Prom let every high school student live out their childhood dreams before they become adults. They get to dress up fancy like their parents, spend lot of money, drink and eat with out restraint and have the freedom to act alone. After this moment, their lives stop being planned out for them. They make their own decisions, weather to go to college, work, do nothing or travel. This life changing experience is great and may effect the future decisions of each person.
Before most kids enter high school the dream of going to prom is alive in their minds. It’s looked at as a stepping-stone to adult hood and freedom. Movies, books and fair tales keep the tradition of prom alive. This tradition has been keep vibrant and alive by the industry behind it making money off prom. This industry is just like the funeral industry and the food industry. This industry is keep alive with a constant reminder that prom is a right of passage in to the real word.
With out the hype around prom and the tradition. It is a gather of almost all the people that you spent high school with coming together to celebrate the end of a long journey. A lot of people will never see each other again. It could be a solemn occasion but instead we party it out and celebrant some of the best year of our lives coming to an end. It’s ironic.
