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.
Eh prom was the last time I saw a bunch of people I was fond of. Granted I graduated before Facebook was a thing but I bet everyone these days says “we’ll stay in touch” but never does.
Prom shouldn’t be important but I hope people have fun memories
It definitely was the last chance I saw a lot of folks.
Yeah, I know, that means I wasn’t intentional enough yadda yadda yadda, but high school really was the last time a lot of folks are in an environment where social interactions are so passively encouraged. After high school, you’re no longer pressured to keep in touch with folks that you’ve known for 4, 6, or even 12 years, and a lot of people do naturally fall out of touch.
prom isn’t important at all, just another meaningless tradition that gets trumped up. People frame it like it’s about the kids but it’s not.
“it’s their last chance to see each other!”
give me a break, especially in 20 fuckin 24
