What not to do on prom night

Want to make sure you get great prom pictures on the big night? Make sure you arrange for a photographer (by which we mean, someone's parent!) before the big night. 

But whatever you do, don't ask the limo driver to do it. Why not? Just ask the North Carolina teens who saw their limousine drive off into the sunset -- without them! -- when the limo driver got out to snap photos of the group.

Apparently, the kids asked the driver if he'd take a few pictures, so he stepped out of the town car and left his keys in the ignition. But before he was done capturing the moment, someone else had captured something else -- the car itself. The thief apparently showed off his new wheels to friends before abandoning it in a parking lot. 

The limo was later found, and all the kids' possessions were recovered, but nevertheless: a word to the wise!

There is a long, storied history of teenage girls hitting up tanning salons in preparation for the prom. But this year, amid increased health warnings and studies that claim that tanning might actually be, in addition to deeply unhealthy, actually addictive, there are talks of taxing tanning salons -- or even banning them altogether. According to the LA Times, tanning "activates the same parts of the brain triggered by drug dependence." Furthermore, 
      
        "The study screened college students using two standard questionnaires designed to    
         assess addiction and modified to assess tanning behavior. Among 229 people who   
         said they had used indoor tanning facilities in the past, 39% met one measure's 
         criteria for addiction; 30% met the other measure's criteria."

Research shows that tanning at UV-emitting beds can increase the risk of melanoma among youth by 75%. Additionally, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently classified tanning beds in their highest cancer risk category -- alongside asbestos, arsenic, and cigarettes. 

All of which is to say: Save your money -- and your skin -- and skip the tanning salons this year.

When it comes to planning for prom, there are a couple of pretty standard catastrophes that you want to make sure to avoid. For instance, make sure that your dress fits, and will not a) tear or b) slip throughout the evening. Additionally, it would be best to wear steady heels that are unlikely to break in the midst of a feverish dance session. You should try to make guarantee that your prom date does not plan on ditching you in a humiliating fashion at the last minute, a la Never Been Kissed and other similar teen films. (Though the preventative steps for this particular disaster are harder to define.) But one thing you probably don't have to worry about is... your limousine getting repossessed on the spot. Right? 

Um, wrong! A group of Oklahoma prom-goers witnessed as their ride got carted away by a repo man. Luckily, the teenagers had already been driven to the dance itself. According to the limo company, the whole thing was just a communication. I bet!

Remember Constance McMillen, who wasn't allowed to go to the prom because she's gay? Well,  now she's the fire marshal at the annual New York City Gay Pride Parade. Booyah.

Today's New York Times has an article about how a New York high school has, in an attempt to curb wild, drunken, party-animal behavior, scheduled prom for school nights. Additionally, students who are late to school will not be able to make up missed work or attend sports events. What do you guys think? Will this be an effective method of encouraging students to act responsibly, or... will everyone just skip school the next day?

taylor-swift[1].jpgNow, in more inspiring prom-related news, we have the story of 17-year-old Kiara Bracy, a junior at Murphy High School in Mobile, AL, who made it to her prom despite the fact that her home -- and her prom dress with it -- had been ravaged in a tragic March 21 house fire. Bracy, her two brothers and their mother lost everything but each other: furniture, family mementos and photos, and even their two dogs. Needless to say, Bracy was not planning to attend the prom in the wake of the disaster. But hearing of the family's plight, community members stepped in and --from a mix of small business owners and local good samaritans -- gathered a dress, accessories, and various other prom night necessities so that Bracy would indeed be able to attend. On the night of the dance, her only missing component was... a date. But lo and behold! Who showed up to escort her? None other than the 17-year-old's crush. Talk about a happy ending.
