The only family I know who did it was admitted to Alabama. Enough said.

This is why I like DCUM. My people. Everyone reacting with disgust. Rightly so!

Nice performance, especially the denouement. You should wear goggles next time.

A "homecoming Mum?"



WTF?? And WHY?
Yeah, wtf is that? I know I can google, but I like the person I am without knowing what this is.


Oh, it's so much worse that I imagined. My eyes

You could generate any of these photos using AI in about 3 seconds. (However, I wouldn’t recommend it).

I don’t know any first gen families who have done this. The ones that show up on my feed are UMC. Some public school kids and some private school kids. I also see a trend where parents post photos of kids wearing cowboy boots and hats as an announcement for Texas and other southern schools. That feels a little cringey too.


The bed party that has shown up in my social feed is from a very wealthy family in Palm Beach. Daughter is going to Alabama. That came with requests (from the mother) for recommendation letters to various sororities. It’s a different world!

Wow. I had absolutely no idea kids actually do this! It's a social media photo shoot.

I hate these, and it's a reflection of materialism, over-consumption, me-me-me attitudes, and life is only lived well if on social media. I HATE BED PARTIES. THEY ARE A WASTE OF MONEY AND SPOIL YOUR UMC KIDS.
