Peer Pressure and Bullying Social pressure can take many different forms, including intimidation, bullying and even physical attacks. If you feel you could be a victim or perpetrator (who wishes to stop) of bullying, talk about it here.
Don't know about that in all honesty. I can see where the school is coming from. I chose not to go to my prom because I knew I'd get trouble. But I can see why they would be upset.

I guess it makes sense... If these two girls are being targeted by a large group of their peers, the simplest solution would be to exclude the two from the dance. Of course, this is wrong, and lazy but I can see where the school is coming from.

I got asked to leave my first secondary school because I was bullied. It was easier to get me out of the situation than it was to punish over half of my year group for bullying me.
It isn't fair at all, but it happens.
For a school dance I do think it would be just as easy to ban the bullies though.

I have to agree, it would be better to tell the bullies not to come and make them miss it rather then telling two girls who haven't done anything wrong and have had to put up with the bullying not to come. It isn't fair on them at all.

But seriously, what are they supposed to do? Hold a prom for these two girls and maybe a few others, and ban 20 kids from going? Its just not practical.

Have prom for every one, but students who severely bully others don't get to come, just like students with other disciplinary problems can't go to prom.
Or, they could let them all go but have security (or trusted chaperons) pay close attention to the girls and bullies.
PM me any time, ok? I'm always here to help.
What's the second amendment for? Just in case the government takes away the first.

I think that would have been the best option for everyone. Tell them they teachers etc will be keeping an eye on them and if anything happens they will be kicked out.
