Leon Purvis’ attitude about his unconventional prom proposal is “Never Say Never.”
Back in June, Leon decided to ask Justin Bieber to accompany him to his Glassboro High School junior prom as a “bro.” In his YouTube video (watch here), Leon says he’s one of Bieber’s biggest fans and thinks the Biebs deserves the chance to attend a normal prom.
Leon said: “The idea came to me when I was at pre-prom last year to see my sister off, and I was talking to a kid that was going. At the time I was thinking about what girl I wanted to ask, and he said, ‘Who are you going to ask? Justin Bieber?’ I thought it was a good idea because I admire him and all he’s accomplished for being so young. I’ve been a fan ever since his YouTube days.”
To accomplish this goal, Leon and a committee of his peers are wearing shirts, posting flyers and signing banners to promote Trending Day. If enough people tweet or re-tweet #GuyAsksJustinBieberToPromOnYouTube on the Trending Day — Dec. 27 beginning at 12:10 a.m. — the tweet could become a trending topic and garner more media attention.

First!!! And Justin come to my prom even though u are engaged to Selena gomez…
I don’t think he’s engaged , It was just a rumor . For now.
he’s not engaged to selena yet he’s wants to get married at 25
what are you talking about he’s not engaged! he’s to young to be think of that. either way i think justin should have a prom like a normal kid. prom is something that every single teenager should have. so i think justin should go .maybe he will not go to this one but i still think he should go to one. maybe he will go to chaz and ryan prom. that will be so cool!
where did u hear that they were engaged?!
OK ILL TWEET THIS!
Yes!! It’s not like it’s bad!
it would be so GRAND
Go GRANDERZ hahah i just had to say that lol but yea i agree it would be awesome
Awww, I think he so should go 2 the prom it would be a dream of mine 4 tht 2 happen 2 me, if he came 2 my prom!!,xxxxxx <3
Media would spread more rumors about justin, he shouldn’t do it.
I would’ve loved for Justin to have come to my prom. Thing is he might be really busy the media might spread rumours but at the same time Justin said one day he wanted to go to prom.
Does canada have proms? Chaz is a senior, so he invites justin and selena
