Road Trip Wednesday #126: Prom!


Welcome to the 126th Road Trip Wednesday!

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments - or, since this week's topic is a short one, you can include your answer in the comments.

This Week's Topic:
It's almost prom season, and since we love to read and write about teenagers, we want to hear your prom stories!

Road Trip Song:

"High School Never Ends" by Bowling For Soup

    Oh look, and it's a P-word for us A-to-Z Bloggers, too! How considerate of you, Kody! Unfortunately, I went to school in the UK, and we didn't do a prom, so this is something I don't have a lot of experience with... so for the first time in a long time, I'll have to sit this one out. Sorry!

    I grew up in South Africa. We don't have a prom but we do have a bunch of other dances. Here's my story

    OK, so I had a Hermione moment. All will be explained in my contribution. :)

    Oh my gosh, that picture! The vest! And the hat! I love that guy for going all out, that's awesome.

    My boyfriend for prom wore a silver satin suit his mom made to match my dress. And he wore patent leather skater shoes - Airwalk sneakers I think. I think four other guys borrowed that suit over the next few years. I'm all for trying something different, even if it's more funny than cool looking back on it.

    Oh no, I totally have nothing for this one--never went to a prom, despite attending three high schools. Maybe those are related; was never at a school long enough for me to get asked. It probably didn't help that I only went to school 1-2 days a week!

    Perhaps someone intended to ask me but couldn't find me? Yeah, I'm going with that.

    I never went to either of my proms. So I have no story to tell.

    Because I really needed to share photos from my Awkward Teenage Years with the entire internet.
