Kayla excitedly showed her mom her new dress for prom, but the mood quickly shifted when her dad found out. He was adamant that she was too young for prom, insisting that it was a senior event and that she should return the dress. Despite Kayla’s protests that her friend Angela was going and that she had already bought the dress, her dad remained firm. He didn't see the dance as just a fun event but as something inappropriate for a sophomore. Although her mom tried to mediate and understand Kayla’s feelings, her dad was resolute, emphasizing that such events should be reserved for older students and not setting any new precedents.
