Lagnaf, it seems you agree with me and the crazed stories are a stretch. I concur it is what it is.Read More I grew up in Nj and did not experience this but neither did most people my age. I trust my kids to make the right choices for themselves and stand firm that at age 18 it is now their life. I also think the writer of the original article has much younger kids and is naive Only time will tell. Wish all the kids a happy and safe prom weekend and college experience. Good luck to your son after graduation

Ruth, I don't think there is anything to revisit. If people don't want their kids to go say no orRead More don't pay. Why punish everyone This is not a school event, so there is nothing you can do except say no to your child.

Yes, most kids are 18, yes most kids don't go "over the top" crazy. But just because oneRead More raises their kid with good morals, dignity and to do the right thing, does not insure they will act in this light during a weekend like this. Most kids will come out of this weekend unscathed, reputation in tact with good memories for a life time. But there is that 10% (maybe more, maybe less, I don't care if it's even one kid) that do go over the top and come home changed. I know of a "goody two shoes" who has come home and is now the topic of the school's conversations; where the talk used to be about all of the awards and accomplishments, now it's about this one wasted weekend. This was a kid raised with good morals and dignity - made a few bad decisions in a row on one crazed night and is now disgraced. One kid, one story. Did you read about the Clark kids? (Sorry Clark, I know this could have been ANY town, not just yours.) That's 7 kids, 7 stories. And I'm sure there are many more stories that don't reach the press or parents ears. Yes, parents can say no, but my heart isn't breaking for my kids right now or any house or hotel condition. It's breaking for the kids (be it one or twenty) whose parents said yes and they have come home changed. I am happy for you that you're children came back OK.This is my opinion, and I don't believe I am naive because my kid hasn't gone to prom yet, I don't have the answers, I just hope that somehow in the future these kids can be protected better.
