I was thrilled. I had been asked to the prom, the biggest night of the year, by the guy that everyone wanted to date. I was the envy of all of my friends. I couldn’t believe that this was happening to me! I knew that this was going to be the best night of my life.
We met some friends at the dance and started taking tons of pictures. I was having fun with my friends but my date was bored and impatient. Finally he told me that he wanted to leave so that we could be alone. I wasn’t sure that was such a good idea but I knew I didn't want our date to be over so soon. We got in the car and drove around for awhile. Then he stopped the car and started to force himself on me. I didn’t like it and I told him I wanted him to stop and to take me home immediately. He did take me home even though he seemed pretty mad at me. I talked to my parents and the counselor at school about what happened. I didn’t want anyone to get into trouble but I did think it was important for me to be able to talk to the adults that I trust. A few days after this happened we had an assembly on dating issues. During the assembly the presenter talked about the laws regarding sexual conduct. We all learned that certain types of sexual conduct are felonies. (ARS 13-1401-1406). I think it helped to hear how serious this can be. The guy who had been my prom date even apologized to me later in the day. I’m sure he and I won’t go out again but at least we can be polite to each other. I also know I won’t let myself get into a situation like that again.

Ann from AZ, I agree! If one is going to "enjoy" oneself, as Eric so euphemistically put it, do it with your lifetime partner, not with some hormone-hyped guy out of the prom. Doing otherwise only causes problems... A relative of mine misjudged the loyalty of her boyfriend and ended up with a baby she has trouble supporting all on her own.

What if she had "given it up" as Eric in LA suggested, to have a good time and "enjoy" this big night of her life? Very possibly (happens all the time) she could be in extreme childbearing pain and labor a quick 9 months later. Then where will Prom night Romeo be? And she will be a disgrace to her family as well as add major financial burden. It's all about mutual respect, and NOT taking your fun at someone else's expense. He was out to get his way, no matter what happened to her as a result. Think of consequences and treat your body as a temple of God, because it is.
