Prom

When prom comes, I'm probably not gonna go. That could be a potentially scarring situation.

Proms arent a big deal over here, although they are slowly growing (my sister whos 3 years older never had a prom but my year did)

no one puts in nearly as much effort as you guys do, well the girls do but then thats cos they like any excuse to dress up

consider this, my friend bought his jacket and trousers for Â£1.50 and his shirt for 50p from a charity shop, the most expensive thing was some Â£6 suspenders he bought

Proms mean little to nothing to us really, just one final get together to see everybody and the teachers before moving on and escaping.

Lets just say it wasnt exactly a classy event, passing some girls dressed up in expensive dresses in a horse and carriage on the way drinking vodka out of a plastic tescos bag kinda drags the whole thing down a bit

Although I do agree that school-organized events usually suck balls, a lot of you people seem pretty pessimistic about your chances with the ladies. You ain't never gettin a girl with that attitude.

The only 'prom' like event I went to was my grad. Guess what. It sucked balls. Me and my friends went outside of the place and talked to the security guard. turns out she dropped out of high school. I was glad that I just graduated.

Then after everyone got really drunk so the night was saved.

Okay, one thing i got to say: why go to the prom with a girlfriend when you can be friends with all the chicks?

This is a bump, but I thought I'd bump an old thread rather than make a new one. My prom is tonight, and I'm pretty damn excited about it. I'm going with a friend (who is a freshman and too young for me anyway) and I look forward to hanging out with my friends and stuff.

Plus I get to wear a tux. How can you complain about that?

We had ours about 3 2eeks ago, but I'm only a sophomore and it's junior-senior only. Next year I might though. I could just get a nice suit at my local goodwill/salvation army. Perhaps even not go and just go hang out with my girlfriend.

Ours was about a month ago. My mom said she would pay for everything (to get me out of the house and because I didn't have any), so I went. Probably the best night of my life so far, and I'll get to do it again next year because I'm only a junior. We don't even have seniors at my school this year, so I didn't have to feel stupid for going to a more senior-oriented dance.

Don't expect any pictures, no way I'm gonna let you guys bask in the beauty of my "girlfriend" (we aren't "officially" bf/gf, so we can date other people and not have stupid drama).

Didn't go to mine, so far (it's only been a year) no regrets there.

My girlfriend's was a few weeks back, kinda wish I'd gone to that.

Mine sucked tbh. As usual me and my mates didn't take it seriously so turned up in my old Mini instead of a Limo. Didn't want to waste hundred odd quid renting a limo and our way got more laughs

Only a freshman, and I think dances are dumb. Its not that I cant get dates for them, I just view them as boring and a waste of time.

I agree.

Personally girlfriends are a huge waste of money, at least High school GFs, very very small percentage of Highschool relationships ever end in marriage.

proms are pretty much worthless, all they are good for is getting together and BSing with your classmates which you do everyday at school anyway.

but yeah I didn't go to my prom, I instead went to go see Iron Man

I don't know, my girlfriend isn't really a waste of money.

In fact I spend very little money on her, mostly we just chill, very little money happens.

She's actually commented on how I spend more money on video games than her, though I could just say the same thing to her and it would probably be true.

Well most are, at least the school I go to are.

Fair enough.

Mines fairly low maintenance (at least money wise).

It's cool, cause I'm poor.
