Screw prom. What a waste. Just keep on grinding and humping to your garbage music airheads.

Haha...no I went to prom...it was so disappointing it ruined my life. Never been the same since...

You think anybody doubts the fact that you're a pasty, obese, loser who couldn't get a prom date? LOL.

God damn. For my schools prom, I'm getting my dress from Ross. My sister gets an employee discount for it

[NurseJackal]

I have no idea what my school's formal was like, I didn't go to it~ Neither did any of my friends for that matter~ :I

Prom at my school is just a party, yet I was excited because it was my senior year. And I wanted to have fun with my friends. I'm so glad my parents did NOT spend that much money on me for prom. I found a gorgeous dress for just $80, used my aunt's Cadillac as transportation (cause it looked awesome), make up my mom had, hair done for less anyway, and had an awesome night. I looked like a million bucks without spending that much. $500 for dress, screw that..

I am not going to be in a Sorority, the only thing cool about is that you can meet cool new people

But I know their are some major downsides to it

I never went to many dances, im just not a big dancer. The only time i would dance is at weddings (for a bit) or that time where a crashed a dance with a couple people

I never cared for drinking parties, sex, drugs and so on, it wasnt something that I ever cared for. Im just into sports, little bit of video games, and meeting some new people
