what do u think of debut parties? ever been to any? ive been to several sweet 15 mexican parties and 18th birthdays for my filipino friends. im supposed to go to one in a few weeks. i know that there are people who dislike debut parties because they signify a girls "coming out" and becoming a woman. any opinions?

Why would anyone dislike it because of that? I have no opinions about it since I've never been to one myself.

outside of a catillion, the only other debut parties i've heard of in my area were for ridiculously rich girls. seemed elitist to me, but i'm sure there are others that aren't so exclusive.

Well I lived in the southern midwest and we can debutante balls all the time in addition to cotillion. Eh, I went. Crappy food, lousy music, whatever. My best friend is a sorority girl at Vanderbilt and when I went to visit her, we went to a football game where everyone, I swear, was dressed in ballgowns.

I grew up in the South and went to college at UVa.

Like Iris, many of my female friends had debutante balls to "introduce" them to the adult (and dating) world I suppose. There's nothing wrong with it. To each her own.

Football was also big. The students went to games dressed. I mean shirt and tie or print sundress dressed. Its the strangest environment I've ever watched a football game in.

Not that I know about.

I haven't heard of any for guys Kas beyond cotillion. Usually just a thing for girls to present them as adults into society. Really nowadays just an excuse for a huge party and social recognition. Used to be a girl wasn't allowed to date until her "come out."
