A lot of people in high school think that Prom is their last chance to really let loose with their friends and then they will never see them again.  They have to go all out and get the bestprom dressesjust so they can preserve the memory forever.  But the truth is, you will still see a lot of your friends after high school and prom is really just to have a good time instead of making sure that you make a good memory.  If you just let loose and not worry about having the perfect night, then it will turn out to be one of the best nights of your life.

So try to save a little of your parent's money and buy anaffordable prom dressthat will not burn a huge hole through your family's wallet.  Sometimes the reality of the matter is that if your expectations are set a little too high, then it will be impossible to reach them.  There are quite a few ways that you can prevent this from happening though and here are a few to keep you from getting caught up on the imperfect stuff.

When you and your date go to take the prom picture, take a serious photo, but then goof off a little bit.  You are still kids after all and it does not take a long time to grow up.  After high school, you only have a few more years before the real world hits you.  And after that, adiscount prom dresswill not seem like that big of a deal.  It's also a good idea not to engage in any kind of drug or alcohol related situations when you enter school grounds.  At this point during senior year, there are always a few kids that get suspended or even expelled because they think there's nothing the school can do to them.  They are already accepted to college, but all of it can disappear in an instant if you don't graduate high school.  So save all the drinking and drug use for college where it belongs and make it a clean prom for you and your parent's sake.  They are already going to be worrying about you staying out past dawn.  In the end, Prom is best when you are sober and when you aren't taking yourself too seriously.  And don't forget after prom either; it's fun.
