Prom
can
be
one
of
the
most
important
events
in
your
high
school
experience
--
it
is
a
special
night
to
look
forward
to.
There
are
so
many
details
to
consider
when
planning
your
prom.
Dress,
tux,
tickets,
flowers,
earrings,
hair
and
nail
appointments,
dinner
plans
and,
of
course,
a
location
where
everyone
will
meet
for
pictures.
This
is
night
that
you
will
never
want
to
forget
and
every
detail
will
be
well
thought
out.
Unfortunately,
one
thing
many
of
us
forget
to
plan
for
is
the
safety
of
our
friends
and
the
safety
of
ourselves.
Many
people
feel
pressure
from
their
friends
to
drink
or
do
drugs
on
prom
night.
It
is
no
secret
that
drugs
and
alcohol
impair
judgment
and
can
seriously
hurt
you
or
your
friends.
Quite
simply,
underage
drinking
and
drugs
are
illegal
--
and
the
last
place
you'll
want
to
spend
prom
night
is
in
an
emergency
room
or
lock
up
center!
While
making
your
prom
plans,
take
a
minute
to
think
about
how
you'll
avoid
getting
into
an
unwanted
situation.
By
having
a
plan,
you
will
feel
more
confident
and
in
control
if
the
unexpected
arises.
Be
sure
you
have
a
safe
ride
home,
whether
it's
from
a
friend,
sibling,
parent
or
maybe
even
a
rented
limo.
It's
also
a
good
idea
to
bring
along
extra
money
in
the
event
you
have
to
opt
|
|
for
a cab,
and
don't
forget
to
bring
a
cell
phone
in
case
you
end
up
in
a
situation
that
compromises
your
safety.
Be
prepared
and
be
a
leader!
Making
positive
decisions
is
important.
In
fact,
if
you
educate
your
friends
and
help
them
understand
the
consequences
and
dangers
of
underage
drinking,
drug
usage,
and
driving
under
the
influence,
it
will
be
easier
for
you
all
to
say
"No".
You
will
not
be
alone
--
there
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
students
nation-wide
who
are
choosing
to
celebrate
prom
and
graduation
substance-free.
SADD,
Students
Against
Destructive
Decisions,
advocates
peer-to-peer
education
and
support.
Students
across
the
country
are
demonstrating
their
leadership
and
keeping
their
schools
and
communities
safe.
You
have
so
much
to
look
forward
to
--
envision
your
future!
Prom
can
be
an
amazing
experience,
but
there
will
be
an
abundance
of
other
life-defining
events
as
well.
Don't
let
anyone
use
prom
night
to
pressure
you
into
drinking,
taking
drugs,
or
doing
anything
else
you
don't
want
to
do.
It's
your
prom;
make
the
memories
yours
and
enjoy
your
night
the
way
YOU
want
to.
