My friends didn't understand because they viewed it as "just prom", but thankfully they respected my desicision. I just couldn't bring myself to wear an immodest dress, especially in front of so many young men, and take part in the dancing. I can't dance well at all, but even if I could, why would I want to? I'm not condeming dancing in and of itself, because as you said, there are God-glorifying forms of dancing, but practicaly clinging to multiple guys who have NO rights to my body was not something I wanted to take part in. Did I feel a little left out when I saw the pictures of them on Facebook all dressed up? Yes. When I heard them talking about it? Yes. Do I regret my decision? Not at all. God brought conviction into my heart concerning prom, and with it came a resolve greater than I've ever known to stand firm when I was forced to stand alone for the Truth. Praise the Lord for His strength! I'm just so filled with joy to know that I am not alone.
