Prom?!

[Aerith's Knight]

I got to legally drink at my prom.. netherlands rule!

[Sweet Beloved]

I decided to not go to prom this year. It costs around 30 dollars and the nicest dresses are in the $300 range.
Plus they wouldn't let me bring my boyfriend along, seems some girl two years ago brung her 23 year old boyfriend and got everyone smashed.

So those 21 and older can't go.

D=

I decided to go next year, because senior year is free. :]

I love dressing up though, and I feel it'll be important, a once in a lifetime kind of thing (or twice really haha) and I don't want to miss out on it, and spending time with my friends.

Have fun at prom! =]

[Shlup]

It's $30 this year and senior year it's free?! My senior year it was $60.

[Aerith's Knight]

Mine was $20.. Beer was $2, liquer was $4

and my rented tux (with bowtie) was $60.

In total i spend maybe $180

of course the Range rover i rented was another $200.

[Caraliz]

didn't do prom at all.

[Big D]

I went to my high school senior ball in '01, it was ok but fairly half-arsed.
At uni I went to the ball thrown by my hostel while I was staying there.

I skipped Graduation Ball, since I graduated in December but the ball doesn't happen till next graduation, in April.

Aside from those academic 'proms', I've been to a handful of medieval or renaissance balls put on by the re-enactment community. Those rule - superior food, dance, drink and company compared to the regular kind.

I didn't go to my prom. Or my graduation. And I didn't buy a yearbook for my graduating year.

prom is a 'gift from the junior class to the senior class' at our school so for seniors it's free, and the juniors do a million fundraisers.

afterprom is a gift from the junior parents to their kids so they don't go out drinking!

I went to three proms. Pottsville 2006, Pottsville 2007 and Greenville 2007. I think that's plenty 8)

[The Unknown Guru]

I decided to forgo my prom in favor of crying myself to sleep.

Hope you don't mind if I steal your idea.

[Dolentrean]

I didn’t go to my prom

Instead I bought a video game.

All of this talk in here is making me jealous! Y'all have such cheap proms. Prom is going to be so expensive for ME! I'm lucky, I guess I'm lucky that my Mom is covering this because I'm actually going to a school social event which makes her ecstatic. But of course, it'll be held over my head for about 5 years, which might not make it worth it.

My ticket cost $100 dollars. My dressed cost close to $300 dollars. The limo bus we're taking costs $150 for each person, since it's a really nice one with plasma TVs and club lighting and 360 and private rooms in it. The night club we're going to is also over $100 dollars. And I don't even know how much other things are going to cost, like hair and make up, because the place I usually go charges $60 for just a hair cut, and I'm getting my hair curled and stuff. Over all, it'll probably end up being around $800 dollars.

Christ, so expensive. xD

We don't do proms in England.

Nor in Denmark. We have "galla" parties instead, but I guess they're somewhat similar to proms.

I'm quoting Rye rye because her final tab (which looks to be over 600 bucks?) might cause her to fall into this trap:

As amazing as it is to be a high school senior, the high school prom is not a big furry deal. I didn't go to MY school's prom because my schoolmates are tossers, but I did take my friend to her school's prom the next year (which is cool cuz like, I can drink). What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't expect it to be amazing (this advice goes for any social outting btw). However proms can be so damn fun you still remember it 10 years later (TEN YEARS? DEAR GOD)

Proms are fun when you go with people you like, and do things you enjoy. I remember the following about that night:

- very awkward posing for photo (the configuration of our arms behind the scene was not fun for me)
- casual conversation
- dinnertime (thankfully quiet)
- and

zomg

CARAMEL DANSEN

I totally lost track of how many girls I danced with, and yes, I did have a date (dude one girl can't dance all night; if she can, she's a keeper). Girls who don't have dates will almost always say yes to dancing with you (speaking to any guy going to a prom), and if you two get along, BAM you have a date that is guaranteed not to be a bad date.

And then after that, we went to have the booze and after like six shots of rum I passed out ^^;

Whaaaa? Only seniors and their dates can go to prom at our school! Tickets can be pretty expensive, too! Like anywhere from $30 to $75...or maybe I'm thinking of yearbooks >.>

[Randgris]

I already attended J/S proms, it wasn't exciting. (I had two during Highschool. College, I'm a drop-out so no social dances for me...)
