Do you prefer going to prom with a date or as a group?

The old prom tradition is to have the guy ask a girl to prom. In recent years, this has changed somewhat, so that now sometimes a girl will ask the guy out. (Two years in a row, prom magazines have talked about this issue.)

And even more recently, at some high schools, the boys and girls go as a group, instead of with dates.

"I think going to the prom as a group is a more memorable experience."--Christin J. Allessio, senior, Southwick-Tolland Regional High School

"I'm a huge advocate of a traditional prom scene. Get a date and take some pictures with them. Sure, you will go with your friends, but you have to have some sort of date to go with, instead of all going as friends."--Thomas A. Goodrow, senior, Agawam High School.
