Why Do We Need To Remove Prom In High School?

Prom 2K16, the scariest night of my life. Me and my boyfriend Colin started dating december of my freshman year his junior year. We met through mutual friends, I fell for him the moment I saw him. It's crazy to think how far we have come but that a story for another time.

As I grew up, I refuse to let the stereotypes people expect of those growing up in the South Bronx confine me. Since I have always been aware that where I live is usually referred to as dangerous and withholds those growing up here, I don't want to let where I live define me. This motivated me to do as much as possible, in and out of the classroom. Consequently, I decided to be a part of prom committee, be a volunteer, and work as an intern at my school. I began volunteering at the Hope Line Resource Center to assist those in the community. Furthermore, I volunteer in health fairs to spread awareness of the ways people can put their body in a healthier state with Urban Health Plan. I eventually became an intern in the clinic with Urban Health

To begin with, homecoming could be fun for new students and former students. In homecoming week they do something called spirit week. In spirit they allow you to dress up and show your school spirit. They have a homecoming football game which is so fun because you have people coming out to support your school. They also all teachers to show their spirit and dress up. They have students running for homecoming king and queen, which is competitive to see who will take over the crown. A lot of people run, but some lose. It is still fun to run because at least they tried. If they take homecoming away it would be boring to students because there’s not going to be a football game to attend. The football game is mostly where the fun is. Homecoming could never get old so it’s going to be impossible to take that away from ICN high school. Our school is one of the best in the city and everyone love to our football games. Homecoming is where all the fun is at in our school.

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.

Well I'm more awake than this morning, and I'm braining better. Since the prom spread is Megan x2, Emily, and Mine's I just was wondering if you know what Dani has in terms of prom-posal pictures, or information. Next class I would like to gather those resources so that we're not scrambling next Monday. Also since this is Dani's spread should we keep the title and layout, and everything and just plug in pictures or take creative control. I'm fine with any of them but I don't want to overstep/understep my boundries.

Eighth grade prom; why is it even a thing? I personally think that it’s a waste of time and money. I mean, don't get me wrong, sure it's fun and all to “dance the night away with the person you'll break up with in two weeks”, but do we really need an eighth grade prom? And I know that it's a “celebration for the graduating year” but first of all, that's for high school and second that's why we have hail and farewell. Seriously, why are wasting money on this? Even though the ticket is only twenty dollars, it’s the prepping that everyone is wasting money on.

One piece of advice that I would give to an incoming high school freshman would be that you should not worry about what other people think about you. You do not need to impress anyone and you most certainly do not need to try and change yourself for that person. There will be people in your life who try and make you do things that you normally would not do and maybe are not comfortable with. Do not let someone change you. If that person does not like that you do not do something that they do, or act how they act, chances are you probably should not be hanging around with them.

Ghosts, princesses, superheroes, and so many other strange characters are seen walking around during the night of October 31st, the night known as Halloween. Halloween is the night most famously known for haunted houses, candy, black cats, witches and ghosts. For one magical night a year, known as prom, teenagers get to feel and dress like princes and princesses and to attend their first formal event before becoming an adult. For that night, tiaras, limos, corsages, tuxedos and evening gowns are all the rage. Both nights are important nights when growing up, and even though they are so different, they actually have some things in common. Halloween night and prom are nights that have a similar, yet

I have been involved in the Youth Council for about one year. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Being in the Youth council has really taught me a great deal and has given me a new perspective. Before joining the Youth Council I was seldom involved in any community service activities outside of my school. I was fortunate enough to find out about the Youth Council through a family member and quickly signed up to volunteer.

President Emy Roux called the meeting at 7:00pm by ringing the Key Club Bell. She led us to reciting the American, Texan, and Key Club pledge and finished the introduction with a short prayer for the success of our meeting and social.

When I read through “A Prom divided” I find myself not surprised, sadly. This is something that really shows what the United States is coming to. So many people seem to be worried about what other people are like according to their appearances. They need to stop judging people by their looks and realize that the personality in someone and who they are is all that really matters. People everyday are not getting to do certain things because of some reason that should not define what they should be able to do. This seems to be a issue that I don’t think would and hope would never happen at my school or in my community. When the article talks about the prom being divided this made me so sad and paste for these high school students that had to go

My school received a one million dollar grant. In my opinion I have three reasons why I should use that money. The first reason is bigger classrooms, giving money to the needy, and lastly better food choices. These are very good choices in my opinion.

Rich and her boyfriend story they weren't aloud to go to their prom because their

Students put on the prom in hopes of bringing back memories to the residents. Larson said she attended an all girls school so she was never had the opportunity to go to prom. They played songs that the majority of the residents knew so

For many high school students, Prom is a rite of passage and the culmination of four years of hard work wrapped up into a single celebration. Outside of graduation, prom could be the single most important event of a seniors life. Unfortunately, in today's world many parents have to juggle the costs of food, rent, and utility payments leaving little room in the budget for extras. Thus, the rising costs of living along with an unstable economy, many girls may not be able to afford a prom dress. Helping those that cannot afford a prom dress will help parents enable their daughters to participate in all of the opportunities of high school. A prom dress drive will help take the financial burden off of families by re-gifting prom dresses to those
