    I'm Really Proud of my 17 year old Daughter

    Tonight is the Senior Prom. My Senior daughter was even asked to Prom activities by the object of her desire, Marlon. She bought the $$$ prom dress and $$shoes, and planned every detail with their group of friends. With a week to go Marlon bailed on her, leaving her distressed and anguished for a couple of days.

    Tonight she got all dressed up, looked beautiful, and with her head held high, she went to the prom unescorted, but with a fun group of kids. She took it on the chin, but got up, and was making the best of it. I'm really proud of her.

    If any of you guys have a son going to BYUI this fall, I've got a keeper who can hold her own with anyone.

    Great story; thanks for sharing. Marlon sounds like a real POS.

    Here is the lesson to her from this experience: Go to college to get the degree and perhaps qualify for a strong graduate or professional program. Meanwhile, don't get married. You can't count on a man to take care of you.

      I agree 110%. She got a perfect 36 on her ACT for English/Reading Comprehension, I think she'd make a great accountant.

        I second that. I tell my daughters to get as much education as possible. Education is something that not even death can't take away from them.

        As for Marion (I assume you are using his real first name), if one of my daughters starts dating a guy with this name I will be contacting you privately. We fathers need to establish a database about guys that are not nice to girls so we can scare them back to hell if they start dating one of our daughters.

        It sounds like your daughter will do great. Good for her.

          Good for her. A good self esteem will take you a long ways in life and sounds like she has one.

          As for Marlon, what a dud. I will add this Caveat. You didn't mention why Marlon backed out. Unless it is something equivalent to having his nuts shot off in a hunting accident, I stand by my dud statement.

            What a chump. Sounds like he's missing out. Of all the lame things to do in high school, ditching a date for a formal is about the lamest.

              Good for your daughter. Not only is she strong and resilient, but she's smart too.

              Marlon, OTH, is a punk.

                  going Stag is a great choice. Our daughter's was last night too and she had a date but nothing went well and she didn't have a good time. Same with Mormal.

                    Yeah? Did he go with someone else?

                      "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                        Clack I've got my oldest that will be just back from his mission and starting up there in the fall. He's a tall good looking kid that want's to go into the medical field. I've told him he can't get married until he's at least twenty seven so she will have to be patient.

                          No he did not go with anyone else. I've never been told the whole story, but I offered my daughter that I'd pay for the evening, and supply the transportation if that was the issue. There was more to the story, and it was one of those moments where I knew to keep my nose out of it.
