How was yours?
I recall sneaking booze in, my mate tonging my hair to look like Capella's (I still sport a scar), and a 7ft Christmas tree falling on a group of folk, wearing a very shiny, short silver dress, and 6th former coping off with a teacher. Also the local DJ who was banging one of our mates.
Happy times!... How was yours? |

I dont think we had one either, they were too keen to just get rid of us back then. Eldest didnt get her prom as her school are gatekeeping sadistic wankers. But Im over that now  |

Proms didn’t exist here when I was at school and they never had a disco which I dont blame them we were horrible little bastards why would they voluntarily spend more time with us other than what they had to in a school day haha |

We didn't have a promotion. I'm totally against them the amount of money parents are expected to pay out.
We had a disco and I remember dancing to if I said you had a beautiful body with a lad who later turned out to be gay.
We also sneaked alcohol and drank it round the back of the disco |

Ours was called the May Ball - yep, my school did a good line in pretension.
It was an all boys school so we had the extra challenge of making sure there was a good gender balance so we teamed up with a girls' school down the road. Ours was end of 6th form so most people were 18 so we were allowed booze - though the teachers tried and failed to police amounts consumed!
I remember taking a gorgeous friend (still not sure how I plucked up the courage to ask her - she was/is stunning); we dated a bit but never more than a kiss before becoming best mates. I'm good at that. |

Never went to a prom or school leavers' disco. First time I attended such an event was at uni; it was called the summer/end of year ball.
Was fun back then in a rite-of-passage thing. But now if you asked me, I'd skip out on it as I no longer see the point of it. Everything's going to be overpriced, you dress up to the nines and end up having to jostle with every other attending student at uni, possibly ruining whatever you're wearing with spilt alcohol, and I never understood the logic of dancing to club music at such a ball dressed up in formal wear either. |

Proms didn’t exist when I left school (2003) we had a leavers do at a local hotel. Copious amounts of cider in the local park before getting on the bus and 20 lambert & butler was as good as ours got.  |

Don't know if my school did one or not, but I certainly didn't go to one.
That was, of course, long before we 'imported' this american crap called 'Prom'.
Sorry, but 'prom' is short for 'promenade' and it's what we also call the 'seafront' |

South African schools didn't do things like school discos in the 80s. Most would haveca Matric (final year) dance. I went to ours with the sister of a friend in a lower year. We had it at a rather nice hotel on Durban beachfront. All rather swish. |

We went to our 6th form prom together. We have a picture of us taken by the pro photographer and I still have the necklace he gave me. We booked ourselves a room in the Holiday Inn and bought fluffy handcuffs from Ann Summers to play with. We remember our mates hammering on our hotel room door in the morning while we were still having fun. We skipped breakfast......  |

To promenade is to walk in a leisurely fashion, in a public place. "The prom" is actually describing the motion and location of the walk, not the thing itself, at least originally. A promenade is also a particular dance move (a specific walk). |

Our school didn't do anything like that. The Head wore a proper gown and had a mortice board type hat. All very proper.
So no, no vulgar displays of that kind of thing. Whilst it was a very well moneyed school, we frowned on places like Eton with their vulgar displays of wealth. I guess we were similar in many ways, but the school was quietly wealthy and didn't do li_elight or show. |

Brilliant. I did go to an all girl's school so it wasn't exactly wild. But we dressed up, string quartet and then some awful cheesy disco. I didn't drink but we did go and meet a group from the boy's school after.
Oh and I kissed the hottest girl.  No idea how I managed that.  |

Our head wore a gown etc too. It was a CofE state comprehensive though. We still had a prom. I'm not convinced that the head had anything to do with its planning, nor the head of 6th form who was a teacher of Latin. |

We had a leavers disco. They made a specific point of telling us it wasn't a prom. We had fizzy drinks and Crisps and shite music. Was fun to spend with my friends, had a dance, took some pics etc. We didn't take it seriously. No alcohol, there was no need. We had a party later in the year where our parents bought us alcohol and let us celebrate how we wanted to. |
