Her Parents Banned Her From Going To Prom As Punishment, But After They Took That Back, She’s Still Not Going Just To Be Spiteful
A 16-year-old girl is currently a junior at her high school, and her prom is happening pretty soon.
Although all of her friends are excited about their upcoming prom, she’s not going to be there, and there’s a lot to unpack surrounding her upcoming lack of attendance.
Recently, she and her parents entered an enormous disagreement over who was supposed to do the dishes one night.
While she had washed all the dishes that day, after she finished up, someone in their household put more dirty dishes in the sink and she didn’t wash them since she had already done so much.
Her parents got angry at her for not washing the additional dirty dishes, and they chose to ban her from going to prom in order to punish her.
“I was upset for a little bit, but then I realized that this was a blessing in disguise as I did not feel like paying hundreds of dollars for a night I would forget about in a week, nor did I like going out to dances and the entire atmosphere of school dances,” she explained.
“After all, there are many opportunities in the future to get dolled up and eat a salmon dinner, without the price tag, nor the pressure to make prom night “a night to remember.” After this epiphany, I was no longer upset.”
Well, right after she got banned from going to prom and realized that she didn’t actually care about her punishment, her 4 friends asked her if she would like to go shopping for her prom dress with them.
Her friends invited her over text message, which her mom and dad saw come up on her phone. Her parents then questioned her if she was going shopping with her friends.

She told her mom and dad that she was not going to shop for her prom dress with her friends since they banned her from going to prom in the first place.
Her mom and dad then revealed to her that they were going to take back that punishment they had doled out, as they thought prom was a major milestone and something she should get to do.
She let her mom and dad know that she actually didn’t want to go anymore and they were not happy to hear that.
“The next day, I told my friends that I wasn’t going to attend prom, they all were upset that I wasn’t attending out of spite,” she said.
“Everyone is upset at this decision, and frankly, I know I am not going to go at all, but a tiny part of me feels bad now.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to no longer want to attend prom just to be spiteful. What do you think?
