To the students: an excuse for horny young teenagers to get together for a night of drinking, fornication and promiscuity, how romantic!
To business: a corporate-controlled/ promoted high school "institution" that makes
the dress shops, hairdressers, flowershops,
limo companies, suit
rental places, etc more wealthy.
To the students who don't get to go: a lifelong regret, an occasion that fat chicks can not get a date for.Makes more people unhappy than any one other thing in highschool...
I borrowed Dad's car, then spent $400 on renting a suit,
buying flowers, tickets to the prom, some liquor and a
locket on a chain for her. Oh, and condoms. She bought a dress, got her hair and 20 nails done, bought shoes,tear-off underwear,a purse, and got
a horrendous period an hour before midnight.
So she gave me a blowjob just like any other date, and she's still a virgin.
