You missed a party, simple as that man.
You miss hundreds of parties in your town every week.
No point in dwelling upon a fact that you cannot change.
We create our own memories, for some, prom is a great one to have, or an awful one, or for most... it just fades away.
The possibility of what it could have been is your crux, get over it, and enjoy the possibilities of the future.

No. At the time it seems amazing but if you experience college then you realize how much it pales in comparison to anything that happens then.

I went and won a free laptop out of it, I've had it ever since. I'm on it right now 
So, yeah, I'm glad I went.
Not everyone wins free shit though. I enjoyed it because I was drunk as fuck at my prom.

Yeah, but OP is part of the shroomery as well. To be honest I was pretty "normal" in high school but that doesn't mean I didn't recognize prom for the bullshit that it was. I think pretty much anyone who has been out of high school for a few years (and isn't a woman) will give you the same general answer: I had fun, but it was pretty stupid.

prom only means anything if you're a girl, or if you like to dress up. I didn't go, and have no regrets.

Also depends on the person.
A lot of people I went to high school with still live in the same town. They finished high school, but then just sort of hung around and never did too much. For them, prom was like their social world series. Other people have a lot more important things to worry about then prom though.

Prom was lame for me. Afterprom was even lamer. My girl invited her friend and date over to my house to watch movies with us which sort of thwarted my plans of having any fun afterward. I think I got a little play when they passed out on each other but she was afraid we'd wake them up

I went, it was lame and I regret it. Just the ticket alone, not factoring in other sizable expenses, was $80. I woulda much rather bought an ultra primo eighth and a bucket of KFC to share with a friend or two.

i went to 4 proms.. junior year with a friend, senior year my girlfriend who was a sophmore, i graduated but had to go with her to both her junior and senior prom.
i wasnt really a fan of any of them but by the last one i was like.. i am way too old for this nonsense.
the best looking girls in the school look like shit cause of the gaudy ass dresses and all the clown makeup they put on. the guys look like douchebags cause they get the most obnoxious tuxedos they can find..
i guarantee that there was at least one guy at every one of your proms that had a white tux with a top hat and cane.

I was never into school functions. Id rather sit at my friends place and get high. I didn't go to prom or the graduation trip crap.I went to 1 football game to see what the fuss was about and got bored and left 5 minutes into it. School functions are for nerds who don't think they're nerds.....

Unless you've got a girlfriend or something prom is lame, and even then it's still lame, you're just with your girlfriend, so you're expecting the 'after prom' night feature, rather than the prom itself.
You only missed out on the head.

imo missing the actual prom is no big deal. you wait around to take photos and eat and get in the venue. at least my highschool did. it's the prom after-party that you'd be missing out on.. every single social group in my graduating class came together and partied like we had all been friends throughout highschool. it was kind of nice.
