I have been to many over the years and still have more to go too .... w00t for a big family with kids still approcaching the 15 - 16 yr mark which is the usual time when we have them
I don't think 16 is too young to be a deb. The people I spoke with at the Helicon society recommend that the deb still be in high school, because the Helicon Ball is held in February, right before Reading Week (second semester break). They don't want girls to come home "just because".
