I'm kind of excited because it's fun to be with my friends and then go clubbing afterwards, but I'm kind of worried that I won't be able to bring my boyfriend because he's 21 and I'm not sure what my school's rules are concerning the ages of dates.

I brought someone that age to homecoming once, and it was maaaaybe not exactly in accordance with whatever age rules there are, but all you have to do is say that he goes to some other school, and it's not like they're going to ID the guy, lol. - Plus, there are several seniors at my school who are 20, so 21 isn't a stretch at all.</p>

also, let's say you're a utilitarian and you want to maximize your pleasure, or good experiences etc. if you do not enjoy prom, and can find something better, why not do the thing that's better?

<p>and LOL @ eldoboy's immense faygetree. Damn...it seems everyone thinks that the only alternative to prom is staying up on dat CC scheiss.</p>

43

<p>PROM!! :D The last dance of HS with my friends.</p>

<p>If the theme isn't too lame I'll go. I'm hoping a certain person will go with me, also. Except I really don't like asking guys to dances.</p>

44

<p>...prom is in April...</p>

45

<p>I have in mind someone that I want to go with and I think I know the designer that I want to get my dress from. It's actually not that far away...hard to believe.</p>

46

<p>Promfor me is in like april or may i think
i am mostlikley going to go. its a fun night just to hang out with friends. people usually dont spend too long at the dance
we hang out at people's houses after going for a little bit</p>

47

<p>At our school freshman and sophs can't go to prom unless invited by a junior or senior...so probably not this year (I'm a soph)...but hey you never know.</p>

<p>This year's homecoming really ****ed me off. One of my friends was going with a girl from another school - and she had a friend that wanted to come but had nobody to go with, so they hooked me up with her friend (very good looking, and great personality).</p>

<p>So the night before homecoming comes around and I get a text from the girl I'm supposed to go with....she says that her parents wouldn't let her go because they didn't know who I was (btw, I'm a very trustworthy and responsible person)....and her best friend didn't want to go without her...so they didn't come....and me and my friend didn't have dates...all because of me...ya...that one really sucked</p>

48

<p>Nah I'm a cheap-ass. I don't plan on going. Definitely not worth the fortune it'd cost me.</p>

<p>Plus I can't think of anyone from my school I'd like to go with anyway.</p>

<p>LOL I've never been to a high-school dance before. I kept telling my friends "one of these days man I'm gonna go to a dance." lol never happened. Oh well, from what I hear I haven't missed out on much if anything. The word is that the dances are extremely lame.</p>

49

<p>lol @ people trying to justify their lameness and antisocialness just go to the ****ing dance!</p>

50

<p>None of you juniors and seniors are even a little excited? Not even, like a teeny bit?</p>

51

<p>cubfan716</p>

<p>going to prom is just not my idea of a good time. If that means that I am antisocial then so be it.</p>

52

<p>his idea of fun is watching the cubs' perennial fail...what do you expect lol</p>

53

<p>I might be in the minority, but I find these things to be incredibly useless and lame.</p>

54

<p>hey, I don't ride any bandwagons. just because a team sucks doesn't mean I should ditch it.</p>

55

<p>I'm going with my boyfriend. Hope they let him in. Technically we're not allowed to bring high school drop-outs... lol. </p>

<p>It's going to be fun. More the pre and post prom parties than prom itself.</p>

56

<p>Not going because class being $400 in debt=crappy dance</p>

<p>I suppose there's pride to be taken in a century of sucking...</p>

<p>I'm definitely going. I love dressing up in general- I hate jeans, I hate t-shirts, I normally go to everywhere (school, mall, grocery store, Walgreens) dressed very nicely. And I love dancing. I dance ballet about 12 hours a week, but I love club dancing too. I thought about not going since this is just junior prom. I could save (my parents') money for the dress and shoes and hair and everything. But the guy with whom I'll probably go (not a date, as friends. But he's fun and cute) will be thousands of miles away in his country next year, and won't be back until the year after that, when he'll be in New York. And my friend is a crazy dance/party girl so she would just beg me until I had to go.
Anyway, I bought a Gucci evening bag for homecoming this year, and I need an excuse to wear it again! I look so ridiculous carrying the tiny, delicate thing around to normal places.</p>

59

<p>So CC is definitely split between "ew prom = lame" and "wheeee, I'm totes going!!" I'm for the latter. =]</p>

60

<p>heck yes! senior year. i already have my outfit conceptualized...it totally makes fun of the amount of money a lot of kids spend for the prom.</p>
