It’s definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it’s prom time.

What’s your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

    Back in highschool there was junior prom and senior prom. They made us pay like $300 a head to attend. I used to get bullied a lot for being goth and latina. You could not pay me enough to listen to shitty music around people I disliked, so I didn’t attend.

      We only ever had senior prom here. I’m wondering if it’s a public school thing to overcharge because all the proms I’ve been to were non-public school ones (including my own, never went to public school) and it was priced no differently than a restaurant would be, the biggest of our hurdles were getting the clothes (and in my case not being heckled due to choosing my brother as my prom go-to).
