Porn Dates for Prom Stars

Prom is the culmination of high school, the most romantic night of a teenager’s life. And it certainly seems to be heading in that direction, for Mike Stone anyway, who got a double-date with porn stars Emy Reyes and Megan Piper.
Unfortunately for him, the superintendent, Patty Philips, said no porn stars are allowed to attend Prom, and, frankly, that may have been the best decision.
However, bringing two porn stars doesn’t really affect Prom as long as clothes stay on; it’s the idea that someone can do what they want without consequences.
To get Reyes and Piper to join him at Prom, Stone was perfectly content raising the money to pay $400 each for the girls’ airfare. For most realistic high schoolers, that $800 would have been a nice investment into our college funds. Dropping all that money for one night and paying for prom tickets? Not reasonable.
Even if he does have enough money, bringing porn stars is slightly inconsiderate towards the school. Maybe the girls aren’t porn stars by choice, but judgment is inevitable. Bringing them to Prom implies that the school is okay with the porn star’s behavior.
On top of that, Stone did not even bother telling his parents right away. With a large plan like that, it’s always wiser to have parents’ support.
The whole thing smells like someone trying to show off how much power and money they have. That’s not respectable. Period.
Anyway, a ruined Prom is not the end of the world. You have your whole life ahead of you, Stone. That’s something to look forward to.
