If you've dealt with the amount of rejection and heartbreak the average person experiences by the time he or she is considered "grown up," it's funny to think about how incredibly stressful prom season can be for high schoolers who are still learning to cope with the cold reality of life.
Right now, millions of teenagers around the country are perpetually stressed about whether or not they'll be able to overcome their awkwardness and somehow make it through an entire night without doing something that will still manage to give them anxiety when they randomly remember it a decade after it happens.
If my personal experience is any indication, they probably won't.
Prom night is filled with potentially terrifying moments, but random boners and unexpected slow dances have nothing on one of the most stressful things a guy will be forced to face over the course of the night: meeting his date's dad.
