<p>I'm kind of curious as to people's reactions about not attending prom my senior year. It's $65 a ticket with no food and probably just a bit of punch. But it IS my last dance with all of my school friends. My parents obviously don't want me to go because of the costs, and I understand where they're coming from. But I still kind of want to go.</p>
<p>Would you guy, or do you guys regret not attending prom? I just want some opinions; thank you!</p>
<p>I’d recommend going. It’s not necessarily something I think about and regret, but I regret the person I was in High School in a variety of ways and if I could go back and do things over, prom would have been included with version 2.0 of myself.</p>
<p>I’m not going to my prom.</p>
<p>I’ll say attend, if you really want to. Again, it is a once in a lifetime thing. It’s something nice to look back to.
Prom tickets at my school are $95. My friends’ school has their tickets for $110…</p>
<p>Over $100?!?! 
oh gosh! That’s expensive!! The $65 feels really expensive because the schools nearby are having their proms for $30 or so haha. Also, I just went to a military ball this weekend for $35 so the $$ adds up!</p>
<p>I just don’t want this to make me regret or make me feel like I missed out on an important piece of my high school experience. But I’m also kind of scared; especially since people spiked the punch at our Winter Ball!::</p>
<p>Yeah, ridiculous, ain’t it? It’s probably because my school decided to have it at a really fancy hotel and my class barely fundraised enough. I’ve also went to a military ball in January, which was $40.
Either way, if you’re going with friends or a date, prom’s just another dance. It’s just one of the more ‘hyped’ up ones.</p>
<p>I didn’t go (last year, I am a 1st year college student atm). It was $150 for my school. I don’t regret a thing (however, I never went to a dance in my life, so if you find those enjoyable then prom might be for you as well). Some of my friends didn’t go either, and one of them turned down an offer from a girl to go to prom with him.</p>
<p>I went as a sophomore and will go again as a junior, both times with my boyfriend. It honestly depends more on the person/people you go with than the dance itself. If I went by myself, I wouldn’t have had that great of a time. I had a good time with my boyfriend but it wasn’t anything special in my opinion. But then again, every prom is different.</p>
<p>Well my prom is over $120 as well, and I’m still considering going. Again, it’s a one-in-all-life chance, so…</p>
<p>no, because I’m against prom.</p>
<p>but seriously, I don’t see the point. if you really want a last chance to hang out with your friends or classmates, can’t you just get together on your own? prom is overrated. it’s supposed to be a once in a lifetime experience, but it’s really not all that unique and awe-worthy.
I mean it’s not about the decorations and dresses, but about having a memorable time with your friends before graduation, right?</p>
<p>Our prom blows. For the price we paid we got water and sugarless punch, ONE decoration on the wall for our supposed “Hawaiian” theme, and a fat bald dude with a MacBook who was using iTunes for our “DJ.” For $55 a pop and probably no chance at a real date this year, I’ll probably just dust off my tuxedo, join a group of friends for dinner, skip the dance, and then maybe hit an afterparty.</p>
<p>Then go to Alt. Prom the week after (no, it’s not JUST for gay people), that was where the real party was. Real music, real DJ, food and drinks, no fancy-dress BS, just a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Prom at my school is meh…</p>
<p>Post prom is where it’s at :)</p>
<p>Go to prom. It is a ‘once in a lifetime’ thing.
Some may say they hate it, but hey you’ll never know if you didn’t try it.
Just go to prom. Seriously.</p>
<p>Oh, forgot to mention. After-prom parties are fun. lol.</p>
