Prom. What does the name mean to you? If you're an American High School-goer, or went to one, then it might be the biggest night of your school life. The end to your high school life.

If you live in the UK, however, Prom is a relatively new thing to hit the British High School system. When I was in school, the first year our school had ever had a prom in its history was the year I left. I didn't go though. Erica went to two proms and you usually only go to one! (She was very popular!)

Did you go to your prom? Tell us your memories!
