Actually, at this ticket price, I'm not sure I've heard ANYONE say they're going for sure yet.

Just a whole bunch of people going "Fvck no" and a few dozen going "maybe..."

Or, scrape past the dress code by wearing a blazer, and stash some cold cathodes under your jacket. Once you hit the dance floor, break 'em out and light up like a christmas tree.

LOFL. CCFL's and a timer board :p

Unfortunately, I only own one decent set of clothes, and that's my funeral suit :p

i went to mine, but in retrospect, it was a waste of time/money

don't go, you can find a chick/get married when you are 25 or 35 , so the prom is irrelevent

Holy crap, $90? It was free at my high school. Didn't your class have any fundraisers throughout the year?

Think of what you could buy with $90 (you mentioned that it would clean you out, but just for consideration).

I regret not going to mine every once in a while, but most of that isn't due to the event itself. I regret lots of other things more.

Yeah, and we lost money on every single one of them.

eh i never went to my prom which was in 2000 and i don't regret it at all. most oft he ppl i knew that went didn't like it much and it was no where near like on tv where EEVRYONE goes has funs goes to a party and gets laid. i think only half the graduating class went so why go when all of your friends won't be there
save the money.

im not going. there are plenty of girls i could ask, and everyone tries to convince me to go, but you know what? its just not ~$150 worth of fun. the music sucks, its long and sometimes boring, and i wouldnt be spending the night elsewhere anyways (damn parents). fvck it- ive only got a couple of months before college, when i can do whatever i want.

I changed schools for grade 12, and my grade is in 3 weeks. I sure ain't going. I dislike most of the people there and only hang out with 2-3 of them outside of school.

Definitally not going.

Don't go honestly if you don't want to. I would have much more fun going to the city with friends and hitting up hookah and a club:)


So basically, fvck what everybody says.:D

I happily graduated high school without attending any of that crap. My 2 year younger GF (future wife), shamed me into attending her Home Coming and Prom. What a crock of shlt! :roll:

Haha, I think going as an adult would kick ass, because if anyone gave you any sh!t you could bust their asses, and the administrators/teachers/whoeverthehell don't have any real authority over you :p
