 Dresses, tuxes, corsages... it must be prom time
Prom -- it's, like, such a big deal.
In a few short weeks, West Hawaii's high schoolers head to the last dance of the year. As one of the biggest social events of high school, students may find peer pressure a little heavier than usual.
There's the pressure to find the right dress, whether to go stag or take a date, who to take and what to do after the dance.
Of the more than 600 prom-goers surveyed by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in May 2005, 45 percent reported pressure to drink and drive or ride with someone who had been drinking.

Dragons 'D' overwhelms Cowgirls
Honokaa used tenacious defense and a relentless offensive attack as 11 of 14 Dragon players scored in a 61-17 win over the Kohala Cowgirls Thursday night in Big Island Interscholastic Federation girls basketball action at Honokaa.
The Dragons remain perfect on the season, improving to 4-0 with the victory and remaining a half game behind first-place Konawaena (5-0) in the BIIF standings.
Kohala fell to 3-3.
Honokaa set the tone early, jumping all over the Cowgirls and breaking out on a 17-0 run to open the game.
"They took us out of our game," Kohala coach Moses Bautista said. "They were able to set the tempo and we just couldn't get back on defense fast enough."
