Asking a Celebrity to Prom

Being famous would really be something now, wouldn’t it? It’s prom season, and all over social media you hear of kids asking celebrities and famous people to be their prom dates. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a celebrity actually saying yes and going with a student to their high schools prom but I do find it interesting that these students are so intrigued by someone they have never met before.

Have you ever thought about this? Why are we so intrigued by other humans who are popular in the media? This seems weird if you really think about it. It’s like you always thinking about your loved one, but when you think this way about a celebrity it’s almost creepy, because you have never met this person before in your life, yet you love them.

What about being a super model? People all over idealize about what it would be like to look like you or date you, if you were a model. None the less, being Miss America, yeah that would be pretty fabulous. People all across the country would love you.

This year’s Miss America, Nina Davuluri was visiting high schools on a tour when a young boy at a Pennsylvania high school asked her to prom. This boy wanted more than anything to go with her but unfortunately, The Miss America, Nina Davuluri, had to decline due to her busy schedule.

Even though, Miss America, Nina Davuluri was not offended by this boy’s request for a prom date, the school thought otherwise.

This school gave this student a three day in school suspension according to the following article:

 Miss America, herself, stuck up for the student and said he shouldn’t be in any kind of trouble for asking her. However the school released a statement about student behavior.

This statement reads, “"It is not our practice to discipline a student for asking someone - even Miss America - to a school dance," the statement said. "However, it is our practice to set expectations for student behavior, to communicate those expectations and rules to students and families and to ensure those rules are followed within our schools."”

This I can agree with, that students need to follow behavior expectations when a visitor comes, however I think he shouldn’t have been suspended.
