Gee. I feel like a FREAK. I liked high school. I liked dances. I went to Prom with a senior when I was a freshman. Oh heck, I went to homecoming with another senior when I was a freshman. I just remembered. He passed away years ago, in his 20s. Nice, funny guy.
Back then, us girls wore the fashion of the day: the plaid long skirts with boots and a sweater. We went to dinner beforehand, at a restaurant that was considered 'posh' but really wasn't.
One year me and two of my girlfriends didn't have dates, so we gussied up and went together. My mom thought that was really cool. Nowadays, I know it's the norm for groups of people to go.
I think she should go. It's a great memory, even if you don't have fun it will certainly give you something to bitch about years down the road.
I think more people should lighten up during HS, and enjoy it. You know, don't pretend they're just too cool for school. Then they might not be so damn bitter years later.
Hebe seems to be a well-rounded individual. Tell her I said to go and enjoy it!
