I didn't go to any of my dances or proms. I went to one sports dinner/event thing for my softball team when I was in Junior High (8th grade). I was bored and my parents paid too much for my dress because the event sounded like it was going to be way nicer than it actually was. They didn't even get the name right on my 'award' (slip of cheap printing paper). In High School I was never asked to any dances and everything seemed way too expensive for me to just go and be by myself all evening. I remember acquaintances putting done hundreds of dollars of their own money to apparently be miserable. None of it seemed worth it, to me.
My parents were a bit upset by this. I told them I'd dress up and let them take pictures so they could pretend I'd gone, if that made them feel better. It would be like taking a picture of a one year old with a balloon and saying, "Oh, it was your 1st Birthday party!".....but there was no party, because babies don't remember shit.
