IF I DON'T GO TO PROM, WILL I REGRET IT? 10 PTS!!!?

You remind me very much of myself. Guess what, I went through the exact same thing you did. I got bullied by everyone called ugly, made fun of, everything you just said has happened to me as well. These things aren't actually true, you have just convinced yourself that they are because these nasty people are telling you that they are. I used to believe in High School I was ugly and fat and I actually attempted suicide a few times because of it. None of the boys ever talked to me unless they were throwing food at me or calling me names. But it's very funny because I graduated a few yeas ago and now everyone in the movie and modeling industries want a piece of me because I am actually the definition or blonde bombshell. I am gorgeous and get all the attention now. But isn't it weird that back in High School everyone was so rude and I believed them to the point I tried to kill myself a few times. My looks haven't changed at all since High School, I just stopped listening to them and eventually I met some real people and my life changed. High School kids are nasty.Everything gets better after High School! People always used to tell me that back in the day and i would get pissed because I didn't believe them. Now I am living proof that this statement really is true! Also I didn't have a Prom date either... I ask a lot of boys and none of them would go with me and then all of the made fun of me for thinking that I would ever have a date like them. I literally went to the prom by myself. My best friend ditched me and totally ended our friendship that night. I ate alone, my parents dropped me off, I danced alone and did everything by myself. Eventually though during the night people started to talk to me, all those nasty people were finally being nice to me and the night turned out great. I wanted to story book prom experience just like you did but I also knew that it was unrealistic at that point but I didn't care. I just went by myself because I knew that I would look back on it one day and regret not going. I made some friends fro the first time that night and we all just look back on everyone prom dresses and the night and all still talk about it. You don't want to be the only girl in your group that can't join in on that conversation. I suggest you do what I do, Get your hair and make-up done and find a gorgeous dress. You will show up there looking the hottest you have ever looked and you will blow every ones mind. The fact that you did show up even though everyone made fun of you and you couldn't find a date will win you the respect of your peers for the first time. I promise you will be glad you went!

First of all, you are being very hard on yourself. How about concentrating on your good qualities? I'm sure you have alot of them! If you are unhappy with yourself, then do something about it! Start going to the gym regularly, start a new and healthy lifestyle, get a new hairstyle. Do things to make yourself more attractive. You will feel so much better about yourself.

It sounds to me that you are having trouble finding a date because of how unhappy you are with yourself. You will never have a relationship where you can make someone else happy if you arent happy with yourself first.

Once you do something to fix why you are so unhappy, everything else will fall together. You said yourself that attraction for a person has to be there. Well why don't you take action and make yourself more attractive?

In the mean time, I'm sure there is a guy out there who will go to prom with you. Why don't you look for a guy who seems to be going through the same situation you are going through? Even if you arent attracted to him, who cares! You can still have fun! And if all else fails, it's not the end of the world going with all of your friends. I know plenty of girls who did that and had a blast.

Stay strong. You are a beautiful person and I'm sure you have a ton of great qualities. But if there is something about yourself that you arent happy with, you have the power to change it! My advice to you is to work hard at feeling good about yourself! Make a list of the qualities that you love about yourself and build on that. Good luck. "If you keep doing what you've always done, you will keep getting what you've always gotten."

I didn't go to prom at all. Junior year I didn't have anyone to go with and went to a concert with my friend instead. I was planning on going my senior year but decided not to at the last minute. It's been a year and I don't regret it at all... just a waste of money in my opinion. Girls at my school would spend $300 on a dress, $100 on hair and makeup, and lots for a limo and dinner and everything... idk just not for me.

Side note: life will get better! you may see yourself awkward and ugly now, but everyone does at some point in their life. I'm in college now and the "popular" ones in high school are rarely that popular in college and a lot of the awkward people make friends and come out of their shells. So don't worry, life will get better.

And you will look back and wonder why you stressed out so much about something so petty.

I, in all honesty, think you will regret it. And sweetie, your mother has probably been tellimg you this your entire life, but you are beautiful in your own way. Okay, looks do matter, but they don't matter as much a kind heart, good personality, and a sense of humor. My friend is constantly complaining about how ugly she is, and I get so frustrated with her sometimes. I just wanna throw away all her makeup, and shove her face against a mirror and tell her that she is not ugly. She is the most compassionate, caring, and funniest person I know. It seems like you're just venting. YOU ARE NOT UGLY. Keep telling yourself that, then maybe it'll just come true, so STOP. And I feel you. Guys that usually like me are ugly, but completely nerdy and smart. And I have turned them down because of their looks, but so what? We're still good friends, we still hang out. Yes, if you believe you really don't look that great, then maybe you should do something about it. This is getting too long, and I should wrap it up. I guess the only way you would regret not going to prom, is when you're like 30, and you finally realize: "Man, I could have gone to the prom. It's all my fault, I shulda just went." But it's all up to you sweetie. Prom seems big, I get it, but it's just one night. One night you can spend in your room or one night you can spend grinding it up at Prom. Well, all I'm saying is that: You are a beautiful human being. And I hope you have a nice day.

So what if you don't have a guy to dance with, it's more fun to go with your friends anyway. If you go with a guy you don't really know or care about, then you will feel obligated to dance with him when you want to hang with your friends. It's only nice to dance with a guy during a couple slow songs, but at that point over half the crowd will be leaving to rest for the good songs.

You will regret missing your prom, because you didn't go with a guy.. that you only wanted for a date in the first place.

Get a dress you love, go with your friends, and have fun!

Dont feel insecurs hunny!! i didnt read all of your stuff but i did scan most of it!!! it sounds like you really want to go to prom you just dont feel its your place. this is how i feel! i think that everything that your feeling is all on the inside. no one sees you this way but you!!!! GO hun! GO to prom and have a great time! you know you will! one day youll have kids and they will ask you about prom! dont tell them that you didnt go because you didnt feel good enough inside! what is that showing your kids. how to let other people put themselves before you put yourself!???? you just need to walk in like you own the place!!! dont worry about anything!!!! And stop looking so hard for a date or a boyfriend! he will find you when you least expect it! These boys you say like you are ugly?? thats no way to be!! I'll bet that your really pretty and the pretty guys are just too afraid to ask you! if you feel this badly about it maybe you should ask someone instead of watching all the cute guys get taken! do something worth remembering! why go through life unnoticed!!! DO IT!!! and have fun!!! =D

Good luck to you hun!! =D God bless!

you'll always wonder about it so just go with friends, thats what I'm doing. You don't need a guy. Plus highschool is awkward for alot of people. I'm sure you're not as bad looking as you think. And if you're insecure, try wearing nicer clothes and putting a bit more makeup on. You don't need to get your hair done to change it, put it in a ponytail or wear it a different way.

hmmm probably. and um, FYI, your a senior. earn some money, since mom wont take you. go get your nails done. get a new hairstyle besides that boring hair you have now. go to a really nice makeup boutique, or walmart if youre on a budget, and get some high quality brand makeup.. like eyeliner, really good mascara, etc... sneak outta your house if you have to.. Shoot I would..

ill put some links on how to do Taylor Swift Makeup/Hair if you dont mind..

dont be so dependable on yahoo answers. actually do something about it. get out there and prove you deserve a chance to look just as beautiful as the next girl. the only thing stoping you, is you.

Go with your friends of course! Hah kidding, but you're really overreacting to that. Pfft just don't go then. I certainly don't intend to go to mine, it's utter silliness in my opinion unless, yeah, you have a guy you're mad in love with. I don't. You don't. Reasons aside, who cares? Thing is, living the prom night dream isn't going to fix anything for you, neither is having a guy. You have to do those things yourself, not your friends, not your mother, but you. Ask a girlfriend about makeup options, or go online and research how to do makeup. Find a hair style you personally like. Experiment with different looks. You aren't going to find one until you try. As for the rest of what you need, which is confidence, I can't help you with that, that's a path you have to find alone.

I cried after reading this and i think you should try to look as pretty as anyone else there. Put your hair either up or down or however it usually isn't and go there and put makeup on and brush ur teeth extra the day before and eat a mint and chew bubble gum and then wear a beautiful dress that will want to make the girls jealous but his has to fit you in ur looks. and fer ur eye lids, there's this thing my mom does with me, since urs are so red, u should get a makeup kit, glitter, and a black with little bit of red on it. then with ur eyelids, put dark red makeup like eyeshadow on them, and then put little sparkles on them. and you might want to paint ur nails too if you want. does this help??
