Something I heard in class while disscussing prom was that it was pretty much a practice for a wedding. Dressing up, the party, the limos, both events pretty much are identical.
When I first arrived to high school, I expected that it would be what a stereotypical high school would be like. People within seperate cliques, sports teams, many classes to choose from, etc. Unfortunatly, when I arrived to my specific high school, it didn't pan out in that exact way. It was more work than anything else. However, one thing that remains stereotypical that I've always seen in those high school movies is prom.
Everyone dressing up, looking forward to the day months beforehand, after parties, people looking to have the craziest night ever, etc. For what prom really is, sone look at it as a reward for getting through high school. Some may see it as a way to relieve stress that was gained during high school. Some may even see it as the end of one time period and the beginning of another. Prom to me is the beginning of the end for high school, where people who wanted to leave high school so badly all of a sudden fear leaving the comfort of high school and taking that long awaited journey to college or anywhere else besdies where they've been for the past 4 years.
To me, its pretty amazing how a more than avaerage dance could mean so much more than dressing nice and dancing the night away. There's meaning to it, for each individual person it calls for a different point of view. The bottom line is that Prom means so much more than it initially looks to be
