I believe we should raise our son's to be loving and great to girls but this is going to far. I think these boys and moms are doing it for one of two reason. 1 is because everyone else is and they feel they won't get a date if they don't and 2 is to show off. Both of these are bad reasons to do something and they make me sad! I hope things change.AmieJohttp://lifeslittleprojects.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-18787663897945876862014-10-27T14:06:44.910-04:002014-10-27T14:06:44.910-04:00I wrote something about this a few years ago. http...I wrote something about this a few years ago. http://www.holy-craft.com/2012/05/what-is-it-with-prom-these-days.html<br />I totally feel the same way two years later. My thoughts haven't changed especially since my son is now of dating age. I think it's over the top and sets up things that should be momentous for failure (actual proposals).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453791558601335940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-7585943471509726182014-10-27T13:50:18.786-04:002014-10-27T13:50:18.786-04:00I have to blame social media - would they go to su...I have to blame social media - would they go to such lengths if they couldn't brag about it online??Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-9099100598060338092014-10-27T09:11:29.402-04:002014-10-27T09:11:29.402-04:00I agree with you 100% on this!

I have the same thoughts and concerns as you. Why does everything have to be so over the top? First of all, it's high school!! Why are the parents encouraging and adding to the pressure to their own kids to "top" each other. I think it's sad that a lot of moms are taking this over to be their project also. Get a life and stop living through your kids. What kind of message are you sending them that they will always have to put on a huge display or show to get a girl to like you? Maybe if more of us keep raising concerns about this the media might work to our advantage? We need to spread the word that this is dumb and needs to stop! Courtneynoreply@blogger.com
