I didn't go to prom- and I don't regret it one bit. But, I was never into HS functions. I do have some HS regrets - but prom is definitely not one of them.
I do feel bad, though. One person asked me to prom- not directly. Someone asked for him, and I said I was not going. If I could turn back time, I'd have gone just for him So he had a date. But, I would have been so freaking tense the whole time.
If you could find any nice people to hang out with- I'd try going since it is something that interests you. But if you have the courage to go alone then also go for it.
*sigh* well for me, I did go for my "prom". Well it doesnt really work out like a US prom I guess, as its just a dance party for all, and being without a date is normal... but again I only stayed for 10 minutes before I felt silly, as all were dancing, and I was just sitting, and sipping soda
I skipped my university graduation entirely... didnt want another embarrasing scene.
I finished school in 1999. That day still pops up in my head every now and then. Anyway, I dont know why I'm posting this, take care all.

never went. wasn't really anybody at the time that I even felt comfortable asking. I told anybody who asked that I couldn't afford it, most of them bought it - I was a lower middle class kid in a rich private school. Never regretted it, no one cares about high school anymore anyway.

I didn't go to my prom. If someone would have asked me, I probably would have gone, but no one did and I didn't have a group of friends in school, so I really had no one to go with, so I just stayed home. I don't really regret it.

Well my Senior prom is coming up soon (may the 17th to be precise) and I've been looking for a date for the past few weeks. I've been rejected by about 4 girls now. To be honest I thought it would crush me. I've never been on a date before and I'm asking someone to go to prom lol. But you know, I felt fine about it. There was a little twinge fear and hurt afterwards but I feel fine. So now I have consigned myself to going with friends. But then I realized that I have no friends. And now I don't know what the fuck to do. Should I try to find a group of people to go with or should I just stay at home. I probably regret not going and at the same time I I don't know if I would be okay enough to go by my self.
Firstly, I admire you for having the guts to ask 4 girls out to your prom (we call them High School formals here in Australia), and I am sorry to hear that they all turned you down. I know exactly how you feel, I asked a few girls out when I was in high school, and I too got rejected. It's not a nice feeling.
I never went to my high school formal as I did not go to year 12 (I am 39 now). What can I say??, if you are going to be bored and not have a good time, then there's probably little point in you in attending. Why waste a lot of money hiring formal clothing, when you could be doing something you do actually enjoy.
Anyway, it's up to you, and I hope you make the right choice.
