Best friend dateless to prom
So my best friend goes to a different school than me, but she doesnt have a date to prom and shes soo distraught about it :/ like she basically hates life just because of this. i do have a date so im afraid of saying something that will make her mad at me or somewhat resentful.
What can i say to her to make her feel better? Or what can i do for her? like bring her ben & jerry's with a note or something haha.
i dont know, i just feel bad because shes so miserable and i feel like i cant help her :(

If you want to be a good friend and help your friend have a good time, get a group of your friends together and go to the prom as a group. You can still go with your date, but get some friends that have dates and some friends that are going alone, both male and female. You could all go out to eat together before prom in your dresses (or before getting dressed up if you want). Take the emphasis off of having a date.
I understand if you don't want to do that for your friend. I understand if you feel like that would be sacrificing your good time... but if you think that sounds like it might be fun, I think it would probably cheer your friend up.
When I was a freshman in high school I wasn't going to go to the homecoming dance because I didn't have a date, but then a group of my friends said "Hey we're all going together and you're not the only one without a date!" I went with them (stag) and there were several of us that didn't have dates, and I had a lot of fun. Then junior and senior year I did the same thing with a group of friends. That time I had a date and some of my friends did not. It's just a suggestion, but I hope you'll consider it... especially if you don't want your friend to have a lousy time.

Wow thats a real suker not having a date to prom because its realy big thing but you should tell her thats its not the end and she dosent need a boy to have fun at HER prom a boy wont make you have any more fun than you would by your self you should tell her that there will be other times when things dont turn out her way but that dosent mean that you should mope around about it life's to short to do that and if she does get mad at you (which she probably won't )tell her that she need tough love and a real friend will give it to you and remember i am always availible (i chech it every day:)
Good Luck

Prom is a big deal in a teenagers life. i my self didnt go to prom. but i was young single mother. you can go to prom and not have a date. her friends will be there. and you never no there may be a guy going who is going dateless as well. she could dance with you or other friends at some songs. just convince her to go and help her have a good time.

I disagree with the previous advice from sia.
It does suck if you don't have a date for the prom because it lowers your self esteem, alot. I mean, almost everyone around you was asked to prom and you have no one to go with or have a romantic evening with, it's gonna be hard. so just be there for her, show that you care. Tell her she won't be alone and that she's not the only one.
If you want, that ben and jerry's thing is a nice idea. get 2 spoons, and dig in :]
Yes, it's not the end of the world, [as sia put it] but it BLOWS and might feel liek it.
All you can really do is be there for her and support her :] you're doing great as it is, showing you care and being a great friend is really going to help her through this :] just make her smile and laugh.
good luck, have fun at prom :] and keep being the great friend that you are ! xxo hope i helped.
