Did you go to prom?

[MajorKris]

I went to prom my junior year, but didn't go my senior year. I enjoyed it and had a really good time, but I didn't want to spend all that money again.

 

[Spudgun Man]

I didn't fancy going to mine as I didn't want to spend more time than neccesary with people I didn't like.

We had a prom at the end of year 11 and the end of year 13 in sixth form. I missed the first one because all of my friends were staying on for sixth form and the ones that weren't I wasn't bothered by. On the other hand, I went to the year 13 one because everyone was really fucking chill in sixth form and good times were had by all.

 

[Flight]

I didn't bother going.

 

[Flunk]

No, when we found out they would be holding our prom in the cafeteria we all refused to pay so prom was only about 40 people.

 

[Stevo_s]

I didn't go to mine but I went drinking in Mexico right after cause that's what EVERYONE in my school does after prom. Had a good time!

i'm going.
not really a prom but whatever.

there's this girl and.....you know.

Ahh. good luck fine sir! ;D

 

[AlexanderAstartes]

I did, but then I got on with most people in my Year. We had another at the end of Sixth Form as well, which was better still (mainly because by then most people I didn't get on with had dropped out or gone on to do different things).

Really though, if all your friends are staying in with you, it sounds like a great alternative. Why not make it a formal gaming session?

My prom is coming up and Im not going.

Everything including the ticket, limo, clothes ill rent for one occasion cost £100+

Fuck that shit I dont have that kind of money...

 

[YukaTakeuchiFan]

I never went to a prom- I didn't have a date; what would have been the point of just standing around in clothes that I paid far too much for?

I DID go to one of the after-proms though... and I won a door prize of a TV set valued at $130!

Now I ask you, what would be more worth it to you guys!

Prom was ok. Get dressed up for a dance, which most people (including me and my date) just took off most of the clothes so we could dance without fainting. All-in-all, prom is ok. Expensive, overdressed and long.

However, I have to say I did love danceing with my girl and doing a few slow dances

 

[Low Key]

Yep and I had a great time. It was really expensive though.

 

[Tom Phoenix]

I had noone to go with and I was not interested in just sitting there by myself. Plus, I was never that close with most of my classmates from secondary school. So no, I did not go.

The irony is that, as class president, I organised everything for my class and even had the right to a free ticket. But since I was not going, I gave it to my schoolmate instead.

 

[Simalacrum]

Oh lord no.

On the contrary, I ran away all the way to America to avoid my Year 11 prom!

 

[^=ash=^]

didn't go to my year 11 prom .. but am going to my year 13 prom next friday .. still don't have anything to wear to it though :/

 

[almostgold]

Hell yes. One of the best nights of my life. Dancing with cute girls, jamming out to country music and underground rap tracks in a party bus, and never been so drunk as I was that night. Fucking victorious.

EDIT: I am American, so this was my senior prom.

 

[Samcanuck]

I graduated. My Basic training for the infantry also fell on that night oddly enough, so prom/safe grad were out of the picture.

But at that time, I was just waiting to get a tour under my belt anyways.

 

[alittlepepper]

Did not go. Bad relationship issues whenever it came around and I didn't ever want to spend that much money on a dress I'd only wear one time.
Still, I hear that sometimes they can be fun.

 

[Quaxar]

Everyone was mad at me for not coming... great time, no really. I spent the day and night watching DVDs and gaming, all a prom has is people and social relations, how could that beat a nice round of Halo?

 

[Artina89]

I didn't go to prom. I spent prom night in New York (our prom was after our GCSE's) and I was hanging out in Brooklyn with people I have known and loved for years as opposed to people who I didn't speak to and I didn't particularly want to know.

 

[Powereaver]

i want to my formal which is the aussie prom.... got sick once and danced around a lot.. fun night had by all
