HW#57 - Initial Thoughts on Prom

Growing up i think that prom is one of things that a little girl couldn't wait for besides her wedding. When i think of prom i think of the gliss and glam. The fact you get to dress up for that one special event and feel like a princess. There is always a method when it comes to prom the girls are suppose to go all out from head to toe just to feel nice for that one occasion. It starts from the guy asking you and then all the planning comes along with it. It's not a one, two, three step process, it's the kind of thing that takes time. You can rush perfection especially in a girl's point of view. Prom is the right of passage to adult hood. It's a event like that this that allows you to be free and kind of do whatever you want.

When you think of Prom, you think of partying and having the time of your life. Lots of people say that if you miss out on prom that you will regret in later on in your life. I don't think so personally. I feel like sometimes prom is overrated sometimes because you don't need to follow the social norm. Why is that you should bring a date to your prom rather than alone? Prom i think is kind of an excuse also to drink and act reckless because its "that night" to do what you please. Young teens are suppose to lose their virginity and do the unthinkable. Even though prom is pretty much the same i think depending on where you love it is slightly different. Overall i think that prom is just want you make it, if you want to go you should. If not, do whatever fits you. Some people make a seem like it's a mandatory thing when it's not.

Questions:
Where did the Prom ritual come from?
Why do we treat Prom as a mini wedding?
What would it be like if Proms never existed?
Do other countries have Prom?
