Now after my three kids all went to their high school prom I'm not so sure.
Yes its not cheap, but they all had a fantastic time.
When it was my daughter's prom, she and her friends met at our house to have photos, and it was lovely to see the girls in their evening gowns and the lads in their tuxes, probably the first time a lot of them had ever worn a suit!

Couldn't agree more Slinkycat! Yes, it may be cheap, but when you see the smiles on their faces and the beautiful dresses and suits I think it's lovely; it must be such a night to remember for them! My school prom was amazing and I can remember every moment of the day!
Flicktheswitch, lots just go in groups of friends, not a lot have 'dates' and they have the choice to go or not

Well then ladies, I take it all back. I'm just going by the pictures I've seen in my local paper. Girls wearing (clearly expensive) dresses, salon-styled hair, flash cars. I don't think any of that would come "cheap".
I'm sure when I have some kind of experience of this, I may change my mind. I'm sure it is a proud moment when you see your child all dressed up and leaving school :)

For many young people the only time they will be able to dress up formally will be their own wedding or a prom. Many do not marry. A dress, a suit, vehicle not important, the cost is not perhaps too much. Hired suit, made dress, (or has every female forgotten on or not learned how to sew?) An opportunity to feel almost an adult (if 16) or to celebrate (if 18). Not applicable to primary children.
