[quote=Anonymous]It's 100 percent social media. This is supported by the fact that even in schools where they've done away with the dance (Whitman being my example), the kids (supported by parents) have organized into groups to get the photos. Photo taking is the main portion of the agenda. They're going to multiple places to do it. I'm not necessarily saying this is wrong - in pre-social media times getting photos was still a thing. Parents would take photos before kids left, and there was always a photo booth at the dance. But, it seems the dance - i.e., the event - was secondary. As a parent who wasn't into this when I was a teen, it's a bit frustrating (and expensive). Sigh. And - it's very clear that a large part of it is the drinking. I think some parents are clueless, and some turn a blind eye. But it's happening.[/quote]
