Is Prom Is Being Afraid?

When it comes to prom girls have to be sure they get a dress and make sure no one gets the same one as them, there’s an after party to figure out, there has to be groups made for pictures and there needs to be a decision on tables and all of this, of course, is on top of the fact that everyone wants to go with a date and if you don’t have one then you probably won’t go. As a girl, I get drama but the prom drama is not worth it. It is not worth getting upset about. Prom is going to happen regardless if you and your friends go or not, if you fuss about it or not and if you deem prom worth it or not. Although, I do believe the fussing and fighting that prom brings is not worth it, prom overall is still worth it to

We burst out of the door, unveiling ourselves to the crowd outside. We felt like rock stars. Everyone had to get a few more pictures with other friends as they arrived and then we filed inside. The place was decorated from top to bottom, glittered stars hung from the ceiling, white Christmas lights twinkled all around, and glimmering gowns in every color made the entire venue sparkle. As a class, months earlier, we had chosen the theme, “I’ve had the time of my life”. The girls had pulled it from our favorite movie, “Dirty Dancing”, and I think the boys just went with it. We sat down for dinner where we were served our choice of meat, with rice or potatoes and a medley of veggies. Nobody ate much though, either because of nerves, vanity, or just plain desire to get to showing off our best moves, we wanted to boogie! After about an hour the tables were cleared off of the dance floor and it was time to the highly anticipated partying. The DJ played the hottest jams of 1999 and we danced the night away. Most of the girls were in their bare feet, unable to take the pain of high heels any longer as we busted our best moves.

Prom is supposed to be a very exciting night. I think finding a date for prom is even more exciting. You see my school has this thing called grand march and you have to have a prom date/ friend to even participate in the walk. So if you are a loner you can’t go. Well my experience finding a prom date so I wouldn’t be a loner was quite the adventure.

All the volunteers and staff members were just being themselves. That is exactly what you must do at something like this, just let yourself go. Absolutely no one there will judge you for your poor dance moves unlike any typical prom. Just have fun! Throughout the prom, I began to get to know some of the kids and had absolutely the best time. It was through a physical form of communication, dancing, that we could best understand these kids. Verbal communication isn’t always the solution and that is what the staff taught us. One instance that made me proud to be volunteering with Young Life was when one of the high schoolers got upset that his girlfriend danced with someone else. I began to see signs of him being upset and watched as he talked on the phone and sprinted out of the room. I was the only person who saw so I had to run after him. When I ran outside I luckily saw multiple staff members and I alerted them that I needed help. They were so well equipped to handle situations like that and kept something bad from happening. I had a similar situation happen through another volunteer program, where an upset kid ran out on me and escaped from the building where no one was around. I could not get him under control and frantically looked for help as he continued to try and run away. I had to bear hug him to keep from running into the street, something that was very scary for me given he was a full-grown man. It was

Whether it was a wonderful experience or a terrible one, if you went to your high school senior prom, I am sure that it was a night to remember. For so many teenagers the prom is the highlight of high school. It is the one thing so many students look forward to. Many see it as a rite of passage into adulthood. For Amy L. Best, the author of "Prom Night: Youth, Schools, and Popular Culture", the prom is a perfect opportunity to explore teen identity and individuality. It is also a place to look at how this event speaks so much about today's kids.

Even though in the moment I disagreed with this idea I’m glad I did go. Even though the dance itself wasn’t outstanding dressing up with friends and having fun for one night is priceless. Ignoring the stress of all picking a restaurant, making reservations, picking a group, and a dress it’s all worth it in the end. Some of my best memories of high school was going home and having a bonfire and laughing after the dances.

A few days ago, I was scrolling through my Twitter timeline and I noticed some exceedingly infuriating comments on a picture that was posted by a white female. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the picture to see what everybody was so upset about. The picture turned out to be of a prom proposal of two white females asking an African American female attend prom with them. The poster was written on a plain, brown piece of creased cardboard. The poster said, “You may be picking cotton, by we’re picking you to go to prom with us.” Since this picture was leaked on multiple social media platforms, an abundance of people has seen it in addition to many newspapers reporting about it. The majority of people who viewed this picture more than likely immediately

The dance has already been planned by the parents. My Grandma is also planning on coming from Virginia to see me advance from the 8th grade. Traveling from far distances, many students look forward with seeing his or her

I don’t know if it was being with my friends all day or if it was the thrill of performing in front of an audience three times in one day. I just simply had a fun time getting ready, warming up with my class, and just relaxing in between performances. I didn’t feel rushed as I normally do when about to go on stage because I knew I had people around me who could help me out. We also shared a dressing room with students from De La Salle who I had some conversations with. We shared our thoughts about Dances for Youth by Youth and how are programs are different. I found out that they don’t have nearly as many people as we do in our program, so I found that interesting and amusing.

Again looks over here to the girl’s perspective. “Becky this is awesome! I’m having so much fun, thanks for coming with me and being my bestie, this was worth all of the stress and doesn’t jimmy look fine af” “ Yeah, I’m going to miss you next year Jessica, Im so glad I got to spend my last rom with you, Jimmey, and nose picking David”. The girls make this day about one last hooray with their friends before we graduate and go on our separate paths. Now girls get sentimental so look over here to the boys. “Man, this tie is the most annoying ever”. “I know I can’t wait to take this off and these shoes hurt”. “I cannot wait for post prom and eat!”. “I need pancakes ASAP I’m literally starving”. We come to a complete stop and now we’re at the end of the roller coaster. Some of us feel a relief while others are going to get right back in line for the ride

“It is almost time”, my big sister said as we count down the days for prom. Prom was the only event I was looking forward to during my senior year. The thought of dressing and dancing with friends excited me. While the days pass by I scratched off each day and I was thrilled to see how close prom was coming. I began preparing myself by getting all my school work done and eating healthy for the highlight of my senior year.

Homecoming is basically an American term used extensively for the welcoming back of alumni of a school or college or any other educational institution. It is a celebration day format in which different kinds of events, sports and cultural programs are included. There is another similar format of game in this kind of occasions named prom. However, the prom and homecoming differ from each other according to their time of occurrence (Petrović, Milovanović & Desbordes, 2015).

Prom should only be for seniors because it is their last big event before graduation and they most likely do not want underclassmen there. Prom is supposed to be one of the best nights of your life but if the whole school was there it would just be like any other school dance with the “annoying freshmen” and the “wannabe sophomores”.

On my first night at USC, I went with my girlfriend to her sororities Semi- Formal. This is a dance somewhat alike to a homecoming that one would have attended in High School. Already, this was a different experience than one
