When you are 16, every little event feels like the most important day of your life. Going on your first date, your first kiss, prom, graduation, those are all pivotal moments for your teenage self, which means that you want all of them to be absolutely perfect.

Prom is probably one of those events that you want to have only the best memories of because there is no second chance or time for that one. You get one prom, so you better make it count. That means you have to put a lot of thought into what you are going to wear, what to do with your hair, and most importantly, who will be your date.

The girl in this Reddit story knew she was going to prom with her sweet boyfriend, but that didn't stop her from getting asked by one of her classmates, who didn't like it when she mentioned that she was already taken. His response? Telling his mom, who decided to take matters into her own hands.

Scroll down for the full tale. Up next, check out this story of a teen who refused to cook food for her siblings while their parents were away.

    AITA for telling my classmate's mom that she should look at her son before blaming me for not choosing him as a prom partner?

    Hello, this just happened very recently, and I know that what I said was r de, but am I really in the wrong here? So, I (16F) got into an argument with my classmate's (let's call him

    Then, he didn't say a thing about it, and I assumed that the teacher would probably just ask someone from the lower grade (the girls in our class weren't enough to pair with all the boys, so we would be taking some girls from the lower

    level to fill in the spot), and the next day, my adviser just suddenly told me that a parent was looking for me and told me to go to the guidance room, and I did when the event happened with G's mom.

    her that even if i didn't have a partner, i wouldn't choose her son and she should take a look at her son before blaming me. (G was the kind of boy that was egoistic and really noisy, plus, i really didn't like him since everytime we would be doing

    dance activities in the past, he would just run away to play with his friends and barely gave any effort to dance, and i couldn't have that since prom was a graded performance.)

    Everyone in the room became silent, and the teacher somewhat scolded me for disrespecting the mom, but soon let me off since she knew that other than my words, I didn't do anything wrong

    and just made me apologize, then let me leave since she would be handling the rest. This became really long, but am I the wrong one? edit (1): 1. i live in the philippines, so i'm not american; i am a filipina.

    2. yes, our prom is graded. it has a choreography. 3. the grading is for our physical education (pe) subject since that subject consists of traditional dances, and it has been like this; i meant that the dance is graded in prom.

    4. no, our whole prom is not graded. it's only the performance in the first part, but the rest is up to us to have fun. 5. i'm in a private school and also in the philippines, so things may run differently in our country.

    there was only one dance, the reason is that i can't. the performace will be done only once and during the first segment of prom so therefore, there's really no chance for me to pair up with him when i already have a partner.

    7. when the teacher asked me if i could pair up with g, i declined it and i'm sure that he heard it or his friends told him about it because all of the students in our grade was in the same classroom since the teacher was pairing all of those who still doesn't have partners up.

    8. no, i didn't go around telling everyone that i have a partner because i thought that i'd be obvious to anyone that i would go with my boyfriend of TWO years (i still don't know why the

    WestLondonlsOursFFC Part ipant [2] How come a random parent is able to come into school and speak to a child that isn't their own - even with supervision? What possible reason would the teachers have to let this happen? Where are your own parents in this?

    Secure-Score4899 • 3d ago NTA. Your teacher has handled things badly from start to finish. Your teacher should never have put you in that position with the mother. You or your parents should kick up murder with management/administration.

    No-Alarm-2208 A hole Enthusiast [6] ΝΤΑ You already had a date / partner prior to pairing up, OP. It's not your fault that G wasn't paired up with you. G's mom sounds entitled. Don't give her (or G) another thought. You've done nothing wrong.

    LittleTeapot7263 • 3d ago • Part ipant [3] NTA but holy crap that mother is teaching her son a REALLY damaging lesson about consent. Women should be honoured to be paired with him? Idgaf who he is, get out of here.
