My youngest son is going to his prom a week from now. He is taking his friend, Izzy (Isabel). Until recently, he maintained that he would never go to this event, so I am pleasantly surprised to learn that he has changed his mind.
That means all three of my sons will have done what I didn't have the guts to do, as a shy, raw teenager.
I think it is a measure of social maturity to participate in these kinds of events, especially if you are naturally shy.
My youngest son qualifies as shy but also social. Tomorrow morning he flies to the University of Montana to find out whether he wants to go to college there.
