I just don’t get it… Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel
like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff.
Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom?
This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous night. In my country
prom was a thing but nowhere near as theatrical, I didn’t went to either my prom
trip or the party. Also skipped half of my middle school trips.
A really good explanation that I felt deserved to be highlighted.
I mean, important? Not especially, no. But will never see again? I’d argue that’s true. The whole idea with prom is that it’s meant to be like the last big school event before graduation. Yeah, at some point in their adult lives they’ll get over dressed to dance badly, but this is the last time to do it and teenagers, with other teenagers.
Will they grow up wrong if they miss it, or if it isn’t the biggest, most likely expensive prom ever? No, of course not.
But what does it actually hurt?
Feels like the tradition isn’t just prom but also to make prom a big deal. And frankly, why not? Let the kids dress up and have fun. They will grow up, but it doesn’t have to be tonight.
Also curious where you have a prom coming up in late June?
