The debutante ball is a traditional rite of passage, in certain social classes, to which teens girls are subject. It means that they participate in a party that marks the start of their adult life. It seems an innocent celebration but many times it also means that they are literally thrown to a succession of events that will change their lives in unexpected ways.
