Do you think the school prom puts to much pressure on children and parents?
It’s nearly time for the school prom and the hype gets bigger every year. Parents are estimated to be spending up to £90 million pounds a year on stuff for their children’s special prom day. By the time you have suited and booted your son or bought a prom dress for your daughter, and put towards the Limousine and tickets for the event you will probably have spent several hundred pounds.
One mum said she bought her daughter an expensive prom dress, but because of comments made by some of her friends about the dress. She ended up not going.
A retired teacher said that over the years she has seen how many parents try to outdo each other. And the financial strain it puts on some she found it very sad.
