[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 586381, member: 1550"] Thanks, Susie. I actually was very rebellious and had no interest at all in school activities and I dated older boys so the prom was a big nothing to me. I didn't go because my boyfriends were always older. Strangely, in spite of this, I also never had any sex. I used to make fun of people who ran for homecoming or prom queen (in my head) and also thought cheerleaders were silly. Rebel was my middle name, except that I didn't do drugs or drink or have sex...that was also a part of rebelling since most kids I knew did all those things and I wanted to be different. But Jumper isn't anything like me THANK THE GOOD LORD! I also had a slew of mental health problems and no self-esteem. At this smaller school, it's a HUGE deal and everyone goes. Or I don't know of anyone not going. We mainly have a bunch of close-knit fairly conventional kids, but lots of them don't take dates. And for dates, last night my daughters very best friend on earth, a boy, asked her to prom. I had known he was going to do it because I'm friends with the mother. He is actually not just very handsome (although shy with girls), but not at all aggressive about sex and he has had a big crush on Jumper for a long time and they do everything together. The mother is very sweet and she is afraid Jumper will say "no." And, of course, her son will feel bad. I am hoping Jumper can say "no" in a way that they can still stay friends because their friendship is amazing. I hope that when she finds out that he likes her in that special way, she can still be his friend. They do everything together. There are no negatives to their friendship...they have a blast together and are always there for one another. But to Jumper, the point of Prom is to be able to be free, to dance with anyone you like, and to not be tied down to one person. And she most definitely won't go out drinking...she looks down at getting drunk and doing drugs, being the athlete and all. She is the only child I ever had that I really don't worry about because the worst trouble she has ever been in is talking back to a teacher because he tried to stop her from scaring a bully away from a younger child. And she doesn't lie (she will admit when she does something wrong almost defiantly) and she doesn't hide anything...we are FB friends and she doesn't care if I spot read her cell phone and she stays away from the wild kids. I hope she doesn't decide to go wild in college. She's a logical thinker. I can't see her going too far off the edge. Of course, you never know, but I'm enjoying her right now. [/QUOTE]
