Prom?
Re: Prom?
My senior prom was in 2011, and I did go. I didn't have a date, so I went with my two best friends and we had a great time. In all of high school I went to four proms, five homecomings, and two winter balls, so I was pretty familiar with school dances. I definitely loved having a date, but going with friends is always fun. Both dresses that I bought for prom were about 200-300 dollars each. I did my hair and makeup for all of them except one prom I went to (my best friend in California invited me and his mom paid for my hair and makeup). Junior year was the only year we got a limo, and we all paid $25 (there was six of us) and my friend's grandparents paid the rest... I think it was around 200 dollars entirely for the limo. In my experience, the most fun I ever had in high school involved school dances, and I always went with small groups. I definitely recommend you go, but if you don't feel comfortable, it's not the end of the world if you stay home instead. : )

Re: Prom?
this may sound really stupid but how is prom in the us? I mean of course I've seen it in movies but yeah ... =/
I mean who is allowed to go/who goes? and do you really spent 80$ on the ticket?? :O
who organises it? where does it take place and how long? and what do you do all evening??
I'm sorry but I have really no idea about all these things and I'd really like to know
where I live we also have something like a prom but I have a feeling that it's completly different ...

my prom was in 2009, but i think these things are about the same, at least in my area.red_nails7 wrote:this may sound really stupid but how is prom in the us? I mean of course I've seen it in movies but yeah ... =/

1. my school's prom ticket was $60 a student, which includes dinner. in most cases, the guy buys his date's ticket, so it'd be $120 for tickets for him. but, guys usually only have to rent a tux, whereas girls get the fancy dress, nails, hair, and/or makeup done (i borrowed my dress from an older friend and looked up youtube gurus for hair and makeup, so i didn't have to pay much for that. i went to a salon to get my nails done, but that was fun )
2. the high school organizes it for the seniors. sometimes, smaller schools include juniors too
3. schools in my area have their proms at a fancier venue to make it special, i guess. mine was at a golf club because i had a large senior class (400+ students), but my friend went to a private school with about 50 seniors, so they had theirs on a yacht.
4. we eat dinner, take pictures with each other since it's like the last big social event before graduating and everyone is all dressed up. then we dance to very bad, loud pop music!
my prom was actually kinda ok, in retrospect, though it seems ridiculous that everyone stressed so much about it.

1. Tickets were $10 a person. We don't have dinner included.
2. It was the Juniors' prom (The Juniors organized it and were on court), but Seniors' were allowed to go. Also, guests of Juniors' and Seniors' were allowed to go.
3. It was held in my high school's commons area, so that's why the prices were low.
4. Pictures are optional.
5. My school also sponsors post prom, open to all high school students. Last year, the post prom participants went to a local bowling alley and were locked in. My high school started a school-sponsored post prom event back in 2009. My French teacher is a strong proponent of it, because to her, if the school didn't have post prom, then a lot of students would get drunk, stoned, pregnant, or get someone pregnant.

Re: Prom?
I'm going with my friends. But my friend just texted me a picture of the dress she wants. She's not skinny which is fine but she's picked a dress that's not going to flatter her at all. It's for a girl that's not so curvy. I don't know how to tell her that it's not going to look good on her at all.
