    That really is depressing.

    That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they’ll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.

    I hope whatever they were doing didn’t take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3

      Don’t worry, this was the funnest thing to do before enough people showed up

      Also, prom is not a freaking sacrament

      Prom is really not all that special, it’s a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college

      Meh prom is not that special. If I knew I would have rather spent my time programming or playing

      Lifelong memories? Bruh I barely even remember prom. There are so many poignant memories that outshine that and I’m barely 31

      🤣

      Point is: leave OP alone, they’ll be fine :)

    Screw these other people saying this is sad. This is awesome! I spent many a Friday night at home programming or gaming and told my friends my parents wouldn’t let me go out. You get to go to prom with your friends and geek out, fucking perfect.

    I see a successful life in your future!
