Posted: 4/5/12 at 5:10pmI will say that Junior Prom is waaaay more fun that Senior Prom. Senior Prom is just too fraught. Junior Prom is just plain fun.

We only had Senior Prom at my school (as well as the other schools in our district). The rest were just school dances for everyone. I had only heard about other proms from movies and it sounded odd to me. Senior Prom was the big huge special event that everyone looked forward to since starting high school. And it was closely linked to graduation, so the last month of senior year with finals, prom and graduation, was the BIG BANG that everyone waited for.
Oh, and we had grades 9-12 at our school, but I later learned that many high schools in the US were grades 10-12. Or in the case of my brother's high school, grade 9 had its own building next to the main campus completely isolated from middle school and high school. America is so weird.

Posted: 4/5/12 at 6:13pmAbsolutely. I was the only one of my friends who went without a date and I had more fun than all of them put together. (Granted, I really hate dances and skipped my senior prom.) It's much easier to go alone, I think, rather than spend the night tethered to your date.

Posted: 4/5/12 at 9:16pmEVERYONE says Junior Prom was more fun, but I'm the complete opposite. Senior prom was a blast!!

I went dateless to my junior prom, and all my friends had dates (mostly non-romantic ones with each other... somehow I was left out of the pairing off). But whatever. We all hung out together, and it was fun, and I didn't mind not having a date.
I say go. Have fun.

My junior prom was more fun. I didn't mention in my first post, but I didn't have a date for either of mine. But, that's more because I was really shy and didn't think anyone would go with me. And it doesn't help to not get asked either. But, I still had a great time.
Junior year was more fun because everything was better. The venue we had for senior prom sucked in comparison. We also got less for our money at that one.

Regret has to do with you, not the event. Do you WANT to go, or do you think you SHOULD go? Big difference.
I went to both of mine and had fun. That being said, some 30 years later, I don't have a lot of specific memories of either one, so it really isn't a big deal one way or the other -- but it was at the time. (I can't even tell you the name of my jr. prom date....maybe it was Mike.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I would say go, definitely.
If you don't have a good time, well, there are no guarantees in life. But then, you could have a great time and be very happy you went.
But if you don't go, then all you'll be left with are second thoughts as to whether you should have gone or not. With no possibility of a redo.
If you can, never miss out on those once-in-a-lifetime moments. If you do, you'll have the rest of your lifetime to regret it.

Posted: 4/6/12 at 7:52amI hurt my foot a week before my Jr Cotillion (freshmen formal, sophomore social, junior cotillion, senior prom.... we were all about the dances), and my date ditched me. So my (male) best friend took me. I had a gorgeous red dress and hair all did..... with adidas sneakers. Typical Tink. I didn't bring my crutches but only wore my heels for pictures. But all night every other girl was so envious of me wearing sneakers so.... I had a blast. And then in typical Northern NJ fashion - took a limo to a karaoke bar in the village that served underage and got trashed.

I say go. I went to my junior prom solo, and really just enjoyed the night for what it was - a great night with friends. I attended every dance of my high school years sans one, and I just enjoyed them for the fun aspect of it all.
I join the chorus of go solo and make a night of it.

The title of this thread is misleading. You were asked, but you are considering not going because that creepy a-hole might give you crap about going alone.
Come on. Go to the damn dance if you want to. Don't leave your friends behind. 'Cause there are going to be weirdos bugging you about stuff as long as you give off the vibe that you're going to tolerate that crap. Go, enjoy. And if the weirdo starts stalking you, act crazier than he does and scare him off.
