Up to you dude. Prom wasn't anything great for me. Mostly just sat a table, got bored, left early, went to the afterparty, got smashed.

After party >> prom. If possibly, attend the after party, get drunk, and lose the social awkwardness.


BTW, that friends forever shit, highschool BFF's for life stuff is a pile of crap. First year after high school I saw my high school friends maybe 2-3x in a year, after that life got busy and I didn't have time any more; haven't seen most of them since. We had some good times, but after high school reality sets in quick and most people change a lot ... i don't think I could get along with my high school friends any more. Any ways, moral of my story is don't get too hung up on being friends with everyone/doing everything everyone else does. Do what you want as long as it makes you happy.

If you're biggest worry is your social anxiety in big group situations, get creative and somehow smuggle some booze in and get tipsy .. should alleviate the awkwardness. Or turn you into a massive horndog who doesn't take no for an answer.
