Taking Your Cousin to Prom (actually JR/SR)
So, no one asked me to JR/SR (our school's version of prom). As a junior, I went by myself last year and hung out with my friend (a girl) who went solo as well. It wasn't especially fun because the couples sort of isolated themselves from the singles. This year, I don't really want to go by myself but the only other girl in my class who is going by herself is "going" with a girl in the JR class and then meeting up with another girl and guy in my class who are going together as a couple. But, the JR girl and the guy in my class are then coupling up b/c they like each other. So, if I went with them, I would kind of being a third(or fifth) wheel. And, the only two or three guys in my class who I don't know for sure have dates are probably going together. And, I would rather the guy ask than the girl for the sake of keeping tradition. It would be awkward to go with 2 or 3 guys as a group with me being the only girl. So, anyways, my question is: Would it be weird for me to take my cousin who is in 9th grade but is actually only 2 years younger than me to the event? He's really outgoing and fun; the only complication is that his sister is in my class. We're friends and everything, but she's much more of a social butterfly than I am and I don't want to take the spotlight from her. Also, I don't want other people to think I'm weird. Should I tell a lot of people or wait and show up with him? (He also told me it's been his dream to go to JR/ SR all four years.)

I wish there wasn't so much pressure to get a date for prom, but unfortunately there is. It's a huge deal for one night and people make themselves miserable trying to arrange things.
To be honest, people will most likely think it is very weird that you take your cousin to prom. Kids are cruel and you will be talked about.
I suggest trying to find someone who has a friend from another school that you can take, or just go solo and tag along with a group of friends. Don't stress about it, because honestly people are too concerned with their own situation to notice who your date is.
Good luck,
