James Tate Banned From Prom Over Romantic Request for Date

• I think a simple assembly stating, although this is cute, here's why you can't do this and the next person who does will be suspended b/c it's dangerous.  What's wrong with that? 

• Yes, she could have done anything but she kicked him right where it counts, his whole reason for trespassing - going to the prom.

• Yeah, you know she's got the special sauce, Honey, if the guy is willing to go that far to score a date.

• Mad props to James Tate!

• Yes, what J&T said. You have a prom your Jr. year and one your Sr. year that both the Juniors and Seniors share.  At our school, the Jr. class was responsible for coming up with the prom's theme and doing all of the decorations, even though both classes would be attending. Now if you're popular enough, you can go to more proms, of course - at another school, if you are asked, or even to your own school's proms if you are asked by a Jr. or Sr. but you aren't one yet (say, you're just a Freshman or a Sophomore). Oh, and in case you don't know (I don't know how much you know, lol), high school here generally consists of four grades:  Freshman (9th grade), Sophomore (10th grade), Junior (11th grade) and, finally, Senior (12th grade).   Prom is the privilege of the Junior and Senior classes, usually happens around the time (or in tandem with) the Junior class getting their class rings. :) (Dear god, I can't believe I remember that much about high school - and that was a nightmare I'd tried to forget, lol!)

•  I think she's beautiful; can definitely see why Mr. Tate went out of his way to impress her! :)

• She is gorgeous, her beautiful smooth skin and that beaming smile.! She had him scaling walls  to get her attention.  ! ♥

• Junior and Senior years are the 2 proms that most kids go to.  Some lucky ones get invited by upperclassmen but most only go to the two. 

• Awww, did mommy wean you from the tit too early? 

• Them a days too, Monica. Assholes? Yea, that's about right.

• I agree! She should give him a little taste of the boo-tay!!. But as always: they ought to be careful, thoughtful of each others feelings, use a condom(s) and SHE SHOULD GET ON TOP AND RIDE THAT ASS LIKE A STALLION INTO THE SUNSET!!!! YEEEHAAAAAA!!!!!!!! RIDE 'EM COWGIRL!!!!

• Aint that the truth??! Get some ass, why dont cha!! She must have been one dog ass ugly female when it came time for her prom, which I think they had proms back in the 1800's when she was going to school, and no one but the town drunk asked her out. She's just mad because everyone  got laid that night and not her 'cause she was home alone eating trail mix!!

•  Two proms? What's the other one? (serious question - i only barely know about high school prom from US tv / movies)

• I think she's a pretty young woman, Batsu.

• Totally off topic here, but...in that picture, don't you think that Sonali looks a little bit like Sammy Davis jr. ? 

• lmao.... can't wait for the album... 

• When exactly is Male-Hating Feminist Femarroids from Hell coming out with their next album?

•  Omg, BeaDazzle, lol.

• dude/ette... you might want to cut back on your caffeine intake 

• It so is. 

•  Thanks - I was wondering what "HMU" was. Jeez, and I thought I was all hip with the txt chat and kid-slang.  Though I guess I threw that notion right out the window the second I typed "Jeez", eh?

• Both of my prom dates (Jr. and Sr.) were my gay best friend. Wouldn't change it for the world, either - we had a blast. :) 

•  I agree that there should have been some reprimanding for that - but his intentions were pure and good and I think that should count for something, too.   They could have given him plenty of punishments or the like, though, that weren't as harsh as banning him from the once-in-a-lifetime event.  You only get two proms and no one should have to miss either unless they've done something very bad and/or malicious, is my thinking.

• How sweet!  Where were the James Tates of the world when I was in school?  (Like anyone would've asked me to the prom in the first place, lol). I'm so glad the old battle ax of a school headmaster let off - these two kids both deserve their chance to attend their prom and have a good time.  Tate's a cool kid, in my book, and Ms. Sonali is quite the lucky lady.  I hope they have a great time.

• Okay, devils advocate for a second - as sweet as it was, he did tresspass onto school property in the middle of the night, therefor he broke a rule. Should Smith have ignored that, and thus sent out the message that for some it's ok to break the rules? Some of those letters look quite high up - what would have happened if he had an accident and fell and broke his leg, or neck? I'm sure the school would have been sued in that case, by some trigger happy ambulance chaser. I do think he should have gotten reprimanded, or possibly some detention, for breaking the rules. But Smith shouldn't have been so tightassed and banned him from prom, that's just ultimate petty behaviour. At least she had an epiphany since and changed her mind!

•  James and Sonali for Prom King and Queen!

• Really?..I obviously do not know this lady but, come on! Adults out there....one thing to remember Never forget we used to be young and dumb too. As far as her (Ms Beth Smith), charging these kids with trespassing. Sounds like a power trip. I bet this isn't the first time she has acted in this over zealous manner. Go get laid Ms Beth...sounds like you need it.

• I am SOOO relieved that they are going to be allowed to go to prom! When I first read this I was shocked that the school was actually going to punish these kids for something so sweet! It was cardboard and tape, not spray paint or anything actually destructive. WTG James and Sonali! I hope they have a blast! And I hope that the principal doesn't try to make their remaining days at school a living hell for letting the whole world know that she is a huge anus masquarading as a school administrator!

• Thats CT for you.

• I have been following this story for a while now. They had a facebook page that was raising money to put on their own prom. I bet it started looking like to the "head"master Smith that the only sounds resonating from her prom were going to crickets!  

• Beth Smith is just mad cause no one wants her. Most likely she's ugly. Mean old rotten crotch!  

• Yeah she should  give him some action. That was sweet and guys are assholes now a days.. 

•  Haha, likewise. I'm always craving somethin' sweet ;)

•  I have to text my lil sister and get the new lingo.

• LMAO!  So true Boo, so true!

• Oh, that is cute...that kid is so getting laid...or at least a hand job....

• Damn, this kid's got some heart. Chivalry is not dead after all....it's merely taking a really long nap lol

• Thanks, iLL!  I was craving something sweet this afternoon. 

• I love the grenade song, favorite line "tell the Devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from."  I completely know some people that line works for. 

• There you go LoveKills and Jenn eye candy..or at least for me anyway ;) 

• Yep Jenn and the Lazy Song Maybe I should put him back up... 

• Yeah he is a sexy fella... 

• Is he the one that sings that grenade song? 

• Hmmm. I'd never seen Bruno Mars before this and, I gotta say, I didn't expect him to be good looking :)

• It was Bruno Mars Lovekills :) 

•  Awwwwww, that is super sweet.  No wonder Lil Ms. Sonali is cheesin like that. GO GIRL.!! I ♥ this story. Ms ( i assume) Smith is a dirty rotten #@*%#@ #@*#% that probably hasnt had a man since NAM. Well Im glad people stepped in and helped her get over herself.  I wanna see their prom pics. !!! Pete, hook us up dammit :D 

•  No wonder the "U" looks all messed up. Before I read the article I was wondering why lol

• I don't know about brother. That's a little too all-in-the-family. She probably went with her cousin, haha. Your son is probably right though. I bet her prom sucked.

•  Urban Dictionary is fucking hilarious.

• I was so pissed about this, when it first happened, I can't believe the lengths some people will go to assert their power. My 18 yr old(who graduates next month) was so funny, when I told him about it, he said 'That lady is probably just pissed cuz she never had a prom date, and had to go with her brother or something' We were so happy when we heard on the news that she had changed her decision. What a romantic kid!

• Yeah, I can't keep up with slang either.  That's why my new favorite website is the urban dictionary website. 

• Is it just my computer or did all of our comments just get erased? lol -- Nevermind, there they are. :)

• Well glad to see they were able to see the error of their ways and will let them go to the prom... I mean really, nothing destroyed, no one offended... I love that they used cardboard

• Why thank you, Love.  If you ever need lessons, HMU. 

•  I love how I'm 21 and I can't keep up with my generations slang. So very sad.

•  Ya know, it fits some women well. And you, Jenn, are one of those women :) lol

• I have read elsewhere that they are now allowing him and his date to go to prom.  Below is a link I just found bc of lack of time at work. http://shelton.patch.com/articles/lesson-for-high-schoolers-in-prom-ban-reversal HMU means Hit Me Up

• "Hit me up" 

• iLL, who is the person in your avatar? Looks yummmmmy. lol

• I have to carry on the "I'm a spoiled bitch" persona. LOL 

•  Well at least there's a happy ending. I don't mean that kind of happy ending. But yes.

•  Hahahah

• I'm shocked she said yes, to be honest.  If my man is going to put up cardboard letters for me, I expect him to at least take the time to BeaDazzle each and every letter. 

• What the hell does HMU mean?

• Yeah where you been on this one Pete? I'd was wondering why you hadn't featured it..anyhoo...The school is in full anal mode. It's cardboard, get over it...Do they freak at all the science fair poster boards too? I think it was sweet and thoughtful!!! Kind of a teen movie :)
