Should Christian teens go to Prom?
363836
Not attending your prom because you feel that the temptation to "misbehave" will be too great is giving in to the worst sort of fear, fear of yourself.\n\nThe truth is that if you can't handle behaving yourself at prom, how can you ever hope to act when you're old enough to go out and rent a car, get drunk, and drive over people? See? Once you start drawing lines like that it's hard to stop until you're living locked up in your house.\n\nTemptation is a part of life for everyone, not just Christians. However, most of us are able to control ourselves. Have faith in *yourself* and have a good time.

Yes, of course. I am willing to wait until I get married. A lot of my friends have lost their virginity two years ago or when we were 14/15/16 and they definitely regretted it. I told them not to but they didn't listen. But I guess it's just that most teenagers just do it to express themselves or release anger/frustration/sadness/whatever and they don't care what they are doing anymore.

Good question:  What we have now is a variety of religions in the U.S. and everyone wants their religion in the schools.  It has created a problem and the Govt. has gone completely atheist.  (no God in the Govt.)  Anyway I think all christian children should go to Christian schools.  It cost me a bundle to do it with mine, and it was worth it.  The public school is not neutral, but really anti Christian and a hard place for a Christian.  Pray about going to a Christian school.  Maybe someone would sponsor you for that.  Pray about it.

Wow, that's a serious question.  My children are attending a Christian school.  I am a teacher at a public school.  I chose the Christian school for my boys because I wanted them to learn and maintain a "value system" based on what Christians believe to be "right or wrong" vs "rules enforced in public education."  I believe that when you choose to teach ANYWHERE you are held to a "high moral standard".  That standard is even higher at a Christian school.  Children learn what they live.  Children establish values and tools to make decisions by their everyday experiences.  Since this is  Christian school you speak of, I do not think the teacher should be re-hired. \n1) she broke a commandment.\n2) those commandments are being taught at that school everyday\n3) the children need positive Christian role models \n4) those role models should not be preaching one thing and living another...\n5) the parents are paying alot of money to bring their children up in a Christian environment surrounded by Christian teachers \n\nGod is a forgiving God and has already forgiven this teacher.  We are all human and make mistakes.  However, to continue to have an affair (even to see the man a second time) is choosing to turn her back on her Christian beliefs.  There is a difference between a "mistake" and "continued adultry."  Therefore, this teacher needs to try and be re-hired in a different school..and hopefully learn from her mistakes.

be front about it, and get the ball rolling. if its to hard, try it over the phone instead of in person. or be romantic about it. my current boyfriend started things up with me by asking me to prom. in each class that i went to during the course of the day, he left an envelope with some cut up pieces of paper. at the end of the day, i put the pieces of paper together, and it turns out it was a puzzle, which read "will you go to prom with me?" and on the envelope it said to meet him at a certain time, so i did, with my own envelope with a puzzled 'yes' in it. it was really sweet. of course, in your situation, mold it so that the envelopes follow her daily schedule.

Just take it one step at a time.  Does she know you love her yet?  If not, tell her you know you've made some mistakes but you have a great time with her, and you'd be honored to take her to the prom.\n\nIf she does know your feelings, now is the time to reiterate them when you ask her to the prom.  \n\nGood luck!

no, i don't think it's ok. i'm a Christian too, and i have made a list of my standards and what i want in my guy, u should make one too! but like u said, ur not gonna marry him ever and do u think he wants u to date him jus cuz ur bored? also u said u don't want to get sidetracked from God, that's why u wouldn't marry him(or another non-Christian) so what, he's not gonna sidetrack u jus cuz ur dating him? i think he would sidetrack u! and u r only 15, u still have plenty of time to date and find the right (Chritian) one!\n but also think about this, if this guy is so great, what is the guy that God has for u gonna b like? he's going to b even BETTER!!! so keep holding out for the right guy! good luck!

You should go anyway. Plus you will met new friends and have a great time. When I went to church camp i was friends with almost everyone there and I had so much fun that I was sad to go home. Just because your friends from home aren't goin doesn't mean you wont have friends there.

I think it depends on who ask who. If you ask a guy, you should be willing to pay for the ride. Or maybe you should just drive mom or dads car to save money. The prom is not that big of a deal. It is life after high school that is the real deal. He might not have the funds for a limo. Don't put him on the spot.

i say go and ask her. prom doesn't always have to be some crazy romantic event. i went with my bf but before he was my bf he was my best friend. we had a blast because we were friends first there wasn't pressure to "do things" or stupid stuff like that. i think if you go with ur best friend, ull have a great time!

well i think maybe you should ask him but if he says no and it is not a good idea  then just take it in and dont cry but life will go on or maybe you can just go do sommin that night with him if he does not want o go to the dance but i would go to prom cause this is your last prom and you will have memories about it later in life i hope i helped you bye bye

Adriana has given you excellent advice.  I agree.  Try talking to her in person.  You might bring her a rose on that meeting and tell her that you would be honored if she would be your date for the prom.  That should wow her.  Then talk to her about the fact that you believed she had a boyfriend.  Good luck!  (maybe you could let us all know if she accepted!)

Prom is a party for students in 11th or 12th grade.  It varies with schools and only students are invited.

That would be awesome!  I wished my parents would of given me a Sweet Sixteen party to have a dance with my dad.  I invited my parents to my Sr. Prom, and my dad had a special dance with me.  It was great and very memory.  So, YES, it is ok.  GO FOR IT!!

In my senior year I had no intention of going to the prom it just wasn't my thing, but a girl I knew asked me and it turned out to be a fun evening.  If the boy is shy I am sure he will appreciate you asking him out.
