<p>When are u going to spend money to go to prom again? YOUR prom only comes once.</p>
<p>Look at the bigger picture - so what if you have to pay, it’s going to be the fun and the experience you get out of it is what you’ll remember forever. Don’t put negative signs next to dress, limo, food, ticket etc - that’s not the point - money should be no matter in deciding whether or not to go, and should definitely not be the factor that’ll make all other aspects look bad.</p>
<p>No, really, it’s not fun here. Most people that went last year said the prom was incredibly boring and ditched a couple hours early, but the after parties were good. I don’t think that I’m going to miss out on “one of the best experiences in my life” if I’m $100 the richer for it and still go to a party.</p>
<p>Money is very much a deciding factor in a lot of things you do during high school. Especially when you have friends with parents that give them all the money they need to do something. There’s been plenty of times that I haven’t gone out with my friends because I don’t have the $20 to waste. If prom were more than $30 a couple at my school, there would be maybe 15% of the student body there. Most the kids I go to school with get free lunch. after the dress or tux, dinner, corsage, pictures, there’s no way their families could pay 200+ for a school dance.</p>

<p>damn right it is!!
I mean, if you really think that money should not be the central issue, than you probably have all the money to spend and not worry about it. But for people who are not so priviliged, money is the central issue…b/c it will buy you the ticket, obviously.:mad:</p>
<p>instead of worrying about college and academics so much… maybe you guys should get jobs to pay for it. thats what i’m doing and my prom is prolly going to be 150 per couple, plus tux, limo, and others stuff</p>
<p>instead of prom, ill be doing math. seriously, math is my excuse for everything</p>
<p>“hey ty, want to go to the movies?”
“nah im doing math”</p>
<p>college? not worry? eep, are you maaaadd?
okay I 'm doing all I can to keep my acceptance and not fall into senioritis!</p>
<p>come on people…let’s get this thread alive and kickin!!! 
:)</p>
<p>sounds like a good idea-- tomorrow’s the last day to buy prom tickets at my school. I’ll be having a party w/ my friends who aren’t going to prom that night at my house, so that should be more fun anyway.</p>
<p>We’re getting to crunch time for prom planning…calling decorators, meeting with the DJ and the picture guy…ordering invitations, tickets, picture frames…gah, it’s busy</p>
<p>I want to go to prom but since our grade sucks at fundraising our bids are $200 each - that doesn’t include tux, limo, etc. And since I don’t have a girlfriend I really don’t want to spend all that money to have a fancy dinner with some friend of mine. But I’m still on the fence.</p>
<p>I think I might not go. It’s weird cus I thought I was all about it since I had sooo much fun last year, but I kinda decided it’s sort of over for me. Haha…I don’t know, maybe I was just too into it last year, it seems kind of dumb now.</p>
<p>Frick, I’m scrambling around trying to find a date~ my prom is April 2, so I’m kinda crunching. I hate myself. I’m such a dork. lol</p>
<p>Haha…well, I know it sounds crazy, but don’t be afraid to go alone. I mean I won’t try to lie, I wouldn’t have gone without a date to prom last year, but I ended up ditching my date for most of the night anyway. Seriously, you’ll have more fun with your friends. :)</p>
<p>I wish that my school would let you go alone, but you NEED a date to go to our prom. B/c I don’t have a date, I cannot go to prom</p>
<p>With me, I know I probably won’t be able to find a date sense I have about 0 guy friends, and the friends I went with last year I have really grown away from. I just haven’t seen them, well, really at all this year. My other close friends, from my church, are going with dates, so sense I don’t want to be the only one with them without a date I might just not go. 
I’m definitely going to after prom and the King’s Island trip the next day though :)</p>
<p>Why don’t you ask your friends to ask their dates to hook you up with one of their friends? Then the guys can hang out, and they’ll be happy to go w/a friend, AND you’ll have a date! Yay, win-win! :)</p>
<p>I tried, but it didn’t work out. Then I started thinking about it, and I realized that prom is’t really all its cracked up to be… I’m gonna have a party at my house that night w/ all of my non-prom-going close friends, so it’ll be alright. Also, I go to an all-girl school, so frankly, there is a LOT of competition to get a date. Girls can be quite fierce around prom time ;)</p>
<p>pshh if you dont want to spend the money dont, after prom is really where its at
prom is just for kids who need the memories and have OCD picture taking problems…
i told my gf she could go by herself lol…</p>
