I didn't care for renting a tux and being trapped at my school until 11:00 with nothing to do that I would enjoy. However, it is considered a part of the "High School Experience". A lot of shows and movies make it seem like prom some kind of milestone in your life. Is it normal that I decided not to go?
Yeah I skipped prom, by the sounds of it I didn't miss anything and saved a bunch of money.
Some people even skip graduation ceremonies. They have better things to do.
I didn't go to any proms (which were yearly) or to the graduation ceremony. I saved a ton of cash and time. I know I would have hated the experience of wasting money to be with a bunch of false people and to pretend I'm having fun while I'm not. I also don't spend time with my flatmates at all, while they're all partying and all that and they probably consider me a weirdo. Everytime I see a group of people having small talk I become incredibly bored and listening to them drains me of energy massively in a matter of seconds. I feel the need to go away and recover by doing something I enjoy. I don't regret my choices one bit.
I didn't go to mine either. I didn't feel like pissing away money to go to a place with bad music and activities I didn't care for. A lot of people who went said it was lame, so I didn't miss out.
I went to one yearly prom. It was oh hum okay. I didn't bother with the final year prom. Besides that I didn't have a gf in the final year leading up to the prom.
these "milestones" are what you make of them. if its someone else's big deal, it may not be yours. thats fine
p.s. you sound edgy as shit chill
I never went. It's stupid and girly. Only people that like the Notebook care about prom.
Didnt go to prom either lol too expensive at the time and also i didnt want to see couples having such a romantic time and my forever alone self just awkwardly smiling and stuffing my face in the corner. i can do that in the comfort of my own home lmao
Is it possible that you didn't go to your prom because you couldn't get a date?
It's normal, at least you had the chance to go to prom, just be happy for that you know
I've read that 53% of Americans didn't attend prom. So plenty of people didn't, and most didn't regret it.

I've heard lots of people say that if they don't sew their wild oats when they're young (such as partying, clubbing, sleeping around in their 20s), that they'll regret it.
There are a higher percentage of people who feel that they would regret not partying in college than whether they go to their high school prom or not.
