Jake was asked by a friend to go to prom. It was a girl that was asking as a friend who didn't have a prom date. Jake told her he would think about it. He asked for my opinion. The prom location would be at a school that Jake wouldn't know anyone other than his date, whom he didn't know real well either. She is a barrel racer and he has been around her some. I told him it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity and it would be fun. He could also drive his red car, which I think was the biggest reason he was even considering going. However, if he didn't want to go that would be fine too, whatever he was comfortable with. He took a week and finally gave the girl a yes answer. Over the weekend they talked a couple times and he was planning to go. Then she tells him that she has decided to go with another boy. What?! You don't just ask someone, they accept, then change your mind. Rude, inconsiderate, and mean. I feel like my kids always get the bad end of the deal when it comes to people and relationships. It makes me so sad and angry. Jake told me more and it happened to be one of Jake's really good friends. That even made it worse! What is wrong with people?!! On the flip side, when Jayden was asked to prom her senior year by a guy, she turned him down to save a friendship because her friend had a crush on the guy that asked Jayden. And go figure her friend ended up going with someone else anyway.
