Prom: Know Everyone and Dislike Most of Them
I'm a girl, and a senior in small, rural high school. Classes are small, and I’ve been here since I was little, so I know everyone.
Normally I go to my school's dances with my best friend, from another school, and we hang out with my friends and dance. Usually, if she’s not there, I have an awful time. This year, both our proms fall on the same day--a month and a half from now. This means we can't go together. I’ll be alone there. I mean, I’ll have friends at Prom, but most of them with graduated, left town, drifted away from me, or found boyfriends.
There are a few options. I could always ask an underclassman to go to the dance with me, but all the boys at my school always reject me (even underclassmen!), and those who wouldn’t are taken or have moved. I could also tag along with a group, but don’t enjoy myself that much when I do (although, it's better than when I go alone). I would try to “meet new people” but everyone I don’t know will be someone else’s date—there will be less than 100 people at prom.
My prospects outside of school are limited; there's only one guy who would go with me if he could and he's out of state. I don't have any female friends I could tag along with who aren't either annoying or annoyed by me.
Worse, the prom budget this year is almost nonexistent, probably won't be too great, and ticket prices will be high. Further, I haven't found a cheap dress yet, and I’m kinda poor.
Should I even go to prom at all? And if I do, how can I make sure that I’ll have fun?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Just go however you have to. In a group or alone. It is your last one after all.
I think the best way for you to make sure you have fun is to put on a happy face! You sound so down! It will be great! The final time to see all
those people you dislike all dressed up in over priced clothes! Come on, cheer up.Let me know how it goes.:)

maybe have your friend try and get a guy to match you up with. if she does it soon..you guys can double date or something to see if you like him. if you like him..have him come to yours..or you go to his..i mean you would have a date and her..so ithink it would be funner to hang with them than being unahppy at your prom. The one guy..if you ask him about it now..maybe he can make it to your prom? i mean you never know right? You should really go to prom! this is something all seniors should go to. To have fun, try and match up with the guy out of state or through your friend who can hook you up..look for prom dress sales. Theres a thrift store 45 mins away from me..is there one by you? I mean get something..even if its from walmart! i found a prom-like dress for $20 one time at fashion bug..so try that. If you cant get the guy from out of state or a date through your friend..then go anyway! When they play upbeat songs..start dancing with a group! at prom everyone is happy and they wont reject you or anythign! and i bet maybe one of your friends dates might slow dance with you if you ask. stuff like that can make your night memorable. Just because you dont go all out on a dress or have a date..you can still party with the people arouund you :)
