Can the teenagers (and twentysomethings) please angst? — Page 243

that was sure to keaton.

i guess there's someone i sort of could ask but he's said that he's taking someone from out of school. ppl don't know if this is really true or not and i guess he's probably go w/ me, or the person i mentioned who might ask me, but i'm not aggresive that way. i feel like if someone doesn't ask me who still doesn't have a date, they don't want to go w/ me so i don't want to sort of force them or whatever by asking

Alix - I went to both my junior and senior proms with dates, but they were both friends, and nothing more. The situation both years was "hey, prom's soon... got a date?" "Nope. You?" "Nope. Let's go together so we can pretend we're cool." And that's just what we did.

That said, my junior prom was held in my high school's gym, so people just all showed up in their own cars, no real "groups." My senior prom was at a fancy hotel not too far away, and we all went in limos, the whole nine yards. I went with a group of 14 friends of mine, most with dates and some without. It sounds like you've got a group going, so it shouldn't matter if you've got a date or not. Don't go looking for one just to have, because chances are it'll end up being an awkward situation, and one of you may feel obligated to be "tied" to the other for the evening; that's not fun. Prom shouldn't be about who has a date and who doesn't. That's going to make it boring, stressful, and easily forgettable. You should go to spend time with your friends. So, screw the date, wear that awesome dress, and go have a great night with your friends.

thanks emcee. see i was thinking that same thing for a while, but then today i was thinking about it, and the people in my group who have dates (mostly all) i think will pretty much be spending their time with each other. also, even though it will probably be some fun, it will be depressing thinking that i'm there without a date, because it's representative of high school social life which i can't escape for another two years.

Awwww I'm sorry... you can't be the *only* one inthat situation... don't worry I'm sure you'll have fun whether you have a date or not. Feel free to angst here anytime





alright. I guess its my turn...

how to start...
well umm I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now... and ummmm...
I think I might be bisexual.

And you know the song 'see me' from BARE? That just happened pretty much between a friend and I.

and I'm going to be mauled to death at school. Texas isn't exactly accepting of these things. I feel so alone and alienated, and I want advice but I can't bring myself to post a new topic because I really don't need a bunch of gay-and-proud posters congratulating me right now.

Please promise me you wont say anything to other.. if others find out thats fine but only if they figure out by themselves.

I won't say a word, OBOG. You can delete the post after a few minutes if you want to. I don't blame you for being worried. Although I think you'll get less of a lambasting over being bi than you would be gay. (Do you think you're gay?)

*crawls into hole with OBOG*

i probably won't ask anyone (b/c i don't have the courage too - damn, i thought i was more self-confident than that) and just go and hope for the best. maybe my friend will ask me, but that could end up being awkward, so hopefully i'll just be able to go w/ my group and have a good time. it's just depressing not having anybody that wants to go w/ you. it's so much that i need a date. it's that nobody wants me to be their date.

lol, i hope so

---

Alix, what are you wearing???

OBOG, you still around?

sorry, sorry, very sorry, it's a black dress...i think i can put a picture on my fan photos but it might take a few minutes, i'll try to

::pokes head out of hole::
Sure. Plenty of room... Come on in and join the party

'Although I think you'll get less of a lambasting over being bi than you would be gay. (Do you think you're gay?)'
Nah its all the same to them... And do I think I'm gay? I have no idea what think anymore... 2 weeks ago I was pretty damned sure I was straight... whos to say I'm not gay?

'You need to do what you think is right, WHEN you think it's right.'
Yea I've been trying...except so far what I've been thinking is wrong






Thanks you guys... would never have gotten to sleep without at least posting that


I think I'll go curl up in fetal position and listen to Bare and Taboo for the rest of my life now...
