Prom Paid

I’m sure many have shared stories of their high school experiences and can relate when I say those four years have taught me many lessons. During this time, I’d come face to face with the fraudulent friendships, temporary romances, and other high school dramas that my parents once warned me about—those of which I simply brushed off as myths. It wasn’t the 90’s anymore— times have changed and people are different—or at least, that’s what I thought.

Fitting in is unnecessary. Embrace who you are. You will go through rough times in high school, but always stay strong, and never deny yourself said Neon Hitch. In ‘’Best in Class” by Margaret Talbot, relays a similar message that choosing only one valedictorian adds power to an already powerful social hierarchy high schools already create. Talbot releases this message to open the eyes of schools who decide to only pick one valedictorian and how people are taking school boards to court just to get the number one spot. She emphasizes her message by using informative diction and pathos from her interviews.

High School culture has changed since the “old days.” Students from all grades are not only striving for academic success, but also participate in many extracurricular activities as outside forces continue to impact social life. With this comes the typical struggles of students figuring out who they are, and what kind of person they want to become as college becomes a daunting factor.

There’s no meaning for a teenager to acquire a luxurious party. Parents are basically implementing in their children’s mind of requiring them to be mentally capable of behaving as an adult. The damage can be greater than good, you never know if the child is not ready for the transition. In addition, I believe marketers invented this coming of age tradition, for companies can make profits with their lavish products. If we continue this trend, parents are stating that money is everything to them and not their souls nor feelings. We cannot brainwash young people with false ideals and expectations of society. Let puberty be natural and unbiased for the sake of children’s

Prom Perfect- not only do students go to prom, but teachers have to chaperone too! That means that the target renters are not only teenagers, but adults as well.

The article cites several research studies and their findings as evidence to back up her argument. According to a paper written by Laura Hamilton, the more money parents contribute to their children’s education, the worse they performed grade-wise. The assumption made by parents is that if their kids are not burdened by loans or jobs, they will have more time to study. Not surprisingly, those students spend their extended free time participating in more leisure activities. In other words, they spend more time partying. Any college student can attest to this fact, mostly because they spend

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

“I’m going to prom why? You can’t go,” said Manyara. Nysasha frowned and was sad. “You don’t even have a dress to wear anyway. Plus it starts in a hour and you have no ride,” said Manyara and stuck her tongue out at her sister. Manyara went back to her room and started getting dressed. Little did she know she could go, but she just needed money, a dress, and a ride.

It's that time of year, when students enjoy a rite of passage: their school prom.

Money is sadly one of the things that makes the world go round. With it books are bought and an education is paid for. This scholarship award would help pay for a tuition that I have been working hard for. I have had a job for just over a year and have been working thirty hour weeks in order to save up for college. In my family I am expected to pay for my tuition because it is my education. I have been striving to save up because education is one of my top priorities. This award will allow me to spend some of my earnings elsewhere. My financial burden will be lifted slightly and I will be able to relax and enjoy the rest of my senior year.

That August day I set out into Collegetown to assert my independence from my parents by experiencing for the first time the so-called magic and wonder of fraternity parties without my parents’ consent. The ostentatiousness, elation, and novelty that define college parties in movies as a place where college students blow off steam allured me; college parties are depicted in pop culture as the quintessential Friday night.

A person might be afraid of the “mean girl” group, or about what the “dumb jocks” say. Hollywood makes it seem different than what the reality actually is. Maybe that’s why high schoolers may be a little disappointed when they don’t see chandeliers, fog machines, or sparkling lights at their prom.

“Affluent individuals are more likely to have the social bridges and networks that collectively benefit children by giving them access to a wider array of resources. Unfortunately, social and economic changes of the past decade resulted in exodus of many affluent individuals and families from the urban centers. (Atkins, Hart, pg.159).” Since, the neighborhoods are full of crime most professional and qualified advocates aren’t willing to risk their safety. Therefore, if there are any extra festivities going on they aren’t local or affordable for a teen mom. Economic consequences of being a teen

he tunes of a familiar pop song vibrate the floor as a group of clumsy, sprawling middle schoolers jump to the rapid beat. As the pop hit fades out, a smooth rhythm takes control of the crowd. Girls begin adjusting their hair, and the adolescent men cluster themselves into sweaty, scattered huddles for the agenda of debating over who will ask whom to dance. Then, a brave fellow or two will ask the girl of their choice to spare a dance with them. One of the most romantic moments of their life, especially with the chaperones standing a maximum of five feet away, is taking place. Soon enough, junior high dances and events will fade from memory as one enjoys only a slight improvement of music and food at high school dances. In fact, a significant number of aspects will ameliorate as junior high students enter the polar world of high school. Everything from tests to friends, has the potential to send one spiraling as they attempt to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings freshman year. Take some advice from me, I was once a freshman and somehow lived to tell the tale. Anterior to when a school becomes “in session” one should prioritize attending freshman orientation. Orientation has the capabilities to provide basic information that is relevant for the whole year, as well as throughout an entire high school career. Ranges of subjects such as dress codes, various school policies, and standards the school may possess is the basic information the school will cover. For example, my school
