I am playing major catch up here, but I am on a roll, so I had better keep it going.
Senior prom was an interesting experience from the perspective of the mom of a boy. I definitely encouraged Helmut to go to his senior prom. He didn't have a lot of interest, but I just felt like it was an experience he would regret not having. So he was the dutiful son, took his mother's advice and asked someone to prom. I think he ended up having a good time, but it is definitely different for boys than girls (I can only really speak for the 3 boys that live in my house, but they are definitely sympatico on this subject). They do not enjoy the formal dance/date concept. They do not look forward to dressing up in fancy and uncomfortable clothes. They loathe the picture taking. They hate the added pressure it seems to bring with it. But he sure did look great!
