“THIS BOY! I Was Teary”: Mom Writes Facebook Message Asking Someone to Take Her Daughter To Prom, Teen Boy Steps Up as Her Prince Charming

Prom season has officially arrived—this time, not largely thwarted by the the pandemic that cancelled the landmark event for millions of disappointed teenagers last year. High schools across the country are hosting proms with festive themes, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, and dance-til-ya-drop DJ music.
