Prom
What Experts Say
Going to the prom can be a very exciting time for teenagers -- and you. (Unless, of course, your teen has trouble finding just the right dress or date.) You can probably recall what you wore to your prom, who you went with, and all of the picture-snapping at your parents' house when your date arrived to pick you up -- and now you're the one taking the photos.
But there are other ways to get involved besides dress or tux shopping with your teen. You can help organize pre- and post-prom activities, and chaperoning. You and your teen can work together to ensure that everyone is safe on prom night.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) offers suggestions to stay safe, such as having plans set for where she's going before and after prom, and ensuring that she has enough money should there be a problem with a driver.
Before the big day, talk to her about any concerns you might have, especially those related to pressures to drink or have sex on prom night. Communication and supervision are key for having a fun, safe prom.
