I'm from Belgium, Europe (as you can see). We don't have something like a prom.
From what I've read and heard, a/the prom is a very major happening in the schoollife/childhood(?)/adolescence.
Can you try and explain the importance of it? Is everyone going? How bad is it when you don't have a date to go with?
Enlighten me!

The prom itself is just a formal dance. It comes near the end of the last year of high school, which gives it the importance it has. It's generally viewed as a "coming of age" event; you get really dressed up, go to your first (probably) really formal dance, and see people you won't see again for a while looking nicer then they normally do.
I didn't go to mine, because I wasn't really worried about all that. Most people do go though.
