Senior prom safety tips High
school proms can be very expensive events when you consider the cost of
dresses, tuxedos, tickets, photos, limos, dining, flowers, hair
styling, and manicures. For many parents the biggest concern
isn’t the cost of the prom but worry about risky behaviors of teens
such as drinking and driving, drug use, unsafe sex, and arriving home
safely. Prom night associated news reports include drunk-driving
accidents and deaths, date rape, pregnancies, STDs, where teens display
poor judgement and make dangerous choices. The following tips can help
keep you or your teen safe, lessen the fear and anxiety of prom night
and make the special occasion something to enjoy and remember. Safety checklist: who will drive? Get a list of names and phone numbers and addresses of
each teen rider and their parents. Insist the car radio be set on low
volume, the passenger number be minimized to reduce distraction of the
driver and require that each rider buckle up. get a complete
itinerary of where your teen will be partying, and the addresses and
numbers of the prom location and after-parties. ask for the limo company’s driving record if you rent a limo. arrange specific check-in times with your teen and contact your teen throughout the evening. discuss any difficult situations with your teen and how they plan to
handle them - including situations such as being offered a ride by an
intoxicated driver, an offer of alcohol and drugs, or pressure to have
sex. find out who will supervise the prom and after-parties.
Some parents may allow underage drinking or not monitor teen behavior
the way you would. volunteer to help supervise at the prom and
at after-parties your teen will attend, to insure there are responsible
adults watching over the partygoers.
