High-schoolers take their proms online
For many high school students, going to prom is a rite of passage and a highlight of the academic year. It's a time they get to ignore school-work, dress up and have fun with their friends.
"Prom was something that I had looked forward to since middle school. The end of senior year is the most exciting time of high school because it's our last few months with our friends before graduation and I was really excited to have all the special experiences that come with being a senior," Senaida Ng from Toronto, Canada told the BBC.
But with social distancing in place due to the coronavirus outbreak, students in the US and Canada, like Senaida, are seeing their school cancel or postpone their prom.
