American parents are accustomed to being treated like human cash machines during prom season, spending close to $1,000 to guarantee that a high school dance doesn't become an emotional catastrophe. A hundred bucks for tickets, and hundreds more for fancy clothes—even the corsage costs $20. And before any of that begins, your kid wants $300 for a promposal. Wait, a what?

my opinion: beta cultivation

or you guys could teach your kids and don't care about it?

where I live there is not such thing as prom, the closest I guess would be a party they do after you end a school cicle and high school cicle, I always find the money required a waste and really most of people there I would be gladly to never see again and i'm not really willing to say otherwise just to not hurt feelings, so **** that noise,

Final paragraph:

As for teenagers wooed with puppies, Beyoncé tickets, and more, planner Glick expects the trend will affect the traditional proposal market in the coming years. “It sets the bar so high for these girls. Where are they going to go from here for their own marriage proposal?”

Everything's changed. Boys fall from their pedestals, the girls learn entitlement, innocence dies. That's how it starts, sir. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns potential alpha... beta.
