We are approaching the Ball Season when colleges throughout New Zealand have organized a ball for their senior students. The young women spend hundreds of dollars on a suitable gown and a hair do for this special occassion, and the young men have to dress accordingly. In years gone by it would have been a coming out Ball, where the young lady was introduced to society.
Getting back to College Balls these have been followed by boozy parties well away from the college and the guidance of responsible adults.
I am very heartened to hear that at least one college has canned the Ball and is replacing it with a formal dinner under the guidance of responsible adults.
Hopefully we will see much less of Teenage boozy parties and pregnancies.
