Prom Season is upon us once again. Let's hear some Prom stories. Did you actually go and have fun?
My recollection is that prom brings stress and anxiety as one of the first young adult milestones. The expectations are sky high, the preparations are wedding-like, and the reality is that a bunch of kids go to the biggest high school event of the year for about 30 minutes between an expensive dinner and an underwhelming after party. And that's coming from someone who enjoyed his 80s-era prom.
