Junior Prom
Ok.. well junior prom is in two weeks, and I don't have a date. I'm a girl, so I don't plan on asking anybody, and if anybody was going to ask me, they would have asked by now.
I was just going to go with a few friends but trying to find a dress and stuff... I just realized that I really don't want to go. I mean, the only reason I'm going is to say that I went, but I have a feeling that I won't enjoy it very much (especially without a date). And I don't know if it's worth the money if I'm not going to have fun, especially because my parents can't afford it.
I don't know what to do. I don't want to not go, because then I'll be sitting at home on Saturday night while all my friends are at prom and I'll be sorry I didn't go... but if I go, I won't have fun and I'll just be miserable.
I don't know. If I had a date, it would be okay, but I don't think I'll have fun without a date. What should I do?

I think you should go. There was just a dance last night and i didnt want to go but i went anyways and i ended up having a lot of fun, and if you stay at home you might regret not going . you know ? i think its better without a date because you can dance with whoever you want. if you do go and it turns out your miserable , you can leave. there are a lot of cute cheap dresses out there . you will defiantly be able to find one for a good price. believe me if you dont go you might regret it in the end. you only get to go to prom twice. dont miss out on the experience!

We don't really do the junior prom thing in Canada, but I really didn't want to go to my senior prom. Especially because I didn't have a date.
I ended up going because my friends convinced me to, and it was a great night. We all went stag, so we weren't stuck with some boring guy we barely knew all night. It was just a night to be pretty and dance with my friends!
As for the financial end, you can get a really nice dress for under 100$. Just keep an eye out for sales.

My Jr. Prom was two days ago. I had no desire of going. All the pressure to get a date, waste money I didn't want to waste for one stupid night and everything else. So I didn't go. While at home that day I really didn't feel like I was missing anything. But when I started seeing all of my friends start posting the pictures and saying how much fun they had. I started to wonder if I should have gone. But I see it this way, we still have Senior prom. So if you don't feel like going and stuff don't, save he money and have an amazing senior prom. But you don't need a date to have fun, you just dance with everyone it's not like everyone is going to only be dancing with their date.

You DON'T need a date just to have fun. I've been to plenty parties and get togethers like these where everyone turned up with dates (most of which they got just because they were desperate and didnt want to look like they couldn't get a date) but I had an awesome time - and I wasn't drinking either. :P
As for the dress, they can get pretty expensive so it might be a good idea to have a look into seeing if there's a place near by where you can rent a dress instead of having to buy one right out. Also, just because something is very expensive doesn't always make it look pretty. Shop around and see what you can find and you may find something that you can buy without breaking the bank and still look stunning.
Never had prom or anything of the kind over in the UK until recently so technically I never went but if I had the chance I'd have taken it. As you said it's not goin to be nice you left at home and more to the point it will be something you'll regret later and all for what? Just because you had no guy ask you? Having someone ask you is nice but going with friends can be just as nice - it's what you make of it really. This'll be the only junior prom you will get so make the best of it and above all, have fun. :)
Hope I was able to help and also don't forget to let me know how it went. :)

My junior prom was last weekend. I didn't go for the very same reasons. I was so disappointed and upset when I saw my friends in their dresses/tuxes.
It was really horrible.
If your parents really can't afford it - don't make them pay for something you aren't going to enjoy.
If you don't really want to go - then don't. Find a friend who isn't going either and do something with them. If all your close friends are going, find someone who you don't normally hang out with and invite them to do something.
But if any part of you wants to go - then do it.

well just like girls, guys love it when a girl is confident enough to ask him out. if there is a guy that you wish would ask you & he's still dateless, why not ask him?
if that doesnt work out, why waste your money & go to the prom if you really dont want to. you're a junior, which means even if you dont go this year, you can still go next year.
hope this helps!
