If you had one… did you go?
We had one in both 11th and 12th grades. I went to both.
I didn’t dance, just sat at a table talking to other people.
They played lots of Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera. This was the late 90s.

I didn’t go to my senior prom.
Mainly because I didn’t really enjoy any high school dances, and also I didn’t think anyone would ask me to go either.
I did go to an after-prom breakfast though.

I didnt go to my senior prom because when this one boy, who I knew, asked me, I got paranoid and thought he didn’t mean it, like he was pulling a trick on me. Exactly like in the Sissy Spacek movie, which came out about that time.

I had a leg in a cast from injuring myself playing basket-ball so I couldn’t go. But I did host the after-party because I was given the keys to a family friend’s apartment. Everybody dropped by after the prom, I was glad.

No didn’t go. Thought it was a waste of money.

I would have loved to go, but I wasn’t in high school long enough to make it!

I couldn’t even talk to girls in high school. Going to the prom was out of the question.

I couldn’t really talk to boys. I took my boyfriend who I met on AOL. He lived a few towns away.

I could have went to prom but it would of been a mercy date as the girl was not into me even though we danced at a church function prior and she paid me no mind.
Ultimately I never saw the appeal of prom and any school function as it was the same people over and over being selected king and queen of whatever.

I did go to prom…
I have mixed feelings about it, dances weren’t my thing… but my best friend in school convinced me to go.
I also think it was a waste of money for my parents

I didn’t go to my prom either.
My illness was at its worst that year and I had just gotten out of the pysch ward and was being home tutored by the school system. I had no friends and was too heavily medicated to think going that going to my prom would be fun.

I wish I would have been a real student and gone to prom. I was insecure and got involved with a boyfriend and got pregnant after my sophomore year. I ended up transferring to another school I didn’t like, then went to night school. I missed a great experience of high school, that I regret. At the time I was too intimidated by everyone.

Went to my junior prom, it was okay. I enjoyed eating at the fanciest steakhouse in the city beforehand, moreso than the actual dance lol.
Didn’t go my senior year, the gal I was talking to at the time lived long distance. So I just hungout with my buddy who got suspended from the prom due to fighting lol
I thought the homecoming dances were a lot more fun. I did enjoy those

Yes I went.
9th grade - my high school held a “rookie ball” and it was so damn crowded, we could barely dance. They held a “miss rookie” / “mister rookie” contest, where intelligence, wits and looks all counted. In the days that followed I wrote an essay titled “A study on how girls behave around boys” lol.
12th grade - we booked a performance hall and my classmates acted in a short play on stage, I didn’t get a part.
Funny how I remember the 9th grade party in more detail although it happened 3 years earlier.

I did. I thought about not going because it didn’t really interest me but all my friend were going and I felt like I would be missing out if I skipped. It was pretty boring TBH. Just talked with my friends mostly. Went with a female friend.

I went to my (now) exes senior prom when I was in 11th grade. Then I went to my own prom in senior year.
I would say my prom was much better than his because I had more friends in my own grade. People were nice enough at his prom but mine was more personal. I still have pictures and videos of the fun we had.
