Senior Prom: Is it overrated or over hyped?

I don’t get why Prom is so talked about. Well I guess if your popular, have plenty of friends, and don’t get bullied I can see why. Then again I am socially awkward since I don’t fit in with many people in my school since I was the tell you right in your face/party guy. I didn’t go because I didn’t want to deal with a bunch of rude loud mouth people. But I went to visit my mom’s side of the family in Denton, Texas and met up with an old friend who I went to middle school with. She needed a prom date I decided to go with her. I admit I had fun because I had people like me at their prom not to mention they had it at a center with strobe lights and disco balls and not at their school like my school did not to mention everyone had their own parties. We both went to one and ended up having fun. Now back to my town. Everyone said I should of gone to their prom even though it wasn’t that good not to mention a lot of people don’t like me because of my personality. Everyone keeps on saying that Prom is a once in a life time opportunity.

Well that’s a lie in my school’s case. They let anyone 23 and under go if their date signs them up in advanced so they get checked by the police. Not to mention a girl who I’m friends with that is a senior this year wanted me to go to prom with her.

I went to Junior prom (Gala) in middle school as well. This had to be the most bias dance ever. Certain kids were honorees in your grade (only 8th graders allowed in the dance). They had to INVITE people to go to THAT dance. If you weren’t on the final list you COULDN’T go. I only went because people wanted me to go not to mention I had more friends in middle school then high school since a lot of them moved or transferred schools. They played pranks on people on that dance.

Bottom line Yeah I don’t like to go to dances often but I only went because of friends. Do you think it’s just overrated or over hyped?
