" &amp;quot;The prom dress I wanted was gorgeous, but it was one size too big. When I tried it on, it was only a little loose, and I thought my boobs were large enough to hold up the top. On prom night, the music was playing and I was wrapped up in the excitement. As I jumped around, my boob popped out. I had to spend the rest of the night clutching my top!&amp;quot; --Beatrice, 22, Portland, ME &amp;quot;On prom day, my girlfriends and I went out for lunch. I started to feel sick after the meal, but I knew prom was too important to miss over a bellyache. That night, my date and I started dancing and we were having a really good time. We were having such a good time that we started to make out near the punch table. As we were kissing, I started to feel sick again. I didn&amp;#039;t want to seem like a loser, so I kept kissing him. All of a sudden, I puked all over my dress and his tux!&amp;quot; --Lauren, 18, New Windsor, NY &amp;quot;At prom I decided I would dance with this nerdy guy who had a crush on me since seventh grade. After all, I was graduating and I thought it was the nice thing to do. I walked up to him and said, &amp;#039;I know you&amp;#039;ve liked me for a long time, but I just want to be friends...do you still want to dance?&amp;#039; He replied, &amp;#039;Okay, but I haven&amp;#039;t ever really liked you like that!&amp;#039; It was so embarrassing!&amp;quot; --Jackie, 18, Amory, MS &amp;quot;I found an amazing prom dress at Sears. All the other girls I knew had preordered designer dresses, and I was really embarrassed that mine was from a department store. So when people asked, I told them it was a custom-made Oscar de la Renta. On the big night, I arrived and saw a girl wearing my same exact dress! When she saw me, she told everyone it was a dress from Sears and that it only came in size 5. I was so busted!&amp;quot; --Amy, 19, Atlanta, GA &amp;quot;On prom night, my date and I went to dinner beforehand. At dinner, he told me that I needed to get chicken fingers because they were the cheapest thing on the menu. He then proceeded to order an expensive steak. When the steak finally got to the table, he made me cut his meat for him. To top it off, his mom drove us to the prom!&amp;quot; --Suti, 20, New York, NY &amp;quot;My prom dress was very full and grazed the ground even with my shoes on. When I took my shoes off to dance the &amp;#039;Electric Slide,&amp;#039; my foot caught the inside of my dress. I wiped out all over the dance floor and fell onto this really cute junior guy. I helped him up and apologized, to which he responded, &amp;#039;Stupid freshman.&amp;#039; I was mortified!&amp;quot; --Gabrielle, 16, Nanticoke, PA &amp;quot;I have a very small chest and my dress was obviously too big in that region. There was a lot of intricate beading on the dress, and my mom thought it would be too difficult to take in. Instead, I got a pair of fake boobs and stuck them in my dress with double-sided tape. That night, I was dancing and got very hot and sweaty. For some reason, the fake boobs started to disintegrate and the tape was no longer holding them in place. As I left the prom, I felt something slide down my dress as I walked past all the teachers. Sure enough, one of the boobs fell out of the dress and onto the ground!&amp;quot; --Bailey, 17, Neoga, IL &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m known for not being able to get through a meal without spilling on myself. When my prom date found out I was wearing a white dress, he brought me a bib instead of a corsage!&amp;quot; --Alia, 17, Saint Cloud, MN &amp;quot;A week before prom, I had everything ready -- except for a date. After going through my buddy list, I found a guy who agreed to come. The only problem was that I knew he had a drinking problem. I politely told him that I go to a small school and that it would be obvious if he was drunk. On the big night, he took several trips to the bathroom and came back acting increasingly idiotic each time. Finally, it clicked -- he was drunk! I was mortified: My date was the only one who got kicked out of the prom!&amp;quot; --Kylie, 16, Carmel, IN &amp;quot;I was extremely bored at prom because my date refused to dance with me. I ended up falling asleep on his lap and woke up to the principal asking if I was okay!&amp;quot; --Christy, 19, San Leandro, CA "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
