36. I never understood the concept of the prom to begin with...
All it does is feed into the the social class order of the school. Amplifying the have nots, the haves and the have mores.

To me it has always been a study in teenage torment. The cute girls get the cute guys, the jocks get the cheerleaders and they are all on display as being the "best" that the school can offer. While the rest are left to fend for themselves and envious of what they don't have.

It is all so bizarre. I find it nothing more than modern societies coming out for the alpha male and female.

As a race of people we have not evolved at all, we just wear better clothes and have straighter teeth.
