Though he felt awkward, Cooper said he had a good time at the dance talking to his classmates and dancing by himself. “I almost didn’t come to the MORP (prom spelled backwards), but I am glad I did,” Cooper said. Even though he faced his fear of going alone to the dance, Cooper feels like his biggest struggle is with girls. “I feel like my life is depressing for some reason because literally everyone else in the school has a girlfriend except me,” he said.
