Need advice for Year 12 formal

[Liam007]

Hi all, just a quick question or topic of discussion.

So my Year 12 formal is this year and I really don't want to go and it's causing me a lot of worries and anxiety

I know the decision is mine and everything but I'm just asking for opinions

Would you consider the Year 12 formal important? I don't want to go, but is it wrong to not want to go?

Just a question

dear Liam, well you have to take into account whether you have a partner that has picked you and if she has organised special transport as well as her dress as it's a day that they want to remember.

I believe that they can pick someone else, who hasn't been selected or maybe from year 11, but I'm not too sure about this, but you wouldn't be the only one who doesn't want to go, and remember that everyone would be very nervous.

If you decide not to go then everyone would caught up in all the excitement, the parents would have a few drinks and all of this would just blow over, it just depends on whether you really like the person you are going with. Geoff.

 I'm afraid I don't think I could find someone to go with and also the fact I couldn't find anyone to talk with there.

I could also be feeling bad about the year, but it's months away so I'm not sure what to do

 Thanks, Liam

Hi,

I am 100% sure that I myself will not find anyone to go with me to my formal this year. Don't worry about that. I think that if a person has someone to go with them, then sure, they should go together. But I don't think it should be a requirement.

If you do not wish to go to the formal, do not let anyone force you into it. Like you said, it is entirely your decision, and I don't think you should force yourself to go if you do not want to.

As to my opinion on whether the formal is important - my close friends have already bought their dresses and I was surprised at that. I hadn't even thought that far ahead (this was late November). Some people seem to consider it very important, but I am not among them. I see it as something that will probably be pretty fun, or maybe it's going to suck. I have no idea. I don't think it's a massively important thing. I could definitely survive not going. It is a chance to celebrate the end of your high school era, but if you choose to do so in another way (or not at all), I think that's completely fine.

I don't know if this helps at all, and I hope the formal does not end up stressing you out too much.

Hi, I currently have a girlfriend who I am madly in love with. The problem is that she lives about 45 minutes away and goes to a different school. So I was wondering if when my year 12 formal comes around whether or not I’ll be able to go with her and if not are there ways around it (e.g, bring her as a ‘guest’)

thanks
