Prom is a special time in your life. Not everyone looks forward to prom, though. Does this mean that you are weird or that you are going to regret not going? Unfortunately, this is a decision that many girls (and guys) have to make on their own. No one can tell you that you do have to go to prom. At the same time, you do not want to make a decision that you will regret the rest of your life. Before you make this decision, keep a few important things in mind.
What does prom mean to you? This is the first question you have to ask yourself. Prom means something different to each person. Do you see prom as a unique moment in time? Or, do you see prom as just another dance? For many girls, prom has special meaning. It is a time of moving from being a girl to being a woman. For others, though, it just means spending a lot of money and time looking good. Explore what prom means to you before you make this decision. Then, after giving it some thought, look at it from the other direction. Does it appeal to you on any level?
The next step in making this decision is all about talking to others. Find a few people that you are close enough to and talk to them about prom. Start with your parents and find out if they went and if they regret their decision. Find out from aunts, even 20 year old family members. You won't know what you will feel about not going to prom, but getting a perspective from those who may not have (and even those who did go) can help you to realize what you may feel later.
