I feel stupid

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>so last night was prom...and i went with this girl im okay friends with</p>

<p>we got a double decker bus (55+ people), and once we started driving to the prom, everyone started drinking...me included</p>

<p>well i was for sure drunk once we got to the prom, made an idiot of myself doing kerioke (sp?), ate dinner, then we went back on the bus, and continued drinking...</p>

<p>i drank WAY to much, but didnt feel like i was gonna throw up or anything...then we went back to the prom and danced more. Apparently i was freak dancing with everyone, and since i am the "quiet, nerd kid" in class, this was some sight for everyone watching me. After this, i dont remember much, but i continued drinking (BAD IDEA), and then after another 40 min i began puking, out of the top of the double decker. I guess i was puking on cars (including a fire engine) all the way back to the school parking lot.
Once we got back i was still puking out of the top, and i guess i was right over the door to get out, so people were taking chances and running out, trying to avoid my puke (keep in mind there are 55+ people watching me). </p>

<p>I guess some kids were taking care of me, i dont remember, and then i woke up in my bed this morning and had no recollection of how i got there. I have been puking all day, and cant even keep water down. Apparently some of my friends drove me home, and initially i told them the house where i used to live, and they rang the doorbell (at 1am), and some random people came out, and threatened to call the cops. Then they called my mom to get directions and left my car at my house. My mom isnt angry (ive told her a slightly diff. version of the story), she only feels bad for me because ive been throwing up all day.</p>

<p>Have any of you ever had anything like this happen? I feel like such an idot, and i missed afterprom (parent sponsored, hundreds of free give aways like ipods, dig. cameras, flatscreen tvs, cash, etc). i dont really know how to approach all of this (like at school, i know the councelors/principal knew i was trashed)...and most of all i am disappointed in myself</p>

<p>I'm sorry that happened to you. But life goes on. That's never happened to me, but kids get trashed all the time. Just leave it all behind.</p>

3

<p>Are you serious? That's hilarious.</p>

4

<p>lol wow dude that sucks. </p>

<p>props tho', awesome story to tell in college.</p>

<p>5 Ziggy-Points (c) (R) for you.</p>

5

<p>also: where do you go to school!
that's one crazy afterprom!</p>

<p>free flatscreen tvs? are you kidding me?!?!</p>

6

<p>im hoping that most people will think it was funny, i guess i will see tomorrow...</p>

<p>i go to a public school in colorado, afterprom is a big tradition for our school, so parents spend the entire year organinzing it and raising money for prizes, ironically so that kids wont go get drunk at partys afterwards...</p>

7

<p>hahaha that's awesome.</p>

<p>congrats on getting tanked. you make nerds like myself proud.</p>

8

<p>Haha nice. It does make for an interesting story. Since it's over and done with, you may as well take some pride.</p>

9

<p>lol tell when you hear something like: "I heard there's a party Friday. Better not invite [your name here], we all remember what happened at Prom."</p>

10

<p>Sounds like a grand old time.</p>

11

<p>Okay, okay, so the three main groups to deal with during things like this are cops, parents, and administration. Fortunately, it sounds like you didn't get caught by the police, which is especially good since this means your college probably won't hear about it at all. It sounds like your mom understands, so that's set. If your school administration knows, and didn't bag you at the prom, you're probably not in too much trouble with them. If you have to talk to them, just say you know you made a mistake and learned your lesson.</p>

<p>As long as you didn't do anything inappropriate to anyone with a significant other, you're straight. You can laugh this thing off with friends, they'll probably think it's funny.</p>

<p>On the subject of feeling better, hopefully you feel better by now. First time I got really drunk, I stopped drinking at 4 PM (it was a vacation day, forgive me), and the last time of the many I puked was 2 PM the next day. The more water you can force yourself to drink, the sooner you'll find out if you feel better. Best of luck, sir.</p>

12

<p>wow......................... that is a story!</p>

13

<p>Well now you have a story you can tell people from your prom...</p>

14

<p>i know how you feel. i made quite the first impression with a lot of my current friends. </p>

<p>i was drunk off my ass and i showed up at this house with a few of my friends. i don't remember much, but apparently i kept saying, " I am sooo drunk. Can I have a cigerate?" </p>

<p>When I found out, I was super embarassed but afterwards, all the people i met that night just use that story to playfully tease me. It was a great way to make small talk, and now I am very close friends with the people i met that night. </p>

<p>If I were you, i would use this crazy story to your advantage. Was this your first time drinking? If it was, some people might think, "stupid nerd can't handle", but I wouldn't sweat it, especially if you are a senior.</p>

<p>and may i just say...DOUBLE DECKER BUS!!</p>

15

<p>I know! I've never seen a double decker.</p>

16

<p>Wow. That's quite a story. You're lucky- if you went to my school the administration would no doubt know if a second and you'd be in deep trouble :eek:</p>
