<p>Hey, thanks for letting me vent. No happy ending like Mando (major props, buddy). The only people at my school who ask me about prom, it's not to invite me to their preparty or bus, but more like disbelief someone would be seen with me. I have the joy of having a younger classmate suggest to me within earshot of another classmate why didn't I ask her, and she told him within earshot of me that if I asked, she wouldn't go. In front of the class. Good Times. She's younger, and went to Founders Day with a Special Ed student everyone loves, but my loser reputation apparently is this bad. She talks with me all the time about a shared interest but would not accept my FB request. And the best part is, the teacher chimes in, either completely oblivious to how bad my reputation is (see other thread I started) or sheer cruelty. I actually had to ask the teacher to please not bring up prom in front of the others because it happened more than once. And no, I don't have any friends I could ask, or friends of friends. The one time I was becoming friends with a girl (because of her personality--not her obesity, bad skin, or double chin) she ended up distancing herself--and coincidentally lives on the same street as the one I think is badmouthing me in my future college (previous thread). Rant over, thanks for reading this far. I honestly don't know why people act like this, I am awkward but never hurt anybody.</p>
<p>(((hugs)))) I am very sorry!!! Glad you are going to a college they don’t like…you don’t want to be in college with people like that!</p>
<p>You’re right, I don’t want to. But unfortunately I will be, I started a previous thread on it…does it ever end…I absolutely did nothing to deserve being ostracized…</p>
<p>High school prom is the single biggest let down of your high school years. Almost no one actually enjoys the prom and everything is talked up to be so great when in reality its not. Its sort of like new years eve. Highly overestimated and overrated. </p>
<p>Maybe I’m overoptimistic, but I think you’ll be fine once you get out of high school…none of this stuff will matter very much in the long run. Also, ugly girls aren’t obligated to like you any more than pretty girls are.</p>
<p>@lesseb - I feel for you man - and while I second @halcyonheather’s remark about a girl’s physical attractiveness having no bearing on whether or not she would/should like you - I nevertheless sympathize. Use this as a motivation to excel - make 'em all wish they never said no to you. Become a god amongst men. </p>
<p>Thank you everyone for the replies. You are right about girls’ looks, and I am sorry that how I said that came out wrong. I meant it more like I wasn’t chasing superficial chicks for superficial reasons, but I made myself sound like a superficial ■■■■■■. I’m not superficial, but evidently I am considered a ■■■■■■. Touche"</p>
<p>@thesoxpride10 speak for yourself… prom was really fun for me and my friends. </p>

<p>If it makes you feel better I’m a senior and missing out on prom too. My mom nagged about it for two weeks since seniors get in for free. </p>
