I'm gonna cut this cause well there is a slight Glee spoiler for Prom that basically everyone knows but yeah it's more personal high-school experience then anything else.



So ok in High School I was anything but popular, I was a band geek and had my little group of friend. I had major acne(giant pores that absorb everything I still fight it) and overweight.

So every year we ballot vote for Coming Home Court(like homecoming but for football) each grade gets 2 girls then the seniors get 3 and one is queen. So anyway Junior year the boys decided that they would do this great thing and all vote for me and the 2 other girls in my grade that were really less then popular. So I get called to the teacher in charge and told I had been nominated, and first I refused and really wanted to cry, but later I went back and said yes I would do it.

So yeah glee tonight made me remember that, and my heart ache for Kurt cause I know that feeling, that being blindsided and feeling that everyone is just being a cruel as can be. I don't regret accepting though, end the end I got to wear a pretty dress, ride around in a very expensive car and the guys all pissed off their girlfriends and the teachers were insanely supportive and said if anyone did/said anything they would be all over it. So yeah it really backfired on them but anyway

/end random trip down memory lane.

So people suck....because they did the exact same thing to a girl my senior year. They all ganged up on this girl who was not popular and overweight and nominated her for homecoming court. But the administration decided that the nominators had...nefarious plans for this nomination and put the kibosh on it. So I never found out exactly what they wanted to do, which was good. Because my class was incredibly cruel.

Thank god high school is OVER.

I was totally Mercedes, except I didn't have a Sam to save me from the stigma of going to prom alone. I asked the guy I was crushing on (who was already taking someone else), my dance partner in the musical that year (whose parents wouldn't let him go) and then another guy who I was on the newspaper staff with in a fit of desperation (who boycotted the prom because it was stupid.)

LOL yeah, I went to a high school with 400 total people, so there wasn't a lot of options (especially once you cut out the guys that were in the NO WAY IN HELL NOT EVEN IF HE WERE THE LAST HUMAN BEING ON EARTH...which was about 99 percent of the guys in my school). I could have asked one of the guys from the neighboring town, but no.

My senior prom, we had terrible DJs who didn't play requests and played really crappy music and it was REALLY HOT (it was 95 degrees that day and we had no a/c in the gym) and they wouldn't let us leave for fear that we would all get drunk in the parking lot. The McDonalds wasn't even open 24/7 in my town at that point, so when we got out, there was nowhere to go (except after prom, which was okay I guess....) and my parents had already vetoed allowing me to go to IHOP in the other neighboring town 30 minutes away after after prom.

To sum it up: prom is lame.

People are so awful. I don't understand the impetus to do something shitty someone to make themselves feel better. It was nice to see Kurt stand up to it and I'm glad you did too and had support because people need to know it's not okay.

I didn't go to prom because at the time I would rather pretend that it didn't matter to me than go through the hurt of not being asked since I was pretty much like you except I did yearbook instead of band. People I didn't know would walk up to me all the time and call me yearbook girl and ask me for things.

Awww, I had something similar too, got voted class rep because then they spent the whole time ridiculing me.
I feel so sad for Kurt, even more so because... there was just no punchline.
