Prom night is an exciting event many high school students look forward to. However, it’s important to prioritize safety and take precautions to ensure that everyone has a fun and memorable night. Here are some prom night safety tips:
Plan Transportation in Advance
Make sure you have a safe and reliable mode of transportation planned, such as a designated driver, a taxi, or a ride-sharing service.
Don’t Drink and Drive
Under no circumstances should you get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking. Even if you only had a little bit to drink, it’s better to be safe and find another way to get home.
Be Aware of your Surroundings
When you’re out and about, pay attention to your surroundings and stay alert. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, trust your instincts and leave the situation.
Stick with a Group
It’s safer to stick with a group of friends throughout the night. This way, you can keep an eye out for each other and ensure everyone gets home safely.
Keep your Phone Charged
Make sure your phone is fully charged and that you have emergency numbers saved in your contacts.
Avoid Social Media Oversharing
Be mindful of what you post on social media during and after prom night. Avoid sharing your location or photos that could compromise your safety or the safety of others.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the night to stay hydrated and prevent any potential alcohol-related issues.
Watch your Drinks
Be cautious of accepting drinks from strangers and never leave your drink unattended. If you suspect your drink has been tampered with, dispose of it immediately and get help.
Avoid Drugs
Don’t use or accept any drugs, including prescription medications, from anyone at prom.
Dress Appropriately
Choose comfortable shoes and a dress or suit that fits well to avoid tripping or wardrobe malfunctions.
Know the Venue’s Rules
Be familiar with the venue’s policies on alcohol, drugs, and other behavior. Follow these rules and report any suspicious or dangerous behavior to authorities.
Have a Backup Plan
Make sure you have a way to contact someone in case of an emergency and know the address and phone number of the prom venue.
Set Boundaries
Be clear about your boundaries and respect others’ boundaries as well.
Have Fun, But Be Responsible
Prom is a time to have fun and make memories, but it’s important to do so responsibly. Don’t let your guard down and stay in control of your actions at all times.
Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and make memories, but it’s important to prioritize safety and take precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable night.

The drinking thing is interesting since prom age is under age. I guess I’m naive to what happens at prom? My kids are young still. There was no alcohol with my group of friends when we attended prom back in the 90s. I guess it depends on your people.
