[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never went to homecoming.  Only proms.

DS decided not to go this year because he went to his cousin's birthday party instead.  He didn't seem as bothered by the whole thing until some friends pestered him about how he missed out on a "memorable and important" event?  One went as far as insisting he lost a part of his childhood for not going.

Is homecoming really that important in HS?  I don't get it.[/quote]

Your teenaged boy's friends pestered him because he missed out on a "memorable and important" event. Those were their words?

I grew up on LI and I think maybe one football game was called homecoming. It wasn't a social event or if it was for some people, I was not even aware of it. I was a pretty involved student. When I was a senior, they started a "court" where two kids were voted on in each grade. No one cared that much.

Now at that same school, it's a slightly bigger deal (it's also band day) and now includes a pep rally. No dance. I went with my tween, to the game, and it was actually fun. Nothing crazy though.[/quote]
