Prom - 2013

they way i asked my girl was in school. i had her called down to the principal's office. when she got there, i was sitting in the principals chair, turned around. full suit on, flowers in my hand, and a prom sign in the other. when she knocked on the door, i said come in. then she sat down, and i turned around. she cried for a little while, and said yes through the tears. it was awesome. my principal is such a g for letting me do that. hahah great day

I wish I had your principle

Actually, the main reason why I'm not going is because I'm broke as fuck and don't have the money to drop on some piece of ass, you feel?

Plus I scare every girl I cross paths with because I'm a lion.

Im actually really excited for this.

The U.S. Supreme Court deemed segregated public schools unconstitutional in 1954, but the spirit of that ruling appears to have been lost in time in the tiny South Georgia town on Rochelle.

Students and parents are once again organizing separate proms for the high school's black and white students.

"We're embarrassed; it's embarrassing," white high school senior Stephanie Sinnot told WGXA-TV, the ABC News affiliate in Macon, Ga.

So a biracial group of four best friends who attend Wilcox County High School have set out to change history, raising money to host an integrated prom in the town of nearly 1,200 people, about 51 percent of them white, 46 percent black, according to census figures.

Stephanie says she does everything with her three best friends, two of whom are black. "That's just kind of not right that we can't go to prom together," she said.

Senior Keela Bloodworth, another organizer of the integrated prom effort who's white, said her black friends wouldn't dare come to the other dance.

"They would probably have the police come out there and escort them off the premises," Bloodworth told WGXA.

It's not just the school prom that's segregated. Homecoming falls into the same pattern, featuring two separate dances. Senior Quanesha Wallace, a black student, was elected homecoming queen this year and a white student was voted homecoming king. But the two students attended separate homecoming dances.

The district hasn't paid for a prom in 30 years, leaving the planning up to student groups that are free to organize them as they wish, Wilcox County Schools Superintendent Steve Smith told ABC News.

Smith says that when the group of female students approached the Board of Education this time around about hosting an integrated prom, the district applauded their idea and even passed a resolution advocating that all activities involving students be inclusive and non-discriminatory.

"I fully support these ladies, and I consider it an embarrassment to our schools and community that these events have been segregated," Smith said. "Skin color seems to be a much larger issue for the adults than the students, and my prayer is that this effort will be a huge step toward reconciling the wrongs of the past."

Although the school district has been supportive, it hasn't offered to pay for the integrated prom. The students have set up a Facebook page asking the public for donations, but the idea hasn't been well-received by everyone.

"I actually put up posters for the integrated prom and we've had people ripping them down at the school," Keela told WGXA.

Wilcox County High School isn't the only school in Georgia that holds segregated school dances. Nearby Taylor County High School held separate proms until recently, as have a number of other schools located in small rural counties.

The reasoning seems to be same in all the cases: The school districts stopped sponsoring proms and left it up to student groups, which decided to hold separate events.

Not going #yolo

Requesting prom date. Must be a hot female and >16. Must be dtf this is prom who the fuck are you kidding.

Hyped for prom with my amazing girlfriend. Actually hyped for the whole month of June. Hood trip, prom, graduation, then a trip to Hawaii with me and my girl.

thinking about putting a massive P then R and so on on each consecutive stop sign on her way to school super early in the morning then after the M just stand in the middle of the road with a question mark and a flower when I see her car coming

Instead of no she will just run you over.

pics...

Lets just nuke the whole south. Starting with that little town first.

Should've just let them secede when we had the chance

this is incredible. I am now considering asking my principle to let me do this... how did you go about it???

Prom was eh.
I went both years and didnt really care.

They breathalyze at the door in, but not after so my senior was pretty bomb because my group had some flasks and one girl taped 2 bottles of Bacardi to her thighs under her dress

Hey Kody, I'm so stoked that I'm your icon. u da best bbi

Down ass chick that's that shit

No, u da bes. luv u 5eva bbi

5eva? Fuck is this shit for. No! Bad!

aye don't be jealous

You are. (:

Spring casual is coming up. Girls choice and my best friend's (extremely attractive) sister asked me to go with her. What should I do? She's like a sister to me but she's gorgeous. Help!

GTFO with that smiley face, what are you, an 8th grade girl?

i am stealing this idea. this is perfect.

It seemed to serious with out it.

And the problem is she's my best friend's sister. I just don't want to be awkward

My school never had prom. Meh. We barely even had dances and nobody went to those unless you got plastered first.

Woo Canada (or at least where I'm from) no tacky prom stuff.

I guess my school's equivalent is our grad banquet + after grad which is gonna be super sick. Don't really have dates for the whole thing, mainly just when you walk in to banquet you are with someone, pretty sure I know who is going to ask me. Stoked, grad is so freaking close!

do it man, you can dp her with your best friend afterwards.

Everybody is asking girls with candles and shit this year, or a scavenger hunt. I took a girl to dinner then got down on one knee and proposed prom to her.

This. Exactly how mine was.

i went to his office one day and proposed the idea, and he was like sure. i'll be out of my office from at this time, do it then. and then it worked out perfectly

Be a dick.

the dress

that's not what he meant!

this still stand till this day unfortunately

Got it. Rape her, she'll never want to see you again.

Kill her. Now there is a 100% chance you will never see her again.

Then why are you complaining, slay her now and up to prom, ditch her at prom for the other girl, get her after.

Take her skiing, and under the lift in blue pray paint write "PROM?" and pull out flowers from under your coat boom date achieved

I don't wanna go to prom at all but a very attractive softmore (lol ik...) wants me to ask her.

Ask + bone ya kook

prom for me was sick i got to be on court, had a sick after party involving jagemeister and ganja, and made out with this hot brazillian exchange student who is like 2 years older than me. i dont remember to much else

How do I get a random underage highschool ho to bring me to her Prom?

sorry for the bump, what does NS think about asking someone they've never talked to before?

fuck younger girls while you're in high school, then when you graduate they'll ask you because its cool for them to go with a college kid

If you are confident and do it right I'd say you've got a chance, but if you can find a way to talk to her a bit beforehand that can't hurt.

That said, it's still risky so have a backup, but keep in mind that if she hasn't been asked already she probably really wants to go so most of the time they'll say yes

Prom is fucking stupid.
