Q: Prom/graduation
asked by: HcoBrunette06 on May 1st, 2007

gz i sure am making a lot of threads lately lol i guess i've got lots of questions.

did you guys go to your junior/senior prom and graduation??

for a while now i've been telling myself that those things don't matter, that as long as i can get done asap that i won't care because i'll be with tommy then and i'll be out on my own and blah blah blah. but last night when i was talking about "oh i'm over here hanging out with all my friends" (but i was alone Razz) he suggested that i go back to regular school for my senior year so that i could see my friends again while i had the chance.

now i'm really considering it. i even started crying lol i've realized what time i've wasted trying to get done fast so i could get out on my own when i should have been enjoying these last few years of actually being a teenager. and i think those things really do matter to me, i don't want to look back in a few years and wish that i had gone, so i think i'm going. what were yours like?

and i don't know what to do about prom either, the only reason i'd want to go is if tommy could go with me because i'd want him to see me dressed up and so we could dance together, it's not a big deal if i don't get to go. but i don't know what to do about it because his schedule changes every single month and you only know what freetime hes going to have at the beginning of every month which is really freaking lame. i don't want to get excited for a year and then find out that month that he has class during the prom lol

Hey! Well ultimately its up to you but from my experience I loved prom and my senoir year was great! I never thought I'd go to prom but I had a blast! I'm glad I didn't mss it. My sisters was also very against prom (she likes to be different then everyone else) but she decided last minute to go to hers this year and had a blast! And now shes already counting on going next year. Senior year was wonderful for me. There are lots of memories and such. The only thing I don't miss was the drama, any school with that many girls in it has drama!

i go to an alternative school, i go from 8:30 am to 11:45 am everyday.

it's a "work at your own pace" school, so you get things done a lot faster, it's where people go if they're pregnant (because of the hours, and because you can get credits for having a job) or if they're behind credits because it's so fast to catch up.

well i'm totally caught up now and even a little bit ahead, if i go back to regular school i'll be getting extra credits that i don't really need, so i thought about doing some college courses since i'll have extra classes to use, i just don't know how to go about doing that.

Your senior year is the best!!! If you are ahead of the game you would have that much more fun. Senior parties, class trips, etc. I loved the prom too.
You could just get dressed up and go with your friends. Have your prom pic done with a bunch of girls.
Your school years are the best, make the most of them while they are here. I'm sure you have heard it before, but you will miss it when it's done. Things change after that.

i have a year left at home, and even if i don't want to be here im gonna make the best of it Laughing

I'm not going to my school prom. It's on the 27th june and .Mika's due on the 23rd so it's just way too inpractical for me, i was really upset about not going but at the end of the day it's only one night and i've got a lifetime with my daughter to look forward to

I personally didn't go to my junior or senior prom. I had just transferred schools and didn't know alot of people. And my bf at the time (my dh) was too old to go, so I wasn't going to go.

I did, however, go to prom my 8th,9th, and 10th grade years. It was a blast! I'm very glad I went. I would probably resent not going to my junior/senior prom had I not already been to some.

most UK schools don't have proms or graduation parties and stuff.

The one I went to did... However our year committee team screwed things up so bad - only their friends got in the year book, they failed to organise a prom, they rang up over £1800 in personal phone call's.

and I really feel I missed out. However, it was circumstances beyond my control.

If you have the ability to change things then do it, terra.
If you look back and think - that was a crap party - or whatever, then so be it.

But if you don't you will forever look back and think - what if?

Good Luck hun

I really enjoyed my Senior year I was like you I didn't need all the credits, so I took some college classes. I don't remember exactly how I set it up but I know it took a few trips to the guidence counsler. Why don't you try talking to her/him and see if that helps anything.

To tell you the truth, I loved high school soooo much more than I did college. I know it's the other way around for a lot of people, but for me college was just something I was trying to get overwith so I could have a degree and get a job.

I had a blast in high school - especially senior year. I went to my senior prom, but I wasn't dating anyone or interested in anyone at the time, so I went with a guy I was really good friends with who was kind of in the same situation as me. We doubled with my best friend and her bf at the time, and I had way more fun than I thought I would.

My mom graduated a year early, so she skipped her senior year, basically. She said that if she could go back, she would have stayed with her class.

You don't have to grow up right this second in every little way. I say that if you have the option, you should take advantage of the opportunity to spend a little more time with your friends and at least still get to be a teenager in some sense, you know?


****Fixed. That's what I get for reading a billion posts and then going back to respond to one. Yay for paying attention.

My senior year wasn't so great, I think my junior year was the best out of all of them. My senior year I was just so worried about getting my trigonometry grade up & doing my senior project plus working every night, I didn't have much fun at all. But .I'd definately say my senior prom was so much fun. Shane & I went & my friend .Amanda was our other date, we rode in .Shanes lifted up pick up truck & went through the .Mcdonalds drivethrough all dressed up lmao. Then afterwards we went camping!

wow thanks for replying guys!

i definitely think i'm going to go back, i've told all my teachers that i am and i went to the secretary lady (since we don't have counselors at my school) and i called my old counselors to try to see if i could take some courses that have to do with what i want to do when im older (medical office assistant like michelle Smile) but there was nothing i could do lol oh well, i tried. i might keep trying to see if i could do something different, but yeah!

and like i told kristina, i think i'm going to just save the money for prom, and try not to get too excited and then just wait until next april until we find out if tommy's going to get to go and if he gets to, then great, but if not then we'll use the money for something equally exciting if not more so Very Happy

i don't want to be here just because i'm a teenager and i'm ready to get out there but as long as i have to be i'll make the best of it.
