I went to 5 proms (First and 3rd with an older boyfriend, second one with a friend, and then to two during my senior year because I dated someone at a different school), and I had fun at all but the one with the friend...so I'd say prom is marginally better than ground glass in the eyes, but nothing to worry about missing either. CERTAINLY not something a person can't live without! CERTAINLY!!!
And great comment, Mia. Right on the mark! Every parent of every GT child I know is looking for peers. Every one! Comments like that person with the so-called "firsthand experience" (Bah!) are just shameful, I think.
