Things to know

Regularly read by 50,000+ readers in over 140 countries around the world, "Dear Bro Jo" is published several times a month.

This is column is just one guy's opinion, and while he does his best to keep what he thinks, says and writes in-line with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, "Dear Bro Jo" is not an LDS Church website. (And Sister Jo thinks you should know that he's sometimes wrong, and often way too opinionated for his own good.)

Nothing here is meant to take the place of talking with parents, leaders, or Church authorities. Please, if you need serious help, talk to a trusted adult, leader, and / or professional counselor.

Readers Note: Prom

Dear Readers,

Here in the US most High Schools have a school year-end formal dance, colloquially called "Prom".  For most kids it's a pretty big deal.  The truth is that most cultures around the world have something similar.

(Here's a quick wiki link to the basics about Prom.)

It can be a big deal, and as such can be a time of heightened stress and feelings.  I've written several columns about it, which you can find by clicking this Sorting Link.

Over the next few days I'm going to be posting several letters addressing this event, and ones like it.  Those letters will typically be in addition to the regular letters.

I hope you enjoy them, and please, by all means, if you've no of anyone that's struggling with this time in life, assure them that all will be OK.  Perhaps send them the links to some of these letters and see if they don't find some helpful words, or at least feel a little better.

May the Lord Bless you All!

- Bro Jo
