That really is depressing.
That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they'll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.
I hope whatever they were doing didn't take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3
Prom is really not all that special, it's a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college
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.
Well, some people peak in high-school so it depends.
Kid who's already maintaining production software definitely won't peak in high school.
I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about people who put so much importance in prom.
I will peak in the beatific vision
I skipped mine because they would have bullied the fuck out of me.
My high school didn't have one on account of being a small alternative school. But, given the option, music festival would have been much more memorable.
Might this have something to do with alcohol and other drugs abuse in college? /j
