Never have I attended a high school prom, dance, or graduation

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Dang it. I had it to the very end.

No prom no dances but I did graduate and attend my graduation.

I was the only one that graduated that year because I went to a small school and I worked ahead and so technically I was valedictorian and also technically every party I go to is a reunion party for my graduating class.

I'm sure these are just things from the US. The only reason I know what a prom is is because of TV. Before that I only ever heard 'prom' as an abbreviation for promenade

Are these a normal things in the US or just a movie thing? Because we didn't have that
