What's it like going to the prom? (in high school)?

Question

does it suck?

Answer 1

It depends.  I couldn't get a date either year and went alone.  But I got to wear a nice dress, go to a formal dance, see what that's like.  All my friends were there.

If you get a dress from a thrift store, or one that's been on the racks for a year or two, you can save a TON of money and still look great!  I don't think I paid more than $20 for either of my prom dresses, and they didn't look at all cheap.  Shoes will still set you back a good bit, but if your mom's good with hair, that's about $50 you can save right there.  If you go to a salon, it's pretty expensive.

You might have more fun with a good date, but going alone is still MUCH better than going with someone you can't stand.

Answer 2

It depends. If you have a fun date (or no date, and fun friends) it can be a blast. If your date is a dud, ditch him and you can still have fun!

Prom was fun, but the after party was better.
