hw 57

I feel like prom is something that is eagerly anticipated for many seniors. There is a lot of planning that goes into making the night magical or one to remember. It’s seen as an event where anything can happen. People put a lot of time and effort into making sure that prom is going to be one of the highlights of senior year. For those attending prom the key moments are important and really focused on and planned even up until the actual day. Everyone follows the script in order to make sure that there is a good ending to the night they’ve waited for, planned and spent so much money on.
I personally feel proms are a little over hyped. I don’t plan to “go all out” for prom, but that doesn’t stop people from paying for the prom experience. Lots of money is spent in making the night memorable, from the limos to the dresses and tuxedos, even the after parties. I question why if it’s only for one night?

Why are people who don’t go to prom stigmatized?
Why is prom such a big deal for people?
Why are the guys usually the active agents when it comes to prom and not the girls?
