• This year, I didn't get to go to prom for some reason unknown to me.... It was all my mom's doing. Unfortunately, she thinks that prom is for only seniors when it is called the "Junior-Senior" prom. She is totally oblivious to the clarity of the title, apparently. I thought it was pretty self-explanitory. I'm just trying to figure out why she wouldn't let me go!!! I get straight As all the time all my classes, even in my college courses. I'm in the National Honor Society. I don't do drugs and I hate alcohol and I never ever go out except for school functions and sometimes, if she's feeling a bit generous, a close friend's party with adult supervision. Even if there was anything illegal present at the party, does she really believe that I would get caught up in it? And those of you who would wave it away as her wish to protect me from the dangers of the outside world in an effort to retain my childish innocence, it goes deeper than that. What she wants is to completely control me. I never get to leave the house without getting the third degree and even then, most of the time I still don't get to go. Prom was just one of the many instances where this has taken place. It just happened to be one of the most important and memorable to me. We may not even have one next year because of the previous class.... Aw.
