How is the prom experience for everyone? (lemm.ee)

It's definitely hard to miss all the people where I live pulling out of driveways in dresses and people taking pictures across all the public areas, it really lets you know it's prom time.

What's your experience with prom (or multiple proms if you went to others too)? How did everyone look? How was it celebrated? Was it good?

The "work" part of it is the stressing over clothing, your date, etc. beforehand. The poor kid trying to figure out how not to look poor at the prom. The fringe kid who's pretty much guaranteed to be going dateless if at all and laughed at for it. I suspect if you've never been in an outside group (and I always have been because I've always been racially an outsider and literally an outsider because of frequent moving) you won't have any idea what I'm talking about.

I'm just very thankful that in all my moving, I never moved anywhere where "prom" was a thing.
