Im a highschool student preparing a research report for my human growth and development class. This question is the basis of my thesis. And thought i'd ask parents there opinion on the matter.
"Is the encouragement students going as couples to highschool prom's healthy?"
Its based around the encouragement of couples attending prom through selling tickets at discounted prices to couples. And the general expectations and pressures that surround school social events, perpetuated by the promotion of attending as "couples." And wether this trend is healthy for a teen/students development, not to mention healthy for academics.
I'm asking what you as parents think about this, do the pressure to attend prom or other school events as couples put unhealthy strain on a teen? and does that negatively affect there academic and social development?
(I myself am all for school based social events, however am observing some... stress amongst peers when it comes to our schools prom, which is coming up soon. And am wondering if some small changes in the events promotion and reputation could alleviate most of the stress and strain im observing, and experiencing myself, to a degree.)
Thanks!
