Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It’s fun, I liked going, but after high school it’s pretty meaningless.
You have to remember how many people peaked in highschool, married their highschool girlfriend, never went to college, had kids in their early 20s, etc. Not saying any of those things are bad, but highschool can be pretty definitive for some people.
“The Media” is at fault!
CNN is Big Prom!
“The Media” as in Disney and Warner more than news imho
Should have been obvious considering the number of movies (especially 90s and early 2000s) that revolve around some big activity that must happen before/during/after prom.
