Q: This Wednesday, the 30th, my high school stated that it would no longer be sponsoring a Junior or Senior prom...and thats final. They tried to explain why it was they made their decision. I actually agreed with the decision, and strongly believe that despite what the students say; it's all being done for the right reasons...after all, it was a difficult decision to make.
Maybe you've heard about it on the news before, or will soon. I'm a Junior, and this is an all guys high school, in New York. The teachers expressed that they were willing to listen to students this time, and they wanted feedback on not why they should bring back the prom - because thats not happening no matter what - but instead what can be done as an alternative. In other words, how can they sponser something that can be just as fun, or even better, and not have to know that there will be after parties or excessive spending in which people will do wrong things.
That Wednesday, I took my own time during class to find the principal, assistant principal, and those who were majorly involved to see if I could hold a meeting next week. I wanted the meeting to be for the people in my grade, anyone who wanted to attend, to see if we could brainstorm, be heard, and come up with a creative alternative, this time without limits. The teachers have said that they are willing to think outside the box this time, such as an overnight weekend trip from maybe Thursday to Sunday at theme park - anything goes. So my question is...do you have any ideas of your own for alternatives; and how should I present this to my classmates in a way to get positive feedback (by the way, most do not see this decision as I do, but rather as being 'punished and unfair'). Thanks in advance, serious answers please - will rate 5.

hey! well...i think that the theme park thing actually does sound like a pretty good idea. definitley something having to do with like a couple days of a trip. taking away prom is a big deal, so something really big has to make up for it. you live in new york, which is home of the city that never sleeps, so if you don't live in new york city or that close to it, maybe you could go there from like thurs. to sun. and just do different stuff the whole time. be able to get in groups of so many or as one big group and go do fun things! or maybe you should travel out of state, like to florida or texas, or i know chicago is a really really awesome place to go. hope you can find something to do to find stuff to do in certain cities google them and you should find travel guides! good luck hope you can go and have a good time even if it isn't prom
