the middle..... they are both my friends and I HATE PROM!!!
The whole idea of prom makes me nauseous. It's disturbing to see society put so much stress on teens to be social and have a boy/girl friend. It's bullshit and I don't need or want to participate. And I wish people would stop asking me why I'm not going. Its like everyone is deaf when I tell them that I don't want any part of the event. I'm the "reject" but like I really give a crap anyways. If people want to judge me because of what I believe or in this case don't believe in thats their problem.
To me, Prom seems like a non-reality. I mean, like, I couldn't even imagine myself going anymore. It's not that I don't like any guys in my school, but that I just guess it;s not my *thing*. SKAletter: I know what you mean....everyone is in disbelief that I wouldn't want to go to my *junior prom*....as if I would miss out on it if I really wanted to go!!!!
I didn't get a chance to read all of the messages - but if you really loath the idea of prom - use it to make a statement. If you hate the frilly dresses - wear a pants suit. If you hate the cliques - bring your own alterna-friends. I even had a friend who brought her girlfriend to the prom and they had a wonderful time (oh - my friend was female too). i think the key is to just go and be yourself - who ever that may be
I doubt it that I would cherish the notion of goign to *my* high school prom in a puffy dress with a pair of nylon stockings that turn my thighs morallo cherry. Ew. But guess what.
Zooey, I think that is just SO cool!! I hope you have lots of fun!
What's wrong with this picture?
I like to dress up and be glamourous sometimes but I still don't like the prom idea. I think there is a lot of pressure to go with someone and I doubt I could find anyone. At the school dances I've been to people just hang out in their cliques anyway. Not much fun!
Here's an idea for Prom Dress-one word: Bloomers. I mean it's still an old-fashioned dress, but it's comfortable and has a message.
Okay so after much complaining and worrying I went. Without a date. Arrived by myself. But had a blast. it really is more fun by yourself! Everyone else had to worry about..... just stuff... and i was stress free. I dressed differently than everyone else. I had a very Midevil dress and my hair was really, really curly and down. The food was pretty good, and the decorations were really cool. My feet bled from my shoes, so i only wore them for about an hour. I HAD FUN!
i'm the closet hypocrite. i had once said that "i'd personally rather save what money i have in my boyfriends bank account (to give us that
Okay first of all i don't have proms every year or whenever. I've got the Debs ball, and of my 6th (senior) year and partners are something of a must. this is a problem nice (i.e. friendly and fun) guys are in short supply at my school and then there's the problem of people watching yoy and judging you. Now I love to party but the pressure to be a certain thing is a bit much, thank God I've got a decent dress cos my friends are all currently panicking over what to wear So basically I wish people could just leave off the judgin look what she's wearing" for one evening and have fun
be kind to freshman... i'm one, and it sucks!!!! even though i can see where you would think freshman are immature...
I'm a guy and i'm not sure exactly how i got here but anyways here's my 2 cents, To Lya at the top, umh guys get dressed up like Ken too when they go to the prom, are you forgetting that? So its not like a bunch of guys sitting around in plain clothes drooling over their girls in dresses. Jesus, be fair.
Prom Sucks! My friends and I had agreed months beforehand to go as a group. We were going to go out to a fancy resturant, cruise the prom and then go to a praty with layed back people; not a keg party or something.
Jesus, I'm glad Britain doesn't have "Prom Night".
Then there is the shameless begging in which a guy or a girl HAS to find a date or be devastated.
Ick. I'd rather stay home with a pint of ice cream and watch "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"--much funner!

My own prom was way back in the 80s & several of my friends & I didn't have dates. At first, we were going to rent prom themed horror movies (e.g. Carrie) & have an Anti-Prom Filmfest. Then we changed our minds & decided we were going out for a nice dinner & meet up at a club w/some friends who were going to the prom.
We all ended up getting dates, but not from our high school. We worked part-time at fast food places, supermarkets, etc. & ended up going to the prom w/guys we were friends with at work. We went out dancing afterwards & went to the beach the next day.
It doesn't matter who you go with or whether you go to the "official" festivities. The point is to get together w/the people who matter to you & have fun. Whatever your plans, enjoy :-)

But, it gives us all something to unite under as a thing we all do or did in highschool, and gives us something to talk about so I guess it is a cool thing in that aspect of it. I'm babbling.

i hate it. it's a lot of pressure and stress for an event which is supposed to fun. I'm tempted to show up without a date wearing the plainest, least glamorize outfit i can find, no make-up and running shoes. (One of my friends is thinking of arriving on a tractor - you gotta love him for it- i bet he will.)
i should find a couple others who thik my way and crash the prom wearing jeans and t-shirt- start an anti-prom movement. I guess that ruins it for those who do enjoy the all the pomp and materialism prom brings. i can't hold it against them. even i like to occasionally get dressed up nice and go out to a nice dinner, but it's the teenage materialism that gets to me. i know my friends will sit and judge this girl for a slutty dress, and that girl for going with him, and that one for...

I found a way around loathing the prom...I became the co-chair of the committee. This way I have almost supreme control (hehehe). True, everyone at my school is driving me mad with talk of finding the perfect date, dress, shoes, hair, blah, blah, friggin blah. Me..no date, cheap, simple dress (that I can wear again whenever I want to), no shoes, simple..me. I look at it as a way to have one last night of fun (or supposed fun) with people I may never see again. So instead of worrying about materialistic petty things, I get to have fun and paint, build stuff, and take time off of school for decorating purposes :)

I could dance my toes off all night and wear a beautiful tux to flaunt off my daring individuality. Or I could rummage through vintage stores for an antiquated dress that can be only worn once and let my "girl beauty" shine through for the sake of innocent insanity. I only have one life to spend and I want to take pure advantage of what the world have to offer so I will not let my life go atrophy. No regrets will be rotting in my conscience when I'm a shriveled-up old lady.

Thats what i am going to do next year...i just felt awkward at prom...i don't exactly like rap and techno music and that is all the Dj played...
The most fun of the whole night was when a friend(female) and i were joking around and we started slowdancing together right in front of my favorite english teacher and a whole table of straightlaced admin...my english teacher was cracking up and the admin were staring like we were crazy when we were just joking around!

1. The way my school in Virginia did: Dances aren't a huge whoop over there. It was a military town so people didn't have a lot of money to begin with. So dresses were usually semiformal or less....something you could wear to church or to school if you were feeling dressy. Everyone went with a group of pals. Sometimes you went out for dinner, sometimes not, but if you did it was always Applebee's or the Olive Garden or something like that. Nothing too formal. After the dance groups would either go home or to someone's house and goof off, maybe watch movies or something like that.
2. The way my schools here in Oregon did: Your date is the most important part. You scope out dates waaaaaay ahead of time, making lists of pros and cons, but not waiting too long or your guy will be taken. Go to Nordstrom's or Meier and Frank and spend about $200 on a dress you'll only wear once (God forbid you wear it to school or to another dance! No no no!) Gossop about everyone's date. Make reservations at someplace moderately expensive and plan to go a huge party afterwards. Rent a limo (God forbid you ride in dad's minivan.) When you get there, talk about everyone else's date/dress/behavior and the parties afterward.
Ugh. I don't know about you, but I definitely prefer the first one. To my Prom (which, unfortunately, was at #2), I wore my Mom's old prom dress that she made in 1978, my date dressed in a disco suit (the date itself was a random hookup by our friends: "you both love 60's music! you're both dateless! he plays Jimi Hendrix on his guitar! You know all the words to every Beatles song! You're perfect for each other!") we went with another couple who were friends of hers in their car, ate at Benihana's, and after dancing to Twist and Shout (the Beatles' version, of course!) we had milkshakes at Shari's restaraunt and crashed at our friend's house, to watch movies and fall asleep on teh floor. This year my boyf is still in High School so I'm going to HIS Prom.....I'm wearing my mom's dress again, and he's gonna wear a tie dye tuxedo!!

I'm going to another high school prom with one of my friends, Audrey. She's a lesbian and she already has a girlfriend but she's at college on the other side of the country so Audrey asked me as a casual date. Sheesh. My parents' reactions were rather insane. They were concerned about "being approached" by her. Ha! Well, if I went to the dance with a boy, it could still happen. Besides, if Audrey really dared to pull such an absurd stunt on me, which is most unlikely because it contradicts her nature, I can always slap her silly and I know she won't beat me up the same way a guy could under the same circumstances.
Because Audrey is such a tall girl and the idea of her being in a dress is an insane thought, she's going to dress up in a tuxedo to break the tradition. I might do the same, but I'm comfortable with dresses. I want antiquated, vintage dresses like the ones from the Great Gatsby so I will not have to blow mega bucks on such a flashy dress I possibly will wear once. Or I'll just go to the prom buck naked. Ha. Too bad it's not the 60's. Bummer. I can go in my pajamas. I have to find out the theme. I know proms suck but I think dressing up (I called this game "playing house" back in my childhood days) can be a delightful experience. Pile all that repulsing make up and glitter gel on all of yourself and drape yourself into satin. Just a thought. But you don't really have to follow the "traditions" of an old-fashioned prom. Do it your way and have a few laughs and voila, some night!

You obsess about the senior prom. Blow all your saving on that evening dress you saw in the window of the most expensive dress boutique in town. You rent a limo, etc., etc., etc. You get the picture. And in the end you spend your money on what? A dress that you'll (probably) never wear again, and a whole bunch of other crap that probably cost you a whole bunch of money! When you think about it, why bother? I've heard of people who've spent there entire university savings on their prom. That means all that money on ONE dress, ONE night, ONE everything.
So...what's so great about the prom?

I guess that if i their was one thing that i didn't like it was how a couple of my friends sat there comparing this years prom to last years... and how last years was better... I wanted to tell them to shut-up!
One of my friends did the sweetest thing. She gave me a rose! When she told me she was going to buy me a coursage but had forgotten to i totally started to cry. It really embarrassed her. But it was so sweet. All year i have felt like a don't really fit in amoung my firends. So her giving me the rose showed that i was welcome. Another sort of friend that i don;t always get along hugged me and told me she was glad i came! This is the girl who i usually get the feeling from that she doesn't care whether i am dead of alive.
i guess that as superficial as it is - everyone is nice to each other at prom. sure people don;t like each other... but you can smile at each other and be civil for the night. it does bother me that people can;t do that always... but then if you don;t like someone i guess you shouldn't have to be nice to them....
anyway i am off topic...

kooney togetherness feeling) and horde it away until Warped Tour time comes around when I
would then gleefully and unlabelled and fully self confident go to Toronto to bask in the sweat
and glow of fellow dislikers of the grads/proms."
but..i lied i did go.it wasn't like it is the movies though..it wasn't totaly horriable either..it would have been better if the whole thing wasn't organized by one certain group that has the tendency to not include other "people" into their activities. my beau and i went as "bonnie and clyde" not because of some theme or something of those..we got the strangest comments and yet some of the nicest..no one even mentioned how out of place my labrett looked......that night i heard the wonder years theme song forty five times straight and lean on me equally as many seeing as though they were our "song"...and i actually felt like the "wonder years" had ended. high school wasn't some great turning point or some "major party" like some people figure it to be, it was just another four years stuck in classes that i wasted my time through writing/drawing what not of friends and other places...but it was when i grew up and out of the "little shell" and decided to fend for myself and not worry who thought who was "nasty" or what other folks thought...for all i could care now they can all bite me.."lick me...all of you!" high school is over and done with..and im happy...uni. might be a bigger challenge and "adulthood" might be a difficult task to master but on my own..standing on two feet and not all fours whimpering for my mother..ill make it...i mean i made it through grad. and all dressed up didn't i...but maybe i'll keep my pacifier just in case who knows..ya must need a familiar things in some strange world that you've grown up in yet know almost nothing about...yea..whatever..i sound like i'm intoxicated on cough syrup..i'm shuttin' up now...

two weeks beforehand, it turns out everyone in the group had paird off and was renting limos and going as dates. stupid me never caught a clue until then. I ended up working that night at the pizza place. Once the orders from parties started coming in, I put anchovies under all the sauce and cheese of the pizzas. Yeah prom!
