I'll be awaiting the thoughtful, sensitive comments

Last person to attend a prom was Denis. Ask him.

We have a big prom every year here. Then there is an after prom event where they go ride go karts, play laser tag, arcade, etc.

The nerds?

Don’t be a nerd. Go to prom. Tie an onion to your belt and do the damn thing.

My last experience with prom was 20ish years ago but I can’t imagine the world has changed that much.

well sure your people are there, but everyone goes. If you dont go to that you are not allowed to get a ticket to prom.

I have two nieces who are graduating from high school this year, and neither went to prom. For those of you with children, is prom still a thing, or does no one care?

That’s ridiculous. I suppose that’s to prevent kids going to various house parties after? Pretty lame and controlling. We had an event like that but it was after graduation and it was optional (as it should be :lol:

).

What if a student has their prom ticket, goes to prom, then skips the go-kart/arcade event? Can they show up for 5 minutes, then leave?

Couldn’t believe what it costs to rent a tux these days ($259 for my son’s prom tux).

Opinions vary. I think it is great.

A student cannot skip out because we all go together in buses. So they have no way of leaving.

I didn't go to prom and neither did my 2 sons. To my knowledge none of us feels like we missed a thing. My wife went and thus wishes our sons did too.

Judging by all my fiends' Facebook posts, most kids are still going, despite it costing an insane amount of money. My HS was a bit on the rich side, but it's $170 per person this year for prom (at the fucking Field Museum). They even had a payment plan. I didn't go my Senior year because I was a brooding doofus, but I went the 2 years after I graduated.

It is massive around here. Treated like weddings by a lot of people. I am just thankful they have it before we get into the state series so we don't have to worry about it.

Lake Geneva has since outgrown it, but we used to have our prom at the Riviera Ballroom over the lake. Picturesque for sure, but we had to do the "Grand March" down the ballroom steps where they announced the girls and their escorts while the whole town came to watch. A week later, I walk down the driveway to get the mail and my neighbor, whose children were around 3 and 5 at the time, tells me that I looked good at prom and that I really outkicked my coverage with my date, who goes to their church. She was absolutely right, but she didn't have to tell me.

No pics yet from a poster that put teenagers pics in a prom thread before. Young Crest went three years ago, but it wasn't a crazy expensive thing. They did a late night boat ride on the lake thing afterward.
