Prom?
Ok, here's the deal. My boyfriend and I (we're both 17 and juniors) have been dating for 4 months... well, it'll be 5 months by the time prom rolls around. We really love each other and we both think that prom might be fun to go to. However, there are some complications. Firstly, people say that if you go to your junior prom it completely takes away the value of your senior prom. Is that true? Secondly, right around prom is a festival in my hometown that I look forward to attending all year long. I go almost every year and always have a really amazing time. Here's the problem though: I don't have a job and the festival's really pricey (usually $100+) and it takes me most of the year to save up for it. So, as you can probably see, I'd have to choose going to one or the other. The thought of missing either makes me pretty sad. Thirdly, my boyfriend is SUPER shy. Although I know he wants to go, he'd probably not dance... Which is fine. I probably wouldn't dance too much either... But anyways, what else is there to do at prom? Would we just be bored out of our minds? And finally and fourthly, I would say that I would just go to prom next year and go to the festival this year (the festival is always going to be here, prom's not). But, then again, there's no guarantee that my boyfriend and I are going to be together next year (but I hope and believe we are going to be)... And I want to go to prom with HIM. BLAH! I have no idea what to do :( and I have to decide really soon! Please give me your advice/experiences to try to help me with this difficult choice... Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you guys are going to help me.

I personally could have lived very well without going to either prom. I never did understand what the big deal was. Same as all the other school dances...except it costs at least twice as much.
But, I've always been a little different. :)
Unless you really, really want to go to the prom, I think I would be asking the boyfriend to the festival instead. I'd at least ask him and see which he would rather be doing. He may see prom as a once in a lifetime experience, or he might just be thankful he has a way out of it!
Talk it over with him and see what he thinks.

I would definitely choose the festival this year and prom next year. It seems the most logical considering I myself want to wait until my last year to go to the prom. Trust me, when you do something amazing twice the 2nd time is always slightly less appreciated, and you want to have fun in your high school prom as much as possible!
If you're worried about not being together with him next year and not being able to go to prom with him, which I'm pretty sure you guys will go together, you can always make him promise to take you to the prom next year. I know it sounds a little demanding, but it'll give a little hope of future in your relationship, if you know what I mean.
So I hope I got my thoughts across. Just have fun at whatever you may choose to go!

I think that def go to your prom next year. its wwaayy more important. and if you and your bf last,then even though he doesnt wanna really dance it will be worth the wait. $ wise itll be better to.
