#noprom

You know how your parents always tell you you’ll regret not going to prom and how you’ll never get an opportunity like that ever again? And you know how you brush them off and you think it doesn’t matter but you end up going anyway and usually you have fun or you pretend to? 

That’s not going to be me. I’m not going to prom , and I have legitimate reasons why. Prom is a place where girls dress up to make themselves feel beautiful, when they already are. Prom is a breeding zone for self hatred. You sit there and you compare your makeup to another girls, or you compare the dress you had to get or you compare dress sizes or cup sizes or boyfriend or etc. Prom is meant to be fun yet underneath it all it boils self hatred. Boys compare their girlfriend and their after prom plans. They say you can go by yourself or your friends but if you do you’re always mocked by someone higher on the social rank than you or you see the girl who rejected you dancing with the football jock. Prom is a sexual place. I’m not going to lie. Almost every high school Senior going to prom wants their girlfriend to dress up sexy or their boyfriend to take them to a hotel or a house or somewhere with a bed after. I don’t like that. I don’t like being grinded on by people I’ll never meet again. I don’t like being in situations with a thousand people and not knowing where to go if something goes wrong. I don’t like feeling alone, in a room full of “ friends”.
