Its not really my opinion. Its their tendancy to do that and look at the majority as a whole. Yes you can pick out individuals, but they arn't trying to cure individual by individual, they look at the sypmtoms and try to go for the disease.

Considering being selective.. Seriously? Its may be unfair, but like I said before, this shoudn't be that unusual because its not even close to being new. The older you are and the more popular you are, tend to give you a bit more freedom and decision. This shouldn't be that hard to grasp, and knowing that you are probably a softmore and 16, doesn't really make you a strong candidate for those things in their eyes.

Yeah it sucks and they should ban it, but they won't anytime soon I am sure. They make and enforce their policies for a specific reason, whether it be because the parents don't want their kids being introduced to temptations and seduction at that young of age, or most likely, its because of previous evidence.

Teen pregnancy is at an all time high I think, getting into college and getting an education is far mor important than having sex, having distractions, or being in a serious relationship at the age of 19-21. You can't survive nowadays while being successful and always staying on the ball and not have an education. The majority is that and believing you are young and still have a lot of time to experience things like being in a relationship, isn't really hindering the idea of having a prioriy that isn't just that.

51% of Americans are mothers and 2 things mainly are on their thoughts;
1, They don't want their kids dieing or dead and on the cover of Times, and 2, they don't want them making the same mistakes as they did.

oh yeah, just so you know. Highest scores on many tests during HS, mine always came 3rd or higher in the state. Had plenty of A students screwin in those bathrooms or outside the school behind the bleachers. Evidence and a line at enforcing a policy such as yours. Yet we still we got some in the bathroom.

Okay, maybe hugging is a bit much, but I, for one, hate PDA, particularly tweenage PDA. I hated it when I was in school, and I hate seeing teen couples hugging and kissing on the escalators outside of Hot Topic. Take your hormores elsewhere! You shall not peddle them here!

Maybe I'm just bitter. That is a possibility. I don't like seeing sloppy make-outs.

You know, those kind of people frustrate me. I see them at malls, or in the arcade, usually hanging around with whichever friend can play DDR, or at conventions. Maybe I'm just getting past that target age for conventions, but it just drives me up the wall that these kids are trying to wear grown-up clothes and attempt to smother each other with attention because they are either 1) too insecure to go without physical contact for, like, and hour or 2) because they want to brag and show what they "have" off to the single populace.

So, really, to reiterate, I really have no problem with people cracking down on PDA. I only wish we could extend the reach of this rule from schools to malls, conventions, and pretty much anything else I frequent.

I go to a public school that has "outlawed" PDA. I'm sort of indifferent I guess, cuz I'm not into the whole "make out in front of all the world to see" thing. I don't mind PDA because it's something easily ignored for me, but I do get annoyed by the school's hypocritical take on the punishment. We have open lesbians at our school, and I suppose they'll make out with each other during passing periods and no teacher does anything about it. Yet I've got a friend who was just kissing his girl good bye before a class and served two detentions because of it. As long as there's no groping and dry humping, I think PDA is fine, I'd really like to know why teachers think it's such a big deal. I hope their arguement isn't distraction, cuz I think that's weak.

Like I said, it all stems from insecurity, I think. People need to feel constantly reassured that there is someone there for them, and making out on the escalator is supposedly unmistakable truth of that.

This could be an in-depth anthropological analysis, or my biting cynicism, which could explain why I'm single.

I believe that hugging, or even a 'peck on the cheek' is fairly non-disruptive regardless of the situation, and beneficial to the couple in that the receiver of the hug/'peck' is made aware that the hugger/'pecker' is not afraid of others knowing the feelings between the both of you. Making out however is obviously an attention-grabber and blatant overkill...regardless of the situation if done in public. Save it for the couch or the backseat of a car, it's more fun there anyway if you ask me.

Where I go to school/work it's called "cupcaking." ((Don't ask, I have no idea... I'm from out of state!!))

Usually, if they catch you hugging or something they will just yell at you.

But a little kiss or a hug isn't all that terrible. Dry humping and full on make-out sessions are PDA for sure!

My best friend passed away last month. When I heard he died, I was obviously upset... I do NOT cry in front of people unless they are really good friends... And I was sobbing hysterically. My boyfriend was holding me during our break time... And I buried my face in his chest and sobbed... I had the hiccups I was crying so hard. And we got yelled at! They threatened to write us up... Even though I was being consoled. Even after we explained in a very respectful manner what was going on, they still didn't give us any respect or anything. Terrible.

So situations like that need to be taken into consideration as well.
