Freshmen Boy going to Senior Prom with Senior Girl

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>My freshmen friend was recently asked by a senior girl to go to the senior prom with him as a friend. He said yes most likely he can go, but apparently his mother discouraged him from going due to expense and various danger present at a typical high school prom. </p>

<p>He: White. REALLY tall. Very smart. Good looking. Pretty popular.
She: Asian. Short. Smart. Average looking. Not very popular. </p>

<p>Things to consider
1. Age + Grade difference. Height difference. Ethnicity difference. Most likely interest difference.
2. Freshman going to senior prom?!
3. Guaranteed alcohol consumption. Slight chance of drugs+sex.
4. Freshman going to senior prom?!
5. The girl was not asked by anyone else. Slight pity factor might be involved.
6. The two are acquaintances from math class and tennis. Friendly but not really friends.</p>

<p>As of now only about three people know about this. He asked my opinion and I was against it. From your perspective, do you think he should go with ramifications bore in mind? What is there to gain and what is there to lose?</p>

<p>I think it would be really awkward, for both of them, but especially the guy. If I were a freshman, I wouldn't want to go.</p>

<p>Frosh/Sophs aren't allowed at our prom, no exceptions. Unless they're serving food, etc., and then it's only stud co kids.</p>

I hope you are kidding, because that is one of the most ignorant statements on this forum yet.</p>

<p>Actually, nymets, I'm pretty sure he does want some from the avg asian girl...</p>

5

<p>Hey, Spectrum's cool...</p>

6

<p>If I were conceited enough to exclusively trust my own judgment, I wouldn't have come here, nymets. I look for opinions on this matter and not idiotic questioning of my ulterior motives in asking a simple question.</p>

<p>Thanks, lablondie.</p>

<p>In your mind it looks bad, but maybe in reality it doesn't.</p>

8

<p>The question is, why or why not, dvl.</p>

<p>If I were the guy I wouldn't go...way too awkward. I am surprised a freshmen can go to prom too.</p>

<p>Oh well, my post was directed towards nymets statement...I personally think that it might be weird...that certainly would never happen at my school. Do other seniors know who this kid is? Is he well liked? If so, then I don't see any real problem. I mean if he stays away from drugs and whatnot everything should be fine. The two are going only as friends so there ain't nothin wrong with that.</p>

<h1>3 sticks out the most</h1>

<h1>3 about the sex/drugs(the irony)...just considering the environment...I suppose I might worry a little...esp about the alcohol which will be there.</h1>

12

<p>Yeah, I doubt it'll matter much, but I just think it'd be so freakishly awkward. But I guess, he can figure out what prom's about etc. w/o making a fool of himself in front of all of his friends.</p>

<p>Are you going?</p>

13

<p>I don't really care about him going, honestly. Yes, #3 is a concern, but he doesn't have to get involved.</p>

<p>Also, if the kid can breakdance well...he'll be fine...</p>

14

<p>breakdancing...can't forget about that...</p>

<p>If he can't breakdance he should at least be able to dance decently...or else trouble will be on the horizon.</p>

15

<p>I AM going, to say he is not a dancer.</p>

16

<p>Uh oh..........</p>

17

<p>Spectrum, can you dance?</p>

18

<p>are you hitting on me? i didn't purchase manufacturing warranty.</p>

<p>back on topic:
If you were the guy, what would you do?</p>

19

<p>I don't know what I would do if were a guy.</p>

<p>If I were me, I would not go.</p>

20

<p>If I am hitting on you...no. I can't exactly do that...my hand can't slap you across the internet. </p>

<p>Anyhow, as for the guy...I think it is really wierd. I am just thinking the average freshmen would seem out of place at prom. As a freshmen I didn't know too many seniors, so it would have been awkward for me.</p>
