Other Answers (9) yup! :) i would recommend going. i didn't know if i was gonna go. all my friends in my group had dates, and i didn't. pictures and slow dances were a bit awkward, but besides that, i had a good time. kinda overrated, but i am glad to have went through the experience. it is essentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. you don't want to regret not going. one of my friends didn't go, and he really wishes he had. the worst thing that could happen is that you have a bad time. eventually, you will look back and laugh about it. if you don't go and sit around feeling bad for yourself, you will look back and feel regretful for the opportunity lost. I didn't go to prom and I sort of regret it now, I just didn't have a date and all of my friends were going with their boyfriends so I felt left out. I had a good time though and went to dinner with my family instead. I'm in college but I didn't go to prom in high school and I don't regret it one bit. Everyone I knew then said it sucked and was not worth their time, rather a waste of money spending on clothes, etc etc.
