HS girl was sent to a "fake prom"

Re: HS girl was sent to a "fake prom"

I don't know how people can laugh at that.

Not only did these two girls miss out on a big high school experience, they were basically slapped in the face by the administration and parents.

SMH, these are the people who are supposed to be setting an example for the kids. Not a good example to set.

I don't understand the appeal of prom anyways, so I don't really know what all the fuss is about. How is prom fun? The stuff after? Sure. But how is awkwardly dancing in a room full of judgemental classmates fun?

That's how I always felt about prom's and I never went to one. I was invited to ones in high school and even had a date, but declined and didn't go. Just not my thing I guess.

I don't really find this a laughing matter either. Even if you say "what's the big deal, it's just prom", you are missing the point. Sure high school is just a minute part of our life, but being mistreated like that is something that will be hard to forget. At my highschool prom we had girls bringing guys in their mid to late 20's, so you're telling me that them doing that is more "acceptable" than two girls going together as dates? What were they going to do, scissor each other on the dance floor? C'mon now.

I see you're still upset that nobody wanted to go with you.

It wasn't that. I just don't understand the appeal of it. I didn't go because it sounded boring and awkward as hell.

I was that kid that hated pretty much everyone in his class, though. So that might have had something to do with it. I thought, and still think, that they were all monumental douchebags.

I can't believe crap like that is still going on. Who ****ing cares about what the color of someones skin is?

I completely agree, but it is also wrong to discriminate someone because of their sexual orientation too.

Re: HS girl was sent to a "fake prom"

This is kind of sickning. I mean people don't chose to be gay and for a school to do that is just wrong. It is so wrong for them to make a fake prom and not tell her about the other one

SMH...just goes to show we (as a society) have not "progressed" as far as we think.

Re: HS girl was sent to a "fake prom"

You can't be serious.

My point is, why should either situation be treated any differently.

But to avoid getting in any further trouble I'll shut up.
Sorry if that came off as an attack.

I agree, I mean we still have a KKK, and some people still consider themselves confederates and are mad the North won and abolished slavery

Issues over the confederate flag come up every few months in SC. It's sickening.

So you and me are pretty much alike, because I was the exact same way in high school. I burned so many bridges my junior and senior years because I felt the same about my classmates.

And like you and Z, I didn't go to my prom, despite potential dates each year. It's pretty pointless to me. Pay for her dinner, chauffeur her around, watch her disappear once you get into the doors and spend the evening with douchebags and cakefaced sluts and all for what? To wake up the next morning with herpes. Yeah, no thanks.

But if I was this girl, I'd work the hell out of this and try to pimp as much money out of this as possible. Although this was wrong, like someone else said, I wouldn't let it get to me. High School/prom is just a fraction of your life, and just another opportunity for a bunch of hyper-sexual kids to spread their VD.

Re: HS girl was sent to a "fake prom"

race and sexual orienation are two different things. you are born with your skin but, most/many people think that you "choose" to be gay. The last group to be discriminated will be fat people because you "choose" to be fat.

As a Christian myself I don't agree with homosexuality but, I don't hate anyone who is.(my best friend in college was gay) Not trying to offend anyone here just stating my case that I don't agree with running away and having your own gayfree prom.
