I just don’t get it… Why is that important, especially for kids now, that feel like they need to do a YouTube video asking for a date or doing some meme stuff. Some teens even hire the hottest celebrity or ask them to appear in their prom? This is so bizarre for me, all that just for a frivolous night.

In my country prom was a thing but nowhere near as theatrical, I didn’t went to either my prom trip or the party. Also skipped half of my middle school trips.

    Have you seen all those high school movies? The US is obsessed with high school. I guess prom is just part of that.

      At least you don’t expect them to undergo two training arcs, beat a kaiju in single combat and h*‎ld h*nds with their crush to graduate.
