Doing a favour for one of my girlfriends and taking her girls to their prom tonight.

Have full chauffeur outfit inc hat.

In reality, don't get the whole prom thing.

When did we become American? and yet another thing to stretch the resources of those who will struggle to afford it.

Well it was an adventure if nothing else.

Still don't see the need.

From what I can see it's bragging parents trying to outdo each other, nothing to do with the children.

Pathetic.

Urgh. Not my favourite subject. My 11 year old is leaving primary school...they're having a prom

Pfft. What's wrong with a bloody disco in the school hall?

We had a formal to mark the end of 6th form. Nobody called it a "prom" though, and there was bo talk of either hiring limos or parents being anywhere near the place.

Obvs, sibce we were 18, although the school did not provide booze, we weren't specifically banned from bringing it and the teachers were drinking, so that was amusing.

I'm pretty sure the Rugby dinner (upper and lower 6th) was held in the back room of a hotel. That was "formal" too, and you were expected to take a date.

my daughter and her friends all decided to get a nice dress - which they did - we all went round to one friend who had a bigger house and we all pitched in with nibbles and wine etc - good social couple of hours before the girls were picked up in a mini bus and went to the prom --- no showiness and ott expense at the girls' requests - my son never even wanted to go to his - so he didnt -

American or not, it means a great deal to a lot of people. Especially those with special needs like my daughter. I do feel sorry for families who can't afford it though. XXX

Not looking forward to our first prom another 4 years to go and sounds like I need to start saving now. I'm all for my Daughter having a great night, I just don't like the lamp post pissing competition it will turn into between the parents.

It was called a leavers do in my day. My dress cost £60 and I got there in an extended limousine (i.e. Coach provided by the school )

Some spent hundreds on their outfit, nails, make up, hair, limo. Yes my family could have afforded to do that but I just didn't see the point!

My dress for my college leavers do cost £12 from TK Maxx.. then the bloody strap broke luckily it was on the way home!

In my day we had a leavers disco, nothing too fancy - jeans and t-shirt and a grope and snogif you were lucky

I actually think it's a nice way to end your school days with a memorable night out. But there are too many 'Proms' these days aren't there? Proms from Primary School!? WTF!?

In my view I can't see an issue with a big 'leaving' bash. But it should be a one time thing.

And I agree with the above - I don't think it should be an ostentatious show of wealth or anything like that. Turning up in Limos and all that bobbins should be banned! Dress up a little, have a good time, but don't get all competitive about how much money you can lavish on it!

Blimey, it all sounds a right old kerfuffle. I remember finishing my last GCSE, walking from the school building and never returning without so much as a see ya to any of the teaching staff.

What! Please don't tell me that's true! If it is it should be ra

i totally agree but see friends pics on fuck book of their little kids complete with mortar board hat and certificate - we used to get a packet of sweets off the teacher at the end of school year - and happy to be going off to 'big school'

It's just a money making enterprise by the schools to fleece parents ...

round here it was partly my fault i was on the very first prom committee (well summer ball) petitioning for one in 1988, so the answer was 1988..sorry... after that year all schools in the area, had one then it must have caught on

Educationally wise we're dumbing down so much in this country.
