sry this is late i haven’t been on tumblr in so long and just saw everyone talking ab it 😭 but to add onto the last australian anon ,, idk if it’s different for diff states or just diff schools ?? but we had diff events for the year 10 11 and 12s,, like in yr 10 it’s smth slightly fancy just as like ? a treat ig ? and as u get to yr 11 it gets more fancy and then by yr 12 we have the ball which is where everyone gets dates and has their makeup and hair done professionally and whatever. and then only for the ball some kids will hold an afterparty at someone’s house or some warehouse or smth where everyone gets drunk n what not HAHAH like in yr 10 we had a yacht party and then yr 11 we went to some like fancy venue for a dinner. and then for the yr 12 ball most schools will rent out a hotel event room or smth to hold it in HAHAH

in scotland we have a thing called the senior ball which happens once a year. the two oldest years get to go, we don’t really bring dates or stuff like that. and the school rents out a venue and we get a fancy meal and champagne, after we just dance or sit at our tables and chat, we don’t have stuff like prom king/queen. then there’s usually an “after party” but it’s just everyone getting drunk in fields.

In Canada, where I am, we have "Grad" so it's just for Grade 12s when they graduate. We have our graduation ceremony on a Sat morning, which is actually like three weeks before we're actually done school. Then that night we get dressed up in big dresses and suits and stuff and we had "Grad March" where we literally walk around in our hometown stadium and show off our outfits to people/our families. Then there's a dance and our year we had superlative awards and a dinner. You can bring a date to the dinner. Thank God I didn't end up marrying the boy I went with when I was 18, cause the pictures make me cringe (I can tell you that story another time if you're interested).

alajshf where i’m from, we have prom in 10th and 11th grade! i only went during my 10th grade one, and it was pretty fun i went without a date bc im lonely aksjdhf but i was with my friends so it was a whole lot more exciting! our batchmates went to a bar after but my friends and i went to starbucks then to our hotel room to watch vines until like five in the morning 🤧

High school prom is just a dance, the qay i can explain it is, well for my school only seniors go, for queen and king they do vote for the candidates now that im not sure how those are picked. Then if its crappy or not it depends on the school and people.....from what i know i forgot other questions you asked
