Prom is a night to remember for most teenage students. However, remember that many students suffer from peer pressure more than usual on this night.  What follows is a list of tips on how you can avoid doing things you don’t want to do or will regret later on prom night.

  1. Have a safe and reliable driver determined before you leave the house
  2. Have your ID with you
  3. Go to responsible after-parties
  4. Do not show up to prom with anything that is not permitted on school grounds
  5. Have a back-up ride planned just in case
  6. PROTECT yourself:  if you have to question whether it is safe or not, it probably isn’t
  7. Bring an extra pair of shoes/clothes
  8.  Don’t be afraid to call a parent/friend or sibling if you find yourself in a tough spot
