The Perfect Promposal

Trending

Available for over a year

Promposals (that is prom proposals for most of us) have been sweeping the internet recently. But some of the videos that have gained the most attention are those of students asking their disabled friends to the high school dance. They have gained a mixed reaction online, so is this recent trend inspirational or insulting to disabled people? We speak to the woman who shared her experiences of pre-marital sex in Pakistan. Zahra Haider ended up trending on Twitter after she claimed the country made her feel repressed when she later moved to Canada. Plus, an update on the young Afghani who became an internet sensation after he was photographed wearing a Lionel Messi football shirt made from a plastic bag. (Photo credit: Amy Wright)
