!Chicas HERMOSAS! ( They look lovely, and without the risque dresses too often seen at proms up here.)

they look like some happy young ladies and their colorful dresses...wow... what a picture...

It is a fabulous site. Just like beautiful flowers - all different and each with their own beauty. I agree with homesick about the young lady in the front. It is very touching and also wonderful to read such a happy article.

If you are that scared you better go live on an island. Of course then you'll want to know if a tsunami is coming. Get a better life.

So all there is to life is negativity? You're such a sad, little person. Look around, there's a lot more joy out there if you actually open your eyes and start living your life, instead of living in fear of the next sad 'event'. You sound like a zombie, just going through the motions, waiting to die.

This may come as surprise to you, but this article and the news is not here just for your benefit. Others obviouly enjoy the article.

NotSchitzo,

From your post, I gather you complain every time your local newspaper publishes the details of a coming out party or a debutante ball. I suggest you take your blanket, go back under the bed, and leave the normal people alone.

Wow, the negative nelly's come out even on Sunday! News is one word, different things good or bad, are reported, not just stuff for your benefit!

I live in Mexico (Yank retired) and can honestly tell you I feel safer here than I do with the shootings, stabbings, and other murders back home. Can´t you allow these women their one day of joy without having to be so negative?

Sería un mundo más bello si todos pudieran disfrutarse por un día como ellas. ¡Felicidades, mujeres bellísimas!

And meanwhile, in Winter Haven, Florida, a man shot 3 college students leaving 2 dead and one critically wounded, and he did this in front of his 7-year-old daughter. All of this supposedly over drugs that turned out not to be there. And there are always stories here about home-grown meth labs being raided in this county. So if you want to look for criminals, you'll find them in your own backyard. I think this is a beautiful story of these girls; the pictures are gorgeous, and it's a refreshing change from the "if it bleeds, it leads" philosophy of news stories, especially when it's something having to do with Mexico. So to "Notschitzo," I've got news for you: yes, it's not safe out there, but if you're that afraid, you should hide under your bedcovers and never come out. But you will miss a lot of the joy and beauty that's out there because you might have to take a small risk.

not get a life you need to keep your fluff comments were the sun don't shine..

It's hard to remember being 15 in the US..lol. Congratulations to the government of Mexico. This truly is what your people need to bring them together. I love the colorful gowns. But even more the joy in those pretty, young faces of the future of Mexico. More, more, more positive journalism is what we need.

Just think. In a decade from now, one of them might be Mexico's first female president. I'd bet anything Mexico gets their first female president before the US ever does.

Terrorist attack?

Possible I guess.

And so on?

There are a lot of options.

Weaponized Bird Flu?

Even using a grenade launcher, do you have any idea how fast they would have to shoot a bird just to hurt you?

Go ahead – picture that in you mind…

Not Schitzo,

O my GOD, what negative person you are, you must have a awfull life... Life is beautiful, why not celebrate?

they are young girls and beautiful, and I wish much of happiness, and many, many years to come, to all....

Guess Mexico is America's neighbor and our influence is showing, huh? Think about what OUR media pushes on the world as supposed values.

madcitizen...Mexican American women are NO different than American born women. We all know how stupid men are these days. Most men walk around with asses and chins dragging on the ground, whining, griping, snarking, pushing, shoving and acting like the Second Coming of the Neanderthals.

Yes, like the U.S., there are 15 year old girls that have babies. However, in one generation the average size of a Mexican family has dropped from 4 - 5 children to between 1 and 2. More women are becoming educated and have careers just as in the U.S. and other places in the world. The entry of Mexican women into the workplace as professionals is nothing short of amazing. 45 years ago when I met the woman who would become my wife, there were no Mexican women who were professionals. Today there are more Mexican women graduating from college than men.

Wait - thats quincentennial - no matter - looks like they had fun.

Please learn the difference between your and you're.

madcitizen

That's what you got out of it? A misspelled word? I guess you fall under the latter category.

You know...I'm a stickler for spelling, too, but when it comes to discussion boards, Facebook or Twitter, I judge people on their heartfelt comments, not their spelling.

There is no spellcheck app for the heart!

Just get over it already.

wic...Count on it there's always one overblown superiority complex in every crowd..roflmao. So they love to judge first, correct and if you give them the chance? Turn it into their game of "Good Doggie" with everyone obeying their commands.

look at the pictures and listen to this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkcVeTjMA0A

I don't know. I wonder how many kids had to find babysitters for the prom here in the US? Probably about the same amount.

200motels,

my guess is that you are the one that are crossing the Rio Grande trying to have a good time with the girls??? shame on you, they are under sixteen, watch your back, you may end up in jail for statutory rape and God knows what else...

Now, I can tell you something, not only in foreign Countries young kids are having sex, right here in USA lots of young kids (boys and girls) as young 3-4 years old are being exploited by adults, so, before you open your dirty mouth to insult decent kids celebrating their birthdays, washed your mouth with clorox... idiot...and if you watch TV, you will know that, there are one too many Americans teenagers, young as 11 years old having babies, and are supported by their parents and/or by the welfare services...

What does a Mexican woman wear to her wedding?

"Something old, something new,

Something borrowed, something blue.

Something green, something red,

Something yellow, something purple."

Inventor...There isn't a human being yet that these nut jobs won't assail, insult or in some way degrade. It makes them feel superior even though we know they are the biggest losers in our country.

And what I find even more disgusting is that these are the same men who prey on young women when McWifie gets her first wrinkle.

I have been with my wrinkle for 28 years, and when she smiles and laughs, she is just a beautiful as ever...as for me, I got a few creases here and there too.

We will dehydrate together till the end of time...:)

25 years with mine and couldn't be any happier.

Love this story & the pixs. The pure joy on the faces of these young women is such a pleasure to see. I am shocked at the many hateful and one racist remarks directed towards them. Some people are just so negative they have to spread it around their world. Please don't let them get you down. They have a depressive world outlook and can't help it. The one that is fearful does concern me bkz they might need help. Please just ignore them & stay positive. Thank you & thanks to Mexico for making this beautiful day for the young women.

Ilona, I too have been stunned by the many racist comments that have been displayed in these posts. What is with people these days, that they can't just enjoy someone else's happiness? They seem to have to beat someone else down in order to feel okay themselves. How sad.

Blastin Nancy...How much is Rove paying your ilk to bash the president so Rove's One Party Rule can be the only government? Why the hell do you care what someone else is spending on a birthday party dress when the ciggies are flying out of the mouths of the righties and then they bitch about the cost of gasoline while they spend $200 a week filling up the tank of their gas guzzlers?

How about look in your own backyard for bitches to feed that nasty right wing ideology sane people are quite fed up with. Yours isn't an opinion. It's sewerage extremism.

Blastin_Nancy

Such a disparaging comment. I'm sure everyone in your little world is perfect.

Blastin-Nancy,

I feel sorry for you, your ignorance it is unbeliavable! just to let you know, in South America, Mexico, Spain and othr foreing Countries, the woman must learn everything , from scratch, cook, sewing, ironing, and take care of the house and kids, and the conditions are not easy as US for that matter, some houses still have iron stoves to burn wood for cooking, and 100% of mother on that 15th birthday party, were made by the girls own mother, however, I bet that you do not know how to sew a botton on you dress, so why open you mouth?

How do I know? I am from South America, and my mother made my 15th birthday dress, and it was gorgeous, I was proud and very happy! and I do my own dresses myself, like a professional dress maker... how about you?

P.S. if there are any mispelling, my apologies, I am a foreigner, but at least I can read and write, unlike some people can not even spell their names...

MitchRuth...It's becoming obvious, isn't it? We know these nasty people live to bitch and complain all day long. But, what else is there to do in DogPatch? Chase Daisy Mae around the outhouse?
