Tis' the time of year again - school formal season. It is a rite of passage for most high schoolies, something to get very excited about. It might be a memorable experience for some but to others it may be an anti-climax or leave an unpleasant after taste.
An occasion to parade one's best, one could certainly find something to suit the budget from retail stores having pre-festive discounts, factory outlets, warehouse clearance and seconds stores in Australia.
The formal proper is usually supervised closely by teachers. But parents should monitor if their children participate in after party celebrations. It's during such overruns that teens become more laxed, mixing alcohol and sometimes drugs at their private parties.
The main purpose of a formal which is to meet up with friends and have a wonderful evening, not to be overshadowed by superficial and ostentatious display. I heard that primary school proms showcase entourage making a grand entrance from their limos and Harley Davidson. Wow! Kids nowadays are pampered and spoilt to the hilt.
At the other extreme, however, there are a minority who would prefer to stay home and give the fanfare a miss.
