What you walaity desi folks do on proms & homecomings? Please shed some light on this for me.
Re: Proms & homecomings
I didn’t go to prom..stayed at home and chilled..no interest
Re: Proms & homecomings
Well at my school, there are a ton of Muslims. Most of us don’t do anything on homecoming since homecoming isn’t a huge deal. On senior prom, the Muslims that date and such go to the actual prom. The rest, the more conservatives and hijabjs, all dress up and go out to eat at a fancy place and take pictures and do their own thing… 
Re: Proms & homecomings
I really wanted to go to prom with a bunch of my friends but Alas my mother said no. So I did dress up and head out to dinner with them but then we parted, they went to prom, I went home 
Re: Proms & homecomings
I went to my senior prom with a group of friends, no one was paired off with “dates”…we dressed up, went to dinner, went to the dance, and then the school/pta sponsored after event that was held at the neighborhood rec center. It was a pretty harmless evening and my Ammi didn’t have an issue with me going.
Re: Proms & homecomings
My desi/Muslim friends went to these events in highschool; they didn’t dance or have dates. They just saw it as an occasion to dress up. I never went to them; didn’t interest me enough. But it was fun to try on dresses with my friends though lol.
Re: Proms & homecomings
I was supposed to go to prom but I overslept. Don’t really regret it
Re: Proms & homecomings
Didn’t go to my high school one because most of my friends never went and plus we weren’t really leaving (went straight onto sixth form).
Went to my sixth form (dunno what that is for american’s maybe end of your high school?). Wasn’t particulary impressive. White people getting wasted and what not. But a lot of us asian’s went and we kinda just did our own thing/socialising without the drinking and all. Was good i guess since it really was the end of being in the same classes for abut 7 years for a huge majority of us.
Re: Proms & homecomings
On prom I just went with friends, dressed up, had dinner and danced the night away. Prom is way too over-hyped tbh.
Re: Proms & homecomings
I went to an all boys boarding school from 14-18, didn’t have time for this sissie stuff. To busy playing Rugby and doing man things.
Re: Proms & homecomings
All boys boarding schools tend to have dances and proms with nearby girls schools as well tho, don’t they?
I was in boarding for a while and my school did.. My brother’s school was all boys with boarding and they did too..
Re: Proms & homecomings
Not the one I went to - they had a small thing where only really sissies went.
Re: Proms & homecomings
The area where I live in, lots o f (Muslim) kids for their eighth grade and high school prom just go with their friends and hang about. Some opted not to go at all. Those who went, did not go to the after parties. During the prom season, Islamic organizations held some versions of same gender halal proms where girls got to dress up and eat with their friends and chill out.
Re: Proms & homecomings
I went to my high school prom with a bunch of friends. We got all dolled up, rented a limo together. …and really at the prom it was just fancy dinner and dancing …no booze or any of that other stuff you hear about. Later I thought it was a waste of a lot of $…but good to experience last big event with friends.
These events are usually well chaperoned and many schools have alternative events like gaming nights afterwards.
Re: Proms & homecomings
PS. For kids that are gonna drink or other crazy stuff, they will do it without prom. For those that aren’t like that, they won’t do at the “prom” either.
Re: Proms & homecomings
Didn’t go to prom. Went to a movie and then dinner with a few friends.
Re: Proms & homecomings
Yup! Our post prom party organized by the PTA was a gaming/karaoke night. It was actually more fun then the prom itself lol. They were very strict about entry, and once you were in, if you left your were not allowed back in. There were scores of parent chaperones and school staff and not a sign of alcohol anywhere. Everyone knew not to been attempt to drink or show up under the influence at a school sponsored event because graduation would be at risk.
Re: Proms & homecomings
Amen!
Re: Proms & homecomings
No proms at my school…all girls school
