    It’s all surprising to me. I did not know there were formals at that age. I thought they were a grad thing.

      It depends on the region, in my area of the US we had a Ring Ceremony formal in 10th grade for people getting their rings. Then Junior Prom in 11, and Senior Prom in 12th.

      I sorta remember a “homecoming” formal also but can’t remember where that fit in.

        I’m sorry, I don’t mean to sound stupid, but what is the ring for? Like a purity ring? Class ring?

          Class Ring sorry should have been more clear.

          Only extremist christian private schools do things like “purity” rings.

            Ok. I sort of remember class rings but in these parts you got them at graduation. No graduation, no ring.
