Hw 57

When entering 9Th grade it is brought to your attention that as a senior you will attend this big party called prom. As 10Th and 11Th grade goes by its not really talked about, as senior year starts prom is the topic that you never stop hearing about. Girls cry if they don't have a date, boys could are less they just want to remember after prom. There is a saying it doesn't matter who you show up with, it matters who you leave with. Now a days that means who ever you leave prom with or end up with will be the person you end up having sex with or hooking up with. This year more kids are looking forward to the after party then the actual prom it's self.

I think prom holds many social norms that should be changed. I believe females should be able to go alone without being looked at differently. Parents shouldn't be awkward towards their daughter or son's date, and last but not least I believe after prom shouldn't be looked forward to just for sex and alcohol. After prom should be about savoring the last good times with your friends, not about who gets the drunkest first.

Questions:
Why must guys ask the girls?
Where was the first prom held?
What are the differences between suburban and rural proms?
