I'm not allowed to date until i'm 18 years old. help?
i wasn't allowed to date until i was 18 either. personally, i think it's a stupid concept because all it did was encourage more sneakiness and my parents never knew where i really was. it did suck, but it wasn't that bad and it won't make you socially awkward in college. college is great because it's not like high school, you'll know exactly when you're exams are and there aren't daily assignments so it's easy to balance school and social activities. i found my first year of college to be the easiest and i had such a great time. i balanced dating, friends, school, and a 30 hour a week job with no problems and i got a 4.0. so don't worry!
Should grounded son be allowed to go to prom?
We had to ground my son from prom because of his grades.and he also stole my credit card and charged on it and that is when we grounded him. We told him that if he passed his classes he could go to prom. He didn't pass. Now the girl he was going to go with her mother is calling me telling me that I should let him go and now her daughter isn't going because of him. I told him three weeks ago to tell her that he might not be able to go if he wasn't passing all his classes and he did tell her. If they knew that long ago shouldn't they have made other plans? Does she have the right to make me feel guilty?
Not allowed to go to prom :'(?
I'm a senior in high school who wants to make the best of her last few months. I never got to go to any of the school dances, but I always told myself that I would go to prom. In the beginning of the year, my mom actually told me that I can go to prom. But the other day, apparently she found out that drinking and sex goes on at prom. She obviously freaked out, I tried to tell her these things only happen at the after party, but she wouldn't really believe me. I wouldn't even want to go to the after party anyway, because I know a lot of messed up things go on over there, plus I wouldn't wanna party all night and feel like crap the next day. All I want to do is attend prom and say goodbye to all my friends. I told her that the chaperones and assistant principals would be watching prom. And they're obviously not going to allow alcohol since we're all under 18. I told my mom that. Then she told me that there's going to be vulgar dancing and some kids might try to smuggle in some drugs and alcohol anyway. She's even scared if someone might give me a "date-rape" drug, then rape me after prom... She believes that prom is an "ungodly" dance where lots of whores and bad kids are going to attend. And she's scared if I'm going to be influenced by these bad kids and the vulgar dancing. Keep in mind that we're a strong, Christian family that's pretty conservative, to the point where my mom thinks even prom can be sinful. I'm not even going to prom with a date, just a bunch of my trustworthy girlfriends. I'm just going to stick with them the whole time. And honestly, all kinds of people go to prom, not just a bunch of rebels. Prom's on April 9th and tickets are going on sale this week. I really want to go, I've been looking forward to this the whole year. What should I do? Please help! You're awesome if you do. 10 points for best answer!
Should I go to prom even though I am in 10th grade (I am allowed according to school) HELP? 10 pts BeSt AnSwEr!!!!!!!!!?
Ok, so basically I go to an online school.. or better said co op school. 9th-12th graders are allowed to go to the prom. Except, 9th and 10th cannot be elected princess/prince or queen/king. So.. basically its not MY prom.. the reason I think they allow all highschoolers to go is because my school has very few students, and if they said only 2 grade levels were allowed to go.. it might end up being a very small prom lol.. my school is weird, and most of the kids are weird too. I guess u could say I am weird too though, I don't really have friends.. but I have acquaintances lol.. I talked to a couple of people and they said they might go (both girls).. but I am not like super close with them or anything.. I don't know if it would be fun.. (I don't have a date or anything either).. I have a dress... my mom bought it for me a long time ago and it didn't fit be4 but it does now lol.. it is mid thigh length.. ruffly, lacey, and it is a whitish.. slightly off whitish.. lol I think it is pretty! but.. idk.. lol.. I am also going to my cousin Graces that day.. and my Aunt offered to drop me off and pick me up.. them theme is enchanted.. should I go? Or do you think that I should leave it for my 11th and 12th years.. and just maybe go with a date.. or friends that I am more close with next year..? What would you do..?
My friend missed too many school days to be allowed in prom and the administrator won't let her go. Is there any way we can change that?
It’s disappointing, but if the policy was in place prior to her absences and is applied to all students, then that’s the way it is.However, she could write to the admin her strategy for staying in school and ask to be a part of the work crew doing prom setup. That’s an important “community service”. She’d gain experience and have a meaningful behind the scenes role. Plus admins love “community service” vibes.From the admin viewpoint, she didn’t care enough about herself or her academic record or the school to earn the party of prom. From her standpoint, she still wants to belong.Writing the admin is a great first step in managing the mess she’s made.Most admins want students to feel they belong.They also want students to show up for school.It’s usually in the student’s best interest to do so.It’s definitely in the school’s financial interest that students show.That’s how school’s get paid.Best to you and her!
Should Christian's allow their teens to go to prom? Why? or Why not?
I am a Christian and was raised to be. I married into a Christian family very devoted to God are both sides of our families. I was raised going to a Non denominational church by my Grandmother who was Assembly of God born and raised in the South. The family I married into practice Church of Christ and have for generations and are incredibly devoted. This has made for some interesting incidents over the years like when during our 1st Christmas I gave my Mother-in-Law a nativity scene as a gift because she didn't have one. When I had our oldest son I mentioned having him dedicated to God and everyone stared at me like I had grown a second head LOL! So over the years we have had these things come up and we always find a solution or a compromise and keep it moving. Until now. We have absolutely found ourselves in a standoff and it is driving me crazy. I went to prom had a date, took couples picture, then a group picture, danced a few dances nothing involving seductive moves. Changed our cloths went out to eat, went bowling, went home on time. Some kids did go to parties, and do who knows what, but I never heard of or saw what happen. My husband was not allowed to go so he and his brothers and his cousins went camping got really drunk and fired off a potato bomb gun? Now I am getting the riot act read to me like I am shoving my kids into seductive drug addled drunken pits of hell. (I am so not exaggerating).They say it is wrong that God says proms are sinful and good parents don't expose their kids to temptation. Where is that scripture? Is the issue that proms are wrong? or is it that maybe some parents don't trust their kids to make the right decision if or when pressured? Am I wrong? I would love to hear from both sides adults and teens. This is just not something I feel like I am equipped to make a decision on yet.
Can I a muslim to go to prom?
Take it as someone who DID this haram and i regret it. It is definently the place of Sheytan and there will be haraam temptations. If you know Haraam will be done, such as dancing/kissing/physical relations with a na mahram man/woman, whether you are involved or not, it is Haraam to go to such a place. I made this mistake because i was stupid and wanted to be "free" like a westerner. This culture is just wrong sister. Its not the fact that you wont do anything, you are in that environment around people that WILL in fact do that stuff. I highly recommend to reconsider and not go, it will have a bad effect on you. If my own blood sister asked me this question vallah i would say the same thing. Salaam
What kind of parents allow their kids to have underage prom parties at their home?
When I was in high High School, my date’s parents had a prom party at their house after the prom.6 couples showed up at about midnight, and they had taken all of the furniture out of three rooms, gotten together with a bunch of the other parents, and turned the house into a restaurant.Complete with the parents wearing waiter and waitress uniforms.They served us dinner exactly as they would in any fine dining establishment, and treated us like royalty.It was several decades later that I realized they had also been making sure that we didn't do anything stupid after the prom.my wife and I don't have kids, but every year we help out a bunch of our friends do this exact same thing.So far, the kids absolutely love it.
How do I get a prom date, if I go to an all boy school?
Here are a few things that my friends from an all boys’ school would have done, back in high school. Im not sure how the US works, but where I live, this was what people did:Ask your friends to set you up. This was by far the safest option, because friends were familiar with other people from other schools, and they wouldnt set you up with a horrible person.Ask one of your neighbor friends, or family friends (aka mom’s friends daughter, brothers friends sister, etc etc). If you have a friend who is a girl and happens to be your family friend, there’s no harm in asking someone who’d also be willing to go.Search for your date from nearby schools. Im not sure how near your schools are, but from where I live, schools were almost nearly just 10–15 mins by car. People were bound to know at least a few friends from other schools from mutual friends at least. You could always ask girls from other schools, whom you are acquainted with.Basically, search through all the possible friends you could possible have, whether by networking or finding dates yourself, explain your situation, and ask! Hope you have a blast.
