I fully agree. We should be able to at very least cancel it.
Moreover, while I know and understand this is an American based game, I am Dutch and have zero affection nor interest for the event that is prom. I always make my Sim skip it, and with my long lifespan family this is an annoying task.
I think a lot of the frustration and perceived issue can be fixed by making prom an event that can be canceled.
What's especially annoying is if your sim or sims graduate early they still get notices to go to the prom, but they cannot since they are no longer in school. Also, if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend they will get a hurt sentimate because they didn't ask them to prom when they literally can't. So, once again they are selling broken content.
