How to Survive Your First School Dance

AAAARRGGGHHH!!! It's the 8th grade dance. You're so nervous. What are you gonna wear? What if he kisses you? What if he asks you and another girl at the same time? All of these things that you are worried about are making you not want to go, and making you miss out on a great time. Need help? Then this is the right post for you!

1. Find a good dress...imediately
All of the girls need something to wear for the dance. Get to Jessica McLintock before the dresses run out and you're stuck with an ugly bumble-bee dress. Please get there quick. Don't get there 2 days before the dance, unless you want to look like a bumble-bee with the yellow and black striped dress. Get there the day that it is announced that there is a dance going on at your school. And if it's just a little event, you don't HAVE to wear a dress. Just one tip: make sure that no one at your school is wearing the same outfit. I was gonna wear this one shirt for my dance, but I had a bad feeling about it and chose another shirt, and when I went to the dance, there was a girl that was wearing the same shirt that I was gonna buy. PLEASE don't wear the same thing as somebody else. It will look very tacky...maybe not when you were little but now in the fashion world, it is NOT acceptable.

2. Don't be afraid if he kisses you
Your dancing, your dancing. All of a sudden he gets that look in his eyes. He leans over and kisses you. It turns out bad. You don't know how to kiss! And will this gossip run around school? You turn away. You regret it. Don't be afraid! It's the moment that you've been waiting for all of your girl life. Don't turn it away when you finally get a chance for prince charming to kiss you. Just don't move your lips. Keep them natural. If you need to, you can pucker up your lips a little bit. Just a little bit.

3. Just dance away!
Have a great time! Don't be nervous! Just think about it as school, but without learning and you get free soda and food. Its a time to have fun with your friends, maybe kiss a boy, take pictures, and spy on that cute boy with no one to dance with. It's fun! Don't be afraid. Roar like a lion :) My father always says that to me when I get scared of something. It's wimpy, but it helps. (I don't actually roar.)

4. Ignore the gossip
You kissed the most popular boy in school at the dance. It goes ALL around school. That girl that has a crush on him starts saying mean things about you behind your back. Just ignore it! If you try to ignore it and/or it doesn't help, then contact a teacher or the guidance counselor. They will help the gossip stop. And also, I know this is hard, but don't gossip back. It will get you AND the girl that started the rumor that he asked you to marry him in trouble. Don't gossip in general. Roar like a lion :)
