Prom at my school falls on my birthday, and, to be blunt, I don't have many close friends at my school. People tell me that prom is such an experience that I will regret it if I do not attend. I would rather celebrate my birthday privately with my friends, who do not go to my school, than spend it at a prom with people who wouldn't even know it's my birthday, much less care. I don't think I'd be able to do both (ie: leave early and party with my friends) since my school requires that you stay for the entire prom and arrive and leave through school transportation, to be extra safe.
So. Is prom worth it? I'd like to add that I'm not as "girly" as other people, and going shopping, dressing up, putting on make up, etc, aren't activities that I necessarily want to go through. If the prom is worth it, however, I wouldn't mind.

I didn't have a lot of friends in school either, but that didn't stop me from my one nite of dressing up and enjoying myself, take one of your friends with you, if possible, prom is special to a lot of people. Maybe girly isn't you, but for one special night make it your night and make it a good night, take pictures talk to school mates, years to come you can look back on it. Prom nite is whatever you want to make it good or bad. It's up to you. If you truely don't want to go don't. Make it a special day, birthday and all your worth it. Be safe, regardless of what you do. Life is absolutely to short to lose such a wonderful person as you. Have a good time , not a regretful time, I wish you the best of happiness regardless of what your decision is. And Happy Birthday to come. Good Luck in whatever you do.

Is Prom Worth It

well what u think it is important if u want to go to the prom then go right ahead if u don't then don't. i would say u have a small private party because what is the use of going to the prom where people don't even know then with ur friends wher u csn have a wonderful time with people that care about u. if the porm fell on my b-day then i would go to the porm and have my party the next weekend, but i am a "girly" and i am friends with everyone at my school so do what ever feels right well good luck

It's up to you if you think it's worth it. It sucks your school has to micromanage everything, could they make an exception since it's your bday? I would say that it was worth it for me to go to my prom but it may not be the same for everyone. Maybe go to the prom of a close friend of another school and party on your birthday!

If you think you're going to have a better time at your birthday party, then go there! Prom is just a dance, and people have more fun preparing and shopping for it, which you aren't exactly into, so have your own dance party with your closest friends.
Happy early b-day!

hmm well i did go to my prom and i had a lot of fun even though after prom things got kinda crazy but that's a different story. You do realize that your prom is a once in a lifetime thing &your b-day comes along every year. I mean it seems to me as if going to prom is something your not looking foward to and if your going to be miserable than dont go because its suppose to be a good expirience that you will always remember thats what makes it so important, if not then do your own thing there's nothing wrong with that. Happy early BDAY

i did no longer pass and don't be apologetic approximately it one bit. It became a similar night as my 18th birthday so I went out with a team of acquaintances to a dance club/bar and had quite a number of exciting. i think of if i did no longer have some thing else happening that night, i might have regretted unlikely, nevertheless. I never liked any of the homecoming dances so I knew I wouldnt have any exciting at promenade...

There are several major rites of passage in today's culture for our youth. Some religions and ethnic cultures recognize the importance of acknowledging when a person begins a new phase in their life as in Quinceanera, Bah mitzvahs, and Confirmations. We have adapted as a society to establish inter-cultural rites of passage, like getting your driver's license, graduation, and prom. I decided not to attend my prom for similar reasons as your own. Thinking that it was not important and brushing off the notion entirely. Though I might not have enjoyed my prom if I would have attended it, yet I will never know for certain. I would hate to see someone else deny themselves of this experience and not be able to share the experience with others in society.

Well when I went to prom, it was well worth it....I am now married to him ......but if it does not intrest you then don't go... every one is different...but if you have a man, or a close guy freind or a crush, see if he would like to go...if you show no intrest in it at all, don't go and do what makes you happy, after all it is your day to do what you want.

I dont have prom in Canada, but grad's gotta be similar. I had an awful grad. It honestly sucked. I wanted to party....I had 4 really good friends that all went to different parties, cause they didn't really hang out with one another, they each had their own crowd. I decided to go with my one group of friends cause my date that I asked to come with, was friends with them. I was the only one out of my friends that drank, and I felt like they all judged me. My date, who I really liked, decided to tell me that night, that he's not interested in me that way, and he only came to my grad as my date so he could hang out with his other friends...the other people I was with that night. I spent a sh!t load on my dress, hair and everything. To me, it wasn't worth it. I wish I went with my better friends that wanted to do what I wanted.
Definately celebrate your birthday...in my opinion at least!
Happy Bday!
