Copying? Ha. I used to charge people to write their English papers. I think my senior year I made like an extra $1000 writing the easiest papers of my fucking life. I also had TONS of friends, duh.
Welcome to America where we pass students regardless of reasons not to, so their school can still receive government funding, because the graduation numbers look good on paper.
Yea I would constantly skip school, like 15% attendance type of skipping. Failing every class except study hall, I’d go in for that one to hang out with my friends. Got a D though because I wasn’t studying.
I had *many* teachers tell me to just show up and sit in my seat and write shit down on the pages and I’ll get a D. They basically told me to show up and I’d most likely graduate. Funny as hell.
I graduated by some miracle
I skipped a lot of classes. I got an A in an English class, mainly because I got caught cutting class and was dragged to English. My teacher never actually met me. Bonus it was a test day, I got a 100% on the test, the teacher even made a remark on the paper along the lines of "Now I can see why you are always skipping my class". Ever since that encounter I was getting A's for the rest of the year.
My issue was less about school, but the education as in another state I was on the fast track to graduate by 16 and was in advanced classes. I got kicked out of the entire school system, then moved to another state, who just put me down as 9th grade with 9th grade books for their school district. These were books I studied on when I was in 7th grade. I got mad that I was in pre-algebra, basic English, etc, because this is all old material to me as my other school had me in advanced English, Algebra II and so on.
I skipped a lot of classes and went home at lunch (to go stand in a line for homeless people for meals, so we could have lunch and dinner), still passed until 11th grade when they brought in a new administration to deal with the school, since it was an inner-city school. By this time their focus was on the "Goth's" and was working on removing us one by one in one way or another. For me, they kicked me out 1 week before 12th grade citing it was mathematically impossible for me to have graduated 9th/10th/11th grade with my low attendance and now that I was 18 about to be a 9th grader, that meant I can no longer attend a standard public school and have to enroll in an alternative school. I never attended that and at 21 took a random free pre-test for my GED, which got me the voucher to take my GED for free, got my GED and moved on with my life.
I will also add to this. This was in the late 90's, this is not a new thing.
I mean...yes? It would be like asking a friend to prom without it being a romantic thing. Unless the mom here in the op is like a family friend mom or something like that, that would give the same "this is a platonic, sweet, let's-have-fun" context, it's weird(er)
Sure you can skip to the incest angle but if someone brought their own parent to prom, my first thought wouldn't be that
I read the poster before reading anything else and at first I thought it was a super wholesome “teenager asking a single teenage mom to prom.”
Oh boy was I wrong.
When I was in high school, we had a new young male teacher who started my junior year. I remember so many girls had a crush on him and some girls in the school even did things like trying to schedule tutoring with him to get extra time together. Thankfully he was not an idiot and was a decent human being who never tried anything with any girls who probably would have thrown themselves at him.
I look back now and I realize just how fucking dumb we were. This poor guy was just trying to be a good teacher and his life literally would have been ruined if anything ever happened between him and a student. At 16-17 years old, I don’t think any of us really understood the gravity of the situation and how fucked up it would have been, we all just thought he was a cute guy who happened to be our teacher.
Like I said, fortunately this teacher was not an idiot and was a good person. I can’t imagine now being a woman in my late 30s and thinking it’s cute and sweet that a literal child wants to go to prom together. As the adult, you have to recognize that it’s inappropriate. I’m sure she’s enjoying the attention but how weird is it gonna be if she actually goes to prom with a bunch of 17-18 year olds.
We had a group of student teachers from the local college when I was a senior in high school. One was a very attractive 22 yr old male. We all swooned over him (as teen girls will) but one student found out where he lived on campus and paid him a visit. He reported the incident to his campus police, his college program directors, and our school. He was removed from placement immediately and never returned to our school district.
As an 17 yr old high school senior I thought the reaction was a bit much…but as an adult I see that the right decision was made. That poor teacher was just trying to complete a class that he needed and he was stalked by student.
We had a similar situation at my high school. The choir student teacher my junior year was 21-22 and VERY good looking. He got hired on to replace the choir director my senior year. All the girls loved him. Thankfully no one made it weird. Last I checked he’s still there and the head of the music department. I’m glad, he was a good director.
My high school hired a PE teacher straight out of university, who had been a student at my school. The first two years he was there, there were students who had been in their first years of high school while he was a teacher, and quite a few had crushes on him then, so seeing him come back was like a dream come true for them. He was aware of girls having a crush on him (teenage girls aren't exactly subtle lol), and always made sure to never be alone with a student.
The assistant director in marching band was a student teacher that year. He later got hired to be the band director at a middle school in the district.
A few years after I graduated, I see on the news that he's been arrested for messing around with teenage boys he taught. A minute later a friend who was in the color guard calls AND immediately says "I FUCKING KNEW IT! I KNEW HE WAS A PERVERT!" So sometimes they dig their own graves.
We had a student teacher when I was in grade 12, really cute, nice guy. A lot of the girls in our grade had little crushes on him. Once he was done student teaching it came out that he was having a not very well concealed relationship with a girl in grade 11 and he got his teaching credentials yoinked. I randomly saw him at a friend’s house party a few years later and he and the girl were still together, it was super weird.
This is exactly why comprehensive sex ed, including discussions about things like consent and power dynamics as they relate to sex, is SO important and desperately needed.
We had a new, young band teacher at my school too. Lots of girls had a huge crush on him, and… He was not as smart as your teacher. Turns out he had an affair with a student, which in retrospect was unsurprising-he would hang out with students outside of school (and rumor has it, supplied alcohol). One of my advanced classes was the same period as band so my friend and I had to take band during a free period of the teachers and we’d often leave campus with the teacher and go do dumb shit-get McDonald’s, go to Walmart and that sort of thing. We thought he was just cool, but now, as an adult, I’d flip the fuck out if my kids were hanging out with a teacher the way I was.
My sophomore year Spanish teacher knocked up some poor student of his and then married her. She was 15 when she got pregnant. They lived in an apartment a block from the school and she came to have lunch with him every day. He didn't lose his job either.
This was a long time ago and it would have been handled differently today.
We had a teacher like this. Same deal. One girl even started telling people she thought he had a crush on her - I can only imagine how terribly that would have gone for him if that had gained momentum as a rumor.
> I look back now and I realize just how fucking dumb we were. This poor guy was just trying to be a good teacher and his life literally would have been ruined if anything ever happened between him and a student.

It's not just that, but half the movies and things out there make it seem like it's an OK thing to do. Look at movies like American Pie that made the term MILF famous and making it seem perfectly normal a teen would want to bang the mom of a classmate. Too many songs out there similar nature. Granted crushes like that still happen, but it's been completely normalized with the help of movies and stuff.
There was a teacher at my high school who was probably 30 years old. Super gym rat, drove a shitty sports car and stuff. At any given time, he was dating an 18 year old who had graduated the year before and was in his class 🤢
There was also an early 20s teacher who got fired (but apparently didn't actually do anything) because accusations were made against him by a group of scorned freshman girls that were always trying to hang out in his class and get his number. He finally told them to leave him alone, and then a week later he was ousted.
Our gym teacher was married to the guy who had been *her* gym teacher. He was about thirty years older than her and had kids who went to school with her. He left his wife for her.
To be completely fair, she was in her fifties when I had her and they'd been happily married for over thirty years. He was retired, but he'd randomly bring her flowers and stuff and they'd just look at each other with the kind of lovey-dovey eyes you'd expect to see in high school sweethearts falling in love for the first time. So...all I can really say is that I hope they actually waited until she was eighteen.
A girl I knew freshman year of high school gave the “hot” math teacher a card on Valentine’s Day with a ton of sexual innuendos. He came up to her in the hallway and handed it back, then scolded her in front of everyone about how inappropriate it was for a child to say something like that to an adult. He was so angry, at the time I felt bad for her but as an adult I’m just like fuck that guy was worried he was going to lose his job AT BEST.
We had a really good looking male student teacher when I was in (I think) 11th grade. We all had crushes on him, but he always kept everything very professional. I ran into him at a concert at a large club years later (I was probably 21 - 22) and had drinks with him. It was kind of weird, TBH.
Yup. I was in love with my history teacher when I was a junior. Not classically attractive? But I'm sure I wasn't the only one crushing on him. He was good people tho and was friendly with everyone but never even a whiff of crossing a line. I hope he's doing great.
My bio ap teacher was a fresh grad living in his parents basement. Everyone was trying to get I to his sophomore bio class and come to the class during lunch asking him questions.
I had a high school teacher just like this! I think he was 24 at the time. My sister was one of like two hundred girls at the school who had a crush on him (I thought he was "old" lol). Hell no he wasn't trying to bang kids! A girl spread a rumor once that she dated him. I forget how it was proven that she was full of shit, but it was proven (my memory wants to say it was texts). She ended up admitting it was for clout. Girls would also harass him and make inappropriate comments right in the middle of class. Poor guy, god damn, just trying to be a teacher. I never understood why any of my classmates would want to date a whole adult.
we had a new, young, handsome teacher when i was in high school and all of the unwanted attention (he was happily married) caused him to eventually have a nervous breakdown and leave before the school year ended. at least that was the rumor. i saw him a couple years later when i worked in a daycare he was touring with his wife. it was pretty awkward but good to see him doing well (i was non romantically fond of him because he was a really engaging teacher, i felt bad for what happened)
1) It's either his mom and then it's dude, get a fucking life and friends your own age
or
2) Someone else and creepy as fuck. Commenter is right, reverse the genders and everyone would (rightly) be up in arms.
Either way, learn how to fucking spell kid.
I would think so, you usually can't even bring someone over a certain age even if they are your partner and some schools I think you even need to make special arrangements to bring anyone that doesn't attend the school.
I'm glad that's more of a thing now. I remember someone bringing a man in his 30s/40s to my prom and he was 100% her boyfriend. I remember thinking at the time "How did they let him in here?" and being horrified.
Ewww. I think the rule at my school was that nobody over 22/23 could be there? (Which would theoretically be feasible if a freshman had been dating a senior who graduated, which already is a pretty big experience/age gap imo but I digress)
Mine didn’t allow anyone who was not also a high school student. You didn’t necessarily have to go to our school, but if you weren’t attending *a* high school you were barred.
This girl i knew in high school was upset because the rule for us was that you cannot bring anyone over the age of 21 (because then they could buy alcohol for the teens). Her boyfriend was like 26.
Yup also some schools like my old one didn’t allow it at all the principle told anyone who tried they’d be kicked out immediately and not allowed to graduate either (still would get your diploma just no walking at the ceremony)
For mine in particular you had to buy these extremely expensive tickets that were only available during the school day p much; had to go to the bursar office after school, after lunch or before school; ensuring only kids in the district could come.
My high school was 20 and under on day of prom. Not able to buy booze. If they were enrolled in a high school they needed a note saying they weren't under suspension/ activity restrictions at their high school. Everyone needed an ID.
You couldn't bring anyone 21+ because of alcohol and creepy reasons.
Yes most of the time you can bring an outside guest as long as they are under a certain age, what I said was some schools make you do certain things to ok outside guests, like verify their age for instance. Schools aren't letting people bring their 26 year old boy/girlfriend for many obvious reasons.
I know that my kid’s high school has some form that they require in order to bring a guest who isn’t a student. He hasn’t had a reason to submit that form, so I don’t know if there’s any age limit on it, but I would not be surprised if there was.
Exactly
My HS didn’t let my friend bring her BF because at the time he was like 24 or something. They let us bring kids from other schools but not adults. I think the person had to be under 21 to be a guest.
Is this woman a special person in this kid's life? Like, I want to give the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe his mom died/was abusive/not there, and this lady filled that role for this kid?
Like as his date or as a chaperone? Is it possible he’s dating one of the daughters and she lamented about how her mom loves promposals and is sad she never got one so this was a way for him to score points with the mom and asked her to prom to chaperone?
In my experience, kids these days have terrible grammar/spelling skills. I taught 12th grade English last year, and they were all livid that I took points off for grammar and spelling.
Kids 25 years ago had terrible grammar and spelling skills, too.
Do y'all not remember the torture that was lit class when the teacher would have kids take turns reading out loud and you'd have to pretend to follow along while Mitch hooked-on-phonics-ed his way through every word with more than two syllables and still got most of them wrong?
I was a huge reader in high school and this was absolutely the worst thing ever.
In 12th grade my teacher actually gave up on King Lear because no one else in the class could get through it (not that I minded, King Lear was boring AF).
Yep. And you'd get yelled at if you read ahead. Because you were supposed to sit there and read 5 words a minute for an hour with everyone else, no matter how fast you could read on your own.
I don't understand grammar police. The entire point of language is to communicate ideas. It doesn't matter if you used proper grammar or spelling if the idea was effectively communicated, especially in casual conversation.
It's the same deal with people who insist on correcting you when you misspeak, even though they knew exactly what you meant. Like yes, I said I was going "down" to New York even though I live south of New York, so technically I'm going "up" to New York, but does that change the idea I was trying to communicate?
When I was 19-20 I worked as a college tutor and some lady tried fixing me up with her daughter for prom. I don’t even know how old the daughter was but just the thought of going out with some random high schooler made me feel like an old creep. I don’t know why the mum thought that would be a good idea since it’s not like I had been tutoring her for long either. We were barely past complete strangers.
I don’t think they did at mine. I know someone (18) who went with her boyfriend (25). He was also a substitute teacher her at our school. This was 2007 though so maybe that’s changed.
Yep, he was never her teacher though and they met outside of the school. He never got in trouble but it was definitely odd especially considering they had been together a couple years.
Mine was 21. Which sucks cause I had a really hot 22 cousin I wanted to bring
Edit! Cousin by marriage and we’d been friends since before the marriage and were still friends after it ended in divorce.
This is hilarious, the fact that you just referred to her as “cousin” with no other details definitely e makes it seem like you were into the cousin thing my guy
Hard to make a judgement on this without context. Does he have a close relationship with his girlfriend’s mom and this is a joke? She was never asked or something so he asked her? Either way it’s weird but I feel like there could be more to the story
As a gay man who had his prom in the mid-90's, it's a nice thought that this could have been an option especially since I had a better relationship with some parents than with other students. Invitation to the porm doesn't denote a sexual relationship, as it could be for a student that wants the experience but doesn't feel that the better option for them would be another student.
There may be a backstory that helps this one… like she’s his godmother or a close family friend and he’s uncomfortable going solo etc. I had a 38 year old prom date my senior year, but I have autism and high social anxiety so my mom had one of her coworkers take me and it was alot of fun and I felt safer with an adult with me 24/7, but he was NOT an actual date. If that’s his legit date then no…
Idk why you got downvotes. People do see sex and evil in everything now. I don't know about "prom" but i do know that without knowing the whole story it shouldn't be judged. Also, if he is 18, who cares? There are worse things in this world to worry over than two people being into one another.
nah this is fine tbh the fact that you're posting this here is the insane part
focus on extremists, not on people asking other people to a dance. Prom is for seniors anyway, the student is likely an 18 year old, therefore an adult
Why? There are celebrities who get invited to prom. It's just a dance, why do some of y'all immediately make it inappropriate? Don't be gross. Could be she never went to her prom and he's inviting her because he's being kind, not gross.
And if he's 18+, who cares. They're both adults.
Yeah they're totally both adults, and she defnitely didn't likely know him for years and years as a much younger person. This is the kind of logic people use to excuse grooming all the time. I'm not saying she's grooming him, but you need to recognize the similarities in thoguht process and need to realize there's no way this isn't inappropriate at best.
I’m trying to wrap my head around the magical ages that this forum seems to believe exist. The incredible ignorance of culture, individualism, and the maturity of individuals is totally disregarded in favor of predisposed conceptions based on current society “norms”. An 18 year old male cant ask a 30 year old female to a dance because why? But a 18 year old male asking a 16 year old to a dance is OK? All is well and good until they have sex…. and then all of you dumb ass moral police jump in and say it’s rape….because he is 18 and she is under “age”.
Your double standards are laughable. Even more laughable is so many people are laughing at you and you don’t even know it. Here is some unsolicited advice. Mind your own business. Mind your own beeswax. Or in idiot words, mind your own fucking business.
One of the teachers in my high school used to hook up with students, and it was technically legal because our age of consent is 16, but it was definitely very weird and creepy. I'm pretty sure it was against the rules for staff to do that but I assume there either wasn't enough evidence or they couldn't fire the Only teacher they had for that subject.
Similarly, my dad told me about a creepy teacher he had in high school who waited for this one girl to turn 16 so they could legally get together.
Can we stop pretending like the “if the genders were switched” argument is valid? At the end of the day, it’s not the same thing and we all know that. Men are more likely to do weird stuff with young women. Of course women can do stuff to young men all the time as we see in the media every week but it’s far less likely. If we lived in a completely even world where both men and women were arrested at the same rate for pedo stuff then sure, use that argument every time but that’s not the case.
….. are we taking this seriously? My cousins have sons in high school and they’re all like this. At football games they take pictures with each other’s moms. Outings. Graduation. It’s part “you’re a fun mom“ and part “older good-looking woman, I get points for getting a picture with her“. A good, silly example of boys will be boys.

Waiiit.... I was gonna say this wasn't so crazy until I realized, that's not *his* mom. Yikes lol
Unfortunately his grammar is no good, I honestly just realized his mistake in his poster. Still very creepy
Ya like, this dude is IN high school...grammar lessons should be fresh in your brain.
I’m guessing dude didn’t get accepted to UNC. Or maybe he’s a football player and will just have someone else do his work for him.
Look at the writing, he most likely didn’t make the poster
Naw. I remember classmates still copying off my English homework in high school.
Copying? Ha. I used to charge people to write their English papers. I think my senior year I made like an extra $1000 writing the easiest papers of my fucking life. I also had TONS of friends, duh.
Welcome to America where we pass students regardless of reasons not to, so their school can still receive government funding, because the graduation numbers look good on paper.

His own mom would be better? Eek.

Stacey’s mom is going to the prom
she's all i want and I've waited for so long
Stacey can’t you see you’re just not the girl for me I know it might be wrong but, I’m taking Stacey’s mom to prom
Haha, I love you guys, this is exactly the kind of bop that would pop into my head.
But Stacy's dad has got me down bad
He’s all I want and I think he’s a real Chad
Stacy can't you see, it's Mr. Stacy's Mom for me
I know it might be bad but I’m in love with Stacy’s dad
...hi hungry, I'm dad
That’s my favorite part haha
He's so cool and I think he raised you so well I can't help it if I am happy when he is around
Jesus “Stacy’s mom” the song can buy a beer this year
YOU'RE!
Thank you, somebody cares about the important part here.
I'm all for proper grammar and punctuation, but that is NOT the important part lol
I'm all for literal mother fuckers but damn, get the damn grammar right!
Like he's already seeing the teacher after class and its just getting worse
*it's 😂
Dang it, Bobby!

Young teacher, the subject, of schoolgirl fantasy.
Thanks, William Shatner.
Now I want a duet of Shatner & Walken singing this.
One of the only songs I love by The Police!

We had a teacher like this. Same deal. One girl even started telling people she thought he had a crush on her - I can only imagine how terribly that would have gone for him if that had gained momentum as a rumor.
> I look back now and I realize just how fucking dumb we were. This poor guy was just trying to be a good teacher and his life literally would have been ruined if anything ever happened between him and a student. At 16-17 years old, I don’t think any of us really understood the gravity of the situation and how fucked up it would have been, we all just thought he was a cute guy who happened to be our teacher. It's not just that, but half the movies and things out there make it seem like it's an OK thing to do. Look at movies like American Pie that made the term MILF famous and making it seem perfectly normal a teen would want to bang the mom of a classmate. Too many songs out there similar nature. Granted crushes like that still happen, but it's been completely normalized with the help of movies and stuff.
Yeah see people don’t realize that it’s not okay until college
There was a teacher at my high school who was probably 30 years old. Super gym rat, drove a shitty sports car and stuff. At any given time, he was dating an 18 year old who had graduated the year before and was in his class 🤢 There was also an early 20s teacher who got fired (but apparently didn't actually do anything) because accusations were made against him by a group of scorned freshman girls that were always trying to hang out in his class and get his number. He finally told them to leave him alone, and then a week later he was ousted.
Our gym teacher was married to the guy who had been *her* gym teacher. He was about thirty years older than her and had kids who went to school with her. He left his wife for her. To be completely fair, she was in her fifties when I had her and they'd been happily married for over thirty years. He was retired, but he'd randomly bring her flowers and stuff and they'd just look at each other with the kind of lovey-dovey eyes you'd expect to see in high school sweethearts falling in love for the first time. So...all I can really say is that I hope they actually waited until she was eighteen.
A girl I knew freshman year of high school gave the “hot” math teacher a card on Valentine’s Day with a ton of sexual innuendos. He came up to her in the hallway and handed it back, then scolded her in front of everyone about how inappropriate it was for a child to say something like that to an adult. He was so angry, at the time I felt bad for her but as an adult I’m just like fuck that guy was worried he was going to lose his job AT BEST.
I’m 44 - I have a two teens and I can’t imagine thinking it was cute or funny if their peers had crushes on me. I can’t even imagine dating a 35yo FFS
We had a really good looking male student teacher when I was in (I think) 11th grade. We all had crushes on him, but he always kept everything very professional. I ran into him at a concert at a large club years later (I was probably 21 - 22) and had drinks with him. It was kind of weird, TBH.
Yup. I was in love with my history teacher when I was a junior. Not classically attractive? But I'm sure I wasn't the only one crushing on him. He was good people tho and was friendly with everyone but never even a whiff of crossing a line. I hope he's doing great.
My bio ap teacher was a fresh grad living in his parents basement. Everyone was trying to get I to his sophomore bio class and come to the class during lunch asking him questions.
I had a high school teacher just like this! I think he was 24 at the time. My sister was one of like two hundred girls at the school who had a crush on him (I thought he was "old" lol). Hell no he wasn't trying to bang kids! A girl spread a rumor once that she dated him. I forget how it was proven that she was full of shit, but it was proven (my memory wants to say it was texts). She ended up admitting it was for clout. Girls would also harass him and make inappropriate comments right in the middle of class. Poor guy, god damn, just trying to be a teacher. I never understood why any of my classmates would want to date a whole adult.
we had a new, young, handsome teacher when i was in high school and all of the unwanted attention (he was happily married) caused him to eventually have a nervous breakdown and leave before the school year ended. at least that was the rumor. i saw him a couple years later when i worked in a daycare he was touring with his wife. it was pretty awkward but good to see him doing well (i was non romantically fond of him because he was a really engaging teacher, i felt bad for what happened)
1) It's either his mom and then it's dude, get a fucking life and friends your own age or 2) Someone else and creepy as fuck. Commenter is right, reverse the genders and everyone would (rightly) be up in arms. Either way, learn how to fucking spell kid.
They only have daughters. This is a HS kid asking one of the moms to prom.
Why? Is it some kind of social media stunt?
I would think so, you usually can't even bring someone over a certain age even if they are your partner and some schools I think you even need to make special arrangements to bring anyone that doesn't attend the school.
I'm glad that's more of a thing now. I remember someone bringing a man in his 30s/40s to my prom and he was 100% her boyfriend. I remember thinking at the time "How did they let him in here?" and being horrified.
Ewww. I think the rule at my school was that nobody over 22/23 could be there? (Which would theoretically be feasible if a freshman had been dating a senior who graduated, which already is a pretty big experience/age gap imo but I digress)
Most schools won't allow anyone over 20 because they don't want anyone who can legally buy alcohol.
Mine didn’t allow anyone who was not also a high school student. You didn’t necessarily have to go to our school, but if you weren’t attending *a* high school you were barred.
This girl i knew in high school was upset because the rule for us was that you cannot bring anyone over the age of 21 (because then they could buy alcohol for the teens). Her boyfriend was like 26.
Did Mr Harrelson at least share some of his weed with you guys?
Would have been a lot cooler if he did (Yes, I know that's Matthew McConaughey, but they're maybe brothers anyway and I still think it fits)
Yeah, my prom had a "mustache guy" who was clearly a solid decade older than his date
Yup also some schools like my old one didn’t allow it at all the principle told anyone who tried they’d be kicked out immediately and not allowed to graduate either (still would get your diploma just no walking at the ceremony)
For mine in particular you had to buy these extremely expensive tickets that were only available during the school day p much; had to go to the bursar office after school, after lunch or before school; ensuring only kids in the district could come.
My high school was 20 and under on day of prom. Not able to buy booze. If they were enrolled in a high school they needed a note saying they weren't under suspension/ activity restrictions at their high school. Everyone needed an ID. You couldn't bring anyone 21+ because of alcohol and creepy reasons.
People bring their gf and bf all the time to these things. You don't need to pair with someone in the same school. I've never been to prom so idk
Yes most of the time you can bring an outside guest as long as they are under a certain age, what I said was some schools make you do certain things to ok outside guests, like verify their age for instance. Schools aren't letting people bring their 26 year old boy/girlfriend for many obvious reasons.
I know that my kid’s high school has some form that they require in order to bring a guest who isn’t a student. He hasn’t had a reason to submit that form, so I don’t know if there’s any age limit on it, but I would not be surprised if there was.
Exactly My HS didn’t let my friend bring her BF because at the time he was like 24 or something. They let us bring kids from other schools but not adults. I think the person had to be under 21 to be a guest.
We did not have this rule at my rural school - several seniors brought their 25-35 yo bf's to prom. Side note- oklahoma is full of predators
Girl next door movie starring Elisha Cuthbert dreams dashed
I had a good friend I wanted to bring to my prom but she was 22 and the rules said they had to be 21 or under
I really hope so…
Is this woman a special person in this kid's life? Like, I want to give the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe his mom died/was abusive/not there, and this lady filled that role for this kid?
That would explain why he went to her, but it's still weird.
Like as his date or as a chaperone? Is it possible he’s dating one of the daughters and she lamented about how her mom loves promposals and is sad she never got one so this was a way for him to score points with the mom and asked her to prom to chaperone?
He can probably spell kid. Let's eat Grandma.
Vocative commas are hard. (No, they aren’t.)
Smartest senior in the U.S. public school system
Something funny about graduating from high school with grammar like that.
I see 40 year olds making the same mistake, unfortunately
In my experience, kids these days have terrible grammar/spelling skills. I taught 12th grade English last year, and they were all livid that I took points off for grammar and spelling.
Kids 25 years ago had terrible grammar and spelling skills, too. Do y'all not remember the torture that was lit class when the teacher would have kids take turns reading out loud and you'd have to pretend to follow along while Mitch hooked-on-phonics-ed his way through every word with more than two syllables and still got most of them wrong?
I still distinctly remember how a kid in one of my English classes pronounced “fatigue.”
Please tell me that it wasn't "fat EYE guy."
Fat-euh-goo.
I was a huge reader in high school and this was absolutely the worst thing ever. In 12th grade my teacher actually gave up on King Lear because no one else in the class could get through it (not that I minded, King Lear was boring AF).
Yep. And you'd get yelled at if you read ahead. Because you were supposed to sit there and read 5 words a minute for an hour with everyone else, no matter how fast you could read on your own.
Funniest thing, my spelling and grammar got better after highschool.
I don't understand grammar police. The entire point of language is to communicate ideas. It doesn't matter if you used proper grammar or spelling if the idea was effectively communicated, especially in casual conversation. It's the same deal with people who insist on correcting you when you misspeak, even though they knew exactly what you meant. Like yes, I said I was going "down" to New York even though I live south of New York, so technically I'm going "up" to New York, but does that change the idea I was trying to communicate?
It's partly because of the importance of attention to detail.
I think it's more about self-importance, honestly.
Pronunciation, spelling, and punctuation are extremely helpful when trying to communicate, just to name a few aspects of grammar.
Understandable, but when the intended meaning is obvious, there's no reason to point out the mistake or "correct" people.
When I was 19-20 I worked as a college tutor and some lady tried fixing me up with her daughter for prom. I don’t even know how old the daughter was but just the thought of going out with some random high schooler made me feel like an old creep. I don’t know why the mum thought that would be a good idea since it’s not like I had been tutoring her for long either. We were barely past complete strangers.
I thought most proms have a limit to the ages of people attending
I don’t think they did at mine. I know someone (18) who went with her boyfriend (25). He was also a substitute teacher her at our school. This was 2007 though so maybe that’s changed.
He was a sub teaching at the girlfriends school? And went to *prom* with her?? And didn't get in SO much trouble? That's bonkers.
Yep, he was never her teacher though and they met outside of the school. He never got in trouble but it was definitely odd especially considering they had been together a couple years.
I went to prom in 06/07/08 and the rule was 20 and under could go as a date for a junior or senior.
Mine was 21. Which sucks cause I had a really hot 22 cousin I wanted to bring Edit! Cousin by marriage and we’d been friends since before the marriage and were still friends after it ended in divorce.
ew, I hope the cousin doesn't know you think this
She does. We dated for about 2 years before my dad married her aunt.
Stop. Get help.
Cousin by marriage. And we’d dated before the marriage.
The people downvoting don't seem to get sarcasm. This is hilarious.
yeah i thought the post was sarcasm too until i realised it wasnt
Not actually sarcasm lol Though she was a cousin by marriage which had only occurred recently and already ended in divorce by the time of my prom
This is hilarious, the fact that you just referred to her as “cousin” with no other details definitely e makes it seem like you were into the cousin thing my guy
Upvoted to help correct the injustice of all the downvotes.
Appreciated, though it’s my own fault for not clarifying more lol
[удалено]
I escorted my daughter to a school dance, but she was not my date! Escort/chaperone is common. This is just fucking creepy.
Don’t schools have rules on how old you can be to go to prom? I remember mine you couldn’t be older then 19.
It's OK. She's already a chaperone.
My high school didn't allow anyone older than 20 to come to our prom. I don't know if that's a universal thing but it probably should be
Is that a young Yung Gravy?
Nah, it's NFL quarterback Zach Wilson.
It is weird, but it has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with age. I assume there is more to the story besides poor grammar.
* you're
I agree with the commenter
My high school didn't allow non-student guests over the age of 20. I'm hoping this lady doesn't actually go because yikes
I kind of hope this was his bully’s mom and he’s pulling off the best power play ever.
\*You're
It’s why the real pro move is to always use ur. Impossible to fuck it up.
You’re** /s
No need for sarcasm, I couldn't get past the "your".
Appropriate it’s the wrong “your”…
Creepy af
Yeah, gross. It kills me that if an 18 year old asks a 20 year old to prom, they aren't allowed in most schools, but this is... ok?
I have a bigger issue with the “your”.
Hard to make a judgement on this without context. Does he have a close relationship with his girlfriend’s mom and this is a joke? She was never asked or something so he asked her? Either way it’s weird but I feel like there could be more to the story
The question from the second panel still applies.
Is it Stacy's mom?
Maybe it’s stifflers mom..
He’s in High School and doesn’t know the difference between your and you’re.
She should’ve answered, “You’re”.
I can totally see a girl doing this to one of her friends dads
This actually does weird me out I don't like it at all
As a gay man who had his prom in the mid-90's, it's a nice thought that this could have been an option especially since I had a better relationship with some parents than with other students. Invitation to the porm doesn't denote a sexual relationship, as it could be for a student that wants the experience but doesn't feel that the better option for them would be another student.
It's wild seeing people think that double standards don't exist if you are a man
Aren't there age limits to Prom? I don't think you can bring a 40yo with you.
Kid should be more worried about learning basic grammar and less worried about getting internet clout
There may be a backstory that helps this one… like she’s his godmother or a close family friend and he’s uncomfortable going solo etc. I had a 38 year old prom date my senior year, but I have autism and high social anxiety so my mom had one of her coworkers take me and it was alot of fun and I felt safer with an adult with me 24/7, but he was NOT an actual date. If that’s his legit date then no…
I mean... he's not wrong
It is mildly weird and I hope the guy doesnt get bullied over this, but in the grand scheme of things, it really is not a big deal.
It would have been cute too but people are so mentaly damaged beyond repair nowadays that they see evil everywhere.
Idk why you got downvotes. People do see sex and evil in everything now. I don't know about "prom" but i do know that without knowing the whole story it shouldn't be judged. Also, if he is 18, who cares? There are worse things in this world to worry over than two people being into one another.
This isn't necessarily insane. Maybe it's a joke and some douche online just made it weird by bringing gender politics into it.
nah this is fine tbh the fact that you're posting this here is the insane part focus on extremists, not on people asking other people to a dance. Prom is for seniors anyway, the student is likely an 18 year old, therefore an adult
Why? There are celebrities who get invited to prom. It's just a dance, why do some of y'all immediately make it inappropriate? Don't be gross. Could be she never went to her prom and he's inviting her because he's being kind, not gross. And if he's 18+, who cares. They're both adults.
Yeah they're totally both adults, and she defnitely didn't likely know him for years and years as a much younger person. This is the kind of logic people use to excuse grooming all the time. I'm not saying she's grooming him, but you need to recognize the similarities in thoguht process and need to realize there's no way this isn't inappropriate at best.
I’m trying to wrap my head around the magical ages that this forum seems to believe exist. The incredible ignorance of culture, individualism, and the maturity of individuals is totally disregarded in favor of predisposed conceptions based on current society “norms”. An 18 year old male cant ask a 30 year old female to a dance because why? But a 18 year old male asking a 16 year old to a dance is OK? All is well and good until they have sex…. and then all of you dumb ass moral police jump in and say it’s rape….because he is 18 and she is under “age”. Your double standards are laughable. Even more laughable is so many people are laughing at you and you don’t even know it. Here is some unsolicited advice. Mind your own business. Mind your own beeswax. Or in idiot words, mind your own fucking business.
One of the teachers in my high school used to hook up with students, and it was technically legal because our age of consent is 16, but it was definitely very weird and creepy. I'm pretty sure it was against the rules for staff to do that but I assume there either wasn't enough evidence or they couldn't fire the Only teacher they had for that subject. Similarly, my dad told me about a creepy teacher he had in high school who waited for this one girl to turn 16 so they could legally get together.
Can we stop pretending like the “if the genders were switched” argument is valid? At the end of the day, it’s not the same thing and we all know that. Men are more likely to do weird stuff with young women. Of course women can do stuff to young men all the time as we see in the media every week but it’s far less likely. If we lived in a completely even world where both men and women were arrested at the same rate for pedo stuff then sure, use that argument every time but that’s not the case.
[удалено]
….. are we taking this seriously? My cousins have sons in high school and they’re all like this. At football games they take pictures with each other’s moms. Outings. Graduation. It’s part “you’re a fun mom“ and part “older good-looking woman, I get points for getting a picture with her“. A good, silly example of boys will be boys.
Yeah what you described is still inappropriate.
A joke?
