NOT ASKED TO PROM?

Let's face it - there is a lot of pressure on girls around prom time. Not being asked to the prom can be disappointing, but it doesn't mean you have to sit home and mope. Follow Myjellybean.com's tips for turning that prom frown upside-down.

Take The Initiative

Instead of waiting to be asked, why not ask someone to be your date? Hey, this way you get to be the one choosing your prom partner. (We have tips on how to ask - click here to get them!)

Go With Your Girls

Consider attending the prom with a group of single friends. Get all glammed up, have a great dinner together before-hand and show up at the dance with your spirits high!

Throw An Alterna-Party

Plan an anti-prom party for all of your friends who are not attending. Rent anti-prom movies like "Carrie," dress in your most casual clothes, pig out on junk food and dance to your favorite music.

Chill Out

Take the opportunity to have a quiet evening alone. Take a long bubble bath, eat whatever you feel like and revel in the fact that you're not stuck in a tight dress and uncomfortable shoes, dancing to sappy music with some idiot you don't even love.

Express Yourself

Write down your thoughts in a diary or journal. Expressing your feelings in writing can really help when dealing with upsets or disappointments. Maybe you will use those writings someday to create beautiful poetry, or even to write a Hollywood screenplay like "Never Been Kissed" that nets you fame and fortune!

Keep It Real

Remember that not being asked to your prom is NOT a negative reflection on who you are. Many supermodels and famous actresses never got asked to their proms either. Just ask gorgeous actresses Alyssa Milano and Mena Suvari, among others. Consider it a tribute that you fall into the same category!
