I don’t want to go to the prom with a guy
Hey Rosie,
Quick and simple question. I donât want to go to prom with a guy. I would rather go with a group of girls, then go to the after party with a whole group of friends. My mom is very upset and disappointed because I would not have a picture, corsage etc with a boy. I told her I really donât care, but she said when I get older, I would regret it. Should I give in and ask my friend just to fill in for the pictures and what my mom wants? Because, as soon as we get to the prom, I would be hanging with my girls!

Hello Old Style,
Let me say this, your mom will always want the traditional things that she has always dreamt for you. Even though itâs not a big deal to you, Iâd give her the opportunity to have the pictures and fuss over you for the few minutes before you leave â it wouldnât kill you.
I do realize that times have changed and the prom scene is very different from my days of going to my graduation ball. I think itâs a very easy compromise, to let your mom have her moment and then you can have yours after with your friends.
For me, above everything, I am asking you to be safe… no drugs and alcohol. Also most importantly, no drinking and driving either. Have a safe and enjoyable time and congrats on this big moment in your life.
Rosie
