Over the Top Promposals

When is too much, just too much?! The latest promposal to go viral is a young man giving his friend a pair of $700+ Louboutins and perfume, and a sign that read, “if the shoe fit makeup your mind”. I personally, would have liked the sign to read, “if the shoe fits, then wear it” … but hey, what do I know? Other than, a lot has changed since I was in high school. I say to each his/her own. I am a mom of both girls and a boy, and as for me and my house, no way are we giving or getting expensive gifts as a teenager. Especially not to ask someone to be a prom date.

What sort of message does this send to boys – that you can buy someone? What about girls, that your decision-making can be influenced or swayed by an expensive gift?
