I know for a fact that we have all has bad experiences on prom night, prom is a direct threat to every ugly and nerdy highschool student.
Me and another incel have had the same experience where we never told our parents about when prom was and we just didn't go, ofcoarse when they found out we skipped prom they got pissed off, because of the media popularization of prom they expected their son to be some Casanova that would have a date.
Prom is a huge social pressure and source of depression for guys like us, it should be banned for causing severe mental trauma to students. Some students have probably even vomited suicide because of prom.
