Q: You will undoubtedly have classmates who aren't going to prom either. If you have any classmates you're friends with who happen to also be skipping the event, ask them if they want to hang out on prom night. You'll feel a lot better knowing that you aren't alone, and doing something social will keep you from feeling like you're missing out. Consider throwing your own anti-prom party! Invite a bunch of classmates who aren't going to prom over for pizza, games, and fun. That way, you can turn missing out into an opportunity to get to know some classmates you aren't already friends with. If you don't have any friends that are skipping the dance and you think you'll just get bummed out being around classmates, ask your family to hang out with you on prom night. Hanging out with your family is not only healthy, but it will keep your mind off of the kids at your school. Besides, your family is probably going to do their best to cheer you up! Play some board games or go out for a fun family dinner! Your parents will appreciate you going out of your way to spend time with them, especially if you're going away to college in a few months. If being around people sounds like it will bum you out, engage your mind on prom night to stay focused on something else. Watching a movie or reading a book is a great way to fill your time, and missing prom night may be a good opportunity to catch up on a couple of chapters or finally see that movie you wanted to watch. Video games are a great way to distract yourself because they force you to shift your attention towards the game. Get active to keep your body moving and your mind clear. It's hard to picture everyone else having fun if you're running around a basketball court or playing some late-night catch and enjoying yourself. If you're doing something alone, add another layer of distraction by throwing some headphones in. Music will improve your mood while you work out or play. Running and biking are simple activities that you can easily perform at night that don't require a park.
A: Hang out with other students who aren't going to the dance. Hang out with your family if all your friends are out at prom. Watch a movie, read a book, or play some video games. Get physical by playing some sports or working out.
