Prom Fever in The UK
In America the prom is the highlight of most kid’s high school years. A magical night where everyone gets to get all decked out and dance the night away, and it’s been a huge deal for a long time now. The UK has experienced a huge fascination and implementation of their own proms.

Still many insist that it’s all in good fun, so people should just relax and let the kids have fun.
