Well said, Mia. Myself, I did attend high school and chose not to attend prom. If I can recall correctly, I think I would have preferred to rub ground glass in my eyes!
Looking back.......I still don't regret it.

I never attended a high school reunion, I've had no interest. And I don't have fond memories of my high school years like a lot of people. I was in a very poor academic fit and it was not a good experience.
