So I flipped a coin...
Not going.
thats too bad...
I'm actually relieved that I don't have to waste $100.
there has to be someone that wants to go with you?
My girlfriend at the time and I went to prom and it was a blast! You should try to find someone to go with and go! It's fun!

My girlfriend and I went and it sucked. We bailed out as early as we could with some friends. YMMV.
Mine was extremely boring. And we weren't allowed to bail early, and had to be driven home to parents (and get our parents' signature) even if we weren't drinking.

Wow. I would have just hung out with my date at taco bell until the after parties started.
I don't think I can buy tickets anymore. And if I could, they cost $60. FTW. And then I need to get a tux. FTW. I don't see what's so big about prom. Seems like some hoax for fundraising.
If I want to take advantage of my last opportunity to have any dating experience in high school -- it's sad, I know -- then I'd rather just sit on a rocking chair hugging a girl on my lap and watching a good movie with popcorn and birds in the background for a good 3 hrs -.-
I skipped my senior yr cause my junior yr was lame (although, my knee was broken junior year so I just sorta sat/hobbled around).
I couldnt see the point in spending $200+ for tux, tickets, dinner with a girl that is a friend.
I went both years and disliked it both years. I took my date Junior year as a courteous gesture to my other friends (she was friends with them and was a Sophomore, so she wasn't allowed in without an "invite" from an upperclassmen). She was nice and I didn't mind her, but she definitely wasn't my type. My senior year, one of my friends from a couple of my classes asked me. It went well, but I still really dislike the whole idea of a dance.
I was adamantly against underage drinking through high school, so it made social gatherings that involved (more accurately revolved around) alcohol more difficult for me. I didn't much mind my friends drinking, but I felt uncomfortable being around it. I've since decided that this attitude is pretty silly. I don't mind underage drinking, but I still do not wish to participate.

Overrated, expensive dances.
If I want to dance with my girlfriend I have Windows Media Player and Ventrillo.
I'm not going to mine either, and I feel like a loser because of it. At first I had a good excuse because we had a lacrosse tournament the next day and I didn't want to be out late, but now we aren't going and I have no excuse besides me not having a date. I don't want to spend money to go to a dance alone, and I don't want to go to prom with a girl I'm not involved with or could be involved with. I'll try and go to the after parties though.

it's $60 for a single ticket for us and $100 for a double, plus the $30 senior dues + freshman/sophmore/junior dues.
jesus!
you have class DUES!? isnt it a public friggin school? lame
Our tickets were $15 single/$20 double
My school cost about $30/year, which is almost nothing.
If I recall correctly, our prom was free, but a ton of fundraising was done.

yeah but dues aren't REQUIRED, you just can't participate in prom or the senior picnic without paying them.
Why would you pay dues if you're a freshman and cannot attend the junior/senior prom?
Also, tickets don't cover it? Why not fund raise? We had car washes, sales, "pie a teacher", etc throughout the year
I'm not really sure what freshman and sophmore dues are for. And we do fund raise (well I don't, but the class does) and fundraising and ticket sales cover the venue and food and goody bags and a dj and all of that stuff I guess.
I didn't go to mine this year, and won't get next year either unless my girlfriend then REALLY wants me to go. I don't enjoy dancing at all. I don't mind the slow dances, it's just the rest of the shit is kinda lame... Waving your hands around in weird formations while moving your body back and forth isn't dancing, it's just fucking ridiculous.
Clothes sex = today's dancing
