High School proms in other countries than the USA?

[Vargur]

Please stop spreading your corrupting influence to US <3

Fixed it.
We have "proms", but not something as static/boring/formal as in the US movies.

Here you go!

I see what you did, the token black in the bottom middle and the shaolin monk on the left to reach out to the asian market. I see your game. Not to mention a Sid Vicious/Annie Lennox cross with red hair at the top left!

I'd link mine but they're even worse, I went to a private school and whilst we had a few indians and asians we had 3 people you'd consider to be black. Out of 120. The ratio was not good, but it was a very white dominated area.

Well we probably should have had more asian/latino people in that shot. Our school was only like 1-2% black, but it was like 20% latino and like 40% asian. It's not like we didn't hang out with asian people constantly, so I don't know why they aren't better represented in that photo.

The guy in the dress in the picture is one of three guys who came to the prom in dresses, from different social groups. The guy in the photo's girlfriend came in a tux.

Prom, not really. We do have (atleast when i was still in highschool) schoolparty´s. The school would rent out a club, and all the pupils went there for a 2 euro entrance fee.
The club would provide all the services they normally would on a saturday night. Party would last from 20:30 to about 13;00. This would occur about 5 to 6 times a year. Theres also a christmas Gala. At all those parties 16 and up would get a wristband for alcohol, so minors coulnd get drinks. Didnt stop them from coming to us and pay double or triple the price to get it for em. Free drinks xD

Senior year we had a seniors only night. Clubbing first, and everyone slept in tents at the schools outdoor sports facility. I think about 5 new lifes were born that night, so they cancelled that last part for later senior nights.

Besides from that, there were a couple of kids with a buisiness mindset. They would rent the same places occasionally and ask a 5 buck entrance fee. But those were only available from age 16 and up due to no control on alcohol usage.

This would be awesome. U.S. proms are complete bullshit, got thrown out of both of them for showing up with my breath smelling of alcohol.

Yeah we wouldn't have had anyone who'd do that sort of thing. Everyone just dressed normally even for those events. We had a non uniform day and this weird kid (he genuinely had some kind of problem) showed up in his traditional indian clothing. He got sent home from school or suggested that he should change (kek) I can't remember which as he wasn't in any of my classes.

i had a great prom years ago, but i dont really see the point of it. for one night you spend tons of money to make it look like you have made something out of yourself, just to realize you haven't done jack the next morning.

its the same like any friday night, except you are paying $1000 for a suit and a rental car.

In Australia, some years ago - we had a Senior Formal, which is close to but pretty different to the 'prom' that I see in movies (no idea how that compares to reality).

Eh, our teachers at the prom just shook their heads, smiled, and said something like, "Kids these days..."

Not in Canada either. I don't even think we had school dances.

They exist in Canada, just not to the same extent. I had elementary and high school proms.

We had a final year prom in my high school. And it was even called a prom.

This was in Scotland though... and was nothing like a US prom because it was all ceilidh dancing...

We have them in Denmark, aswell. I spent most of my time drunk hitting on a girl, getting her number and all. Only to realize the next day that she was ugly and I wasn't really attracted to her, and that drinking makes you do stupid things. Needless to say I still feel guilty about leading her on, but im a dude, so whatever

That happened to me only once. When I woke up next to her in the morning, she turned to me and said, "So where do you want to take this relationship," and I replied, "Ummmm, I don't know you."

That one, Shannon... Man if you have stretch marks at what? 17? That's some bad fucking news right there.

[bufferunderrun]

just out of curiosity proms are more common in private school or they do that even in public one?

I would say it's more common in public schools than private or parochial schools.

We had a Prom at my school, hell I went to 3 I think, finishing GCSE's, finishing A-Levels and then another one for something I can't remember.

Also what's wrong with that kids face, he seems so pointy.
