That really is depressing.

That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they'll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.

I hope whatever they were doing didn't take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3

Prom is really not all that special, it's a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college

Well, some people peak in high-school so it depends.

Kid who's already maintaining production software definitely won't peak in high school.

I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about people who put so much importance in prom.
