I want to get a message to the President that he should address the current high school seniors across America. They had their senior year ruined by this virus. My daughter, for example, had her senior prom cancelled 3 hours before it was supposed to start. We were literally putting the final touches on her makeup when the school's robocall came in that all high school functions were to be cancelled immediately. This included prom, all awards ceremonies, the senior play, the senior trip to Disney World that we had being paying for all year, and now graduation. School just unceremoniously ended. They don't even get to say goodbye to the friends they've been with for years. No one is really talking about them. They feel forgotten and unimportant. And, really, so do the parents. I feel that we were robbed of this milestone, too. This is such an important transition for the whole family.

I was thinking that maybe if the President addressed the high school seniors directly that it could ease some of the sting.

Thanks, pedes!

I'm sorry, but high school milestones are bullshit. The prom? C'mon people. Tell your kids life begins after high school. The best milestones are college graduation, your first job, buying your first home, getting married, having your children. Some stupid awards ceremony run by commie teachers and administrators? Please.

You’re getting downvoted, but I agree with you. I understand that it’s important for some people, sometimes maybe more important for their parents, but anyone who seriously thinks the best years of their lives are in highschool are either still in highschool or live their lives as if they still are.

Not saying kids aren’t disappointed, but maybe prom isn’t as important as everyone pretends it is.

It's American tradition. I missed my prom and regret it, outside of your own wedding you never get the dress formally and party for a few hours

Attending other weddings and work parties isn't the same at all, lighten up.

When Trump wins lets hold MAGA balls all over the country and any 2020 seniors can come and celebrate
