Alcohol & other drugs
If you want to look your best for PROM with clear skin, bright eyes, healthy hair, you get the picture, drink more water and dump the alcohol habit. Don’t rely on cover up makeup and Visine. A healthy body and healthy mind are the perfect combination for your best looks.
PROM is such a special night, but getting ready can be very stressful. Minimize the stress by planning ahead and having a schedule. The temptation to drink is always available, but why not plan to keep PROM special and stay sober. Your date would probably appreciate it, you’ll have good memories, and your parents will feel more relaxed. Besides, it’s still illegal to drink when you’re under 21 and why have the stress of maybe getting caught and ruining your night.
However, if your parents allow drinking, or don’t know that you’re drinking or drugging, please do not drive and don’t let any of your friends drive either. Always, always, wear your seat belts, no matter how fancy your clothes are and insist that your friends do too. Don’t be a PROM statistic and have your friends crying over you!
Did you know that it’s illegal for your parents to provide or allow underage drinking at their home or extended home, park, etc? Your parents could be sued for big money if someone gets hurt or suffers property loss because another teen who had been drinking at your house caused the problem. For parents it means paying money, going to court, and extreme stress.
If you need help, please get it. Don’t wait. Here are some resources:
