I agree with that too.....I get tackled by people sometimes trying to give me a hug and what not.....I also think that as long as there in school and not have sex in school then it should be aloud to kiss and hold hands and all that great stuff.....

Mitsu-O!

Has the phrase "Get a room" been overused. Well unlike most people, I am not offended by public affection. It's ok and all but sometimes it dose get annoying. But I remember one time I've seen two old people kiss and I almost chucked! But y'know public affect dose have certain extents..............

I can see where the rule is coming from but I have to disagree with it to an extent. I mean I would not be against hugging but say people making out all over the place would get annoying but a peck on the cheek would be ok. It would also be very hard for teachers if say hugging or pecks on the cheek but not making out, you couldn't have them there watching people going "Hey, hey, no tongue you two" or " I watching your hands mister".

True, Ky-chan. Public places are not meant for PDA. And when I say public display of affection, I mean really getting down and dirty. Not so much porno-el sexo, but like, making out and rubbing each other's backs and stuff...that shouldn't be done in public. Because like you said, if in a restaurant, it could make people lose their appetite. Or if you're in a skating rink. Do not act inapporopriately as to where there are children who can see you! I was in North Carolina a few months ago, and went to a skating rink. Towards the end of the night there was this young girl straddling her boyfriend and kissing up on him. And I mean they were getting out of control. There were children in this place for heaven's sake! He had his hands all over her. This is an example of improper PDA. But things such as friendly kisses on the cheek, holding hands, or simple kisses of affection aren't that bad. You do want to show your loved one/partner that you care for them at times. Schools sometimes go way overboard with the whole, "PDA" thing. Sometimes it's rediculous. They should enforce it in places such as skating rinks, restaurants, libraries, etc. Anywhere where it's public, really.

Because any subject tainted by the subject of high school is completely retarded I'll talk about something more relevant.

I went to blockbuster one time and this guy slapped his fat girlfriend's ass while she was bent over. If that woman wasn't so obese maybe I wouldn't be so disgusted but damn save your obese love stuff for your bedroom okay. They guy who slapped her 300 pound behind was also fat.

I find it crazy and stupid too! PDA is not bad as long as you know
your limitation is showing it. right? people tend to get sensitive when they see people smooching around specially here in the philippines.

hurting anybody!
People here are uncivilized! hehehe.. (not all though)

I have to deal with the same kind of rules everyday. I do not think it is a mortal sin and that you will go to hell just because you love your boyfriend or girlfriend enough to hug them openly. It shows that you care about each other and you are not afraid to show it. Sadly, teachers and other school staff do show more favor for some students than others and it is usually the kids that are into every club and sport and who have the richest parents to give generous donations to the school. If they wish to have to rule, them make everyone answer to it, but it is still wrong to have the rule in the first place. There is nothing wrong with hugging or holding the one you love in public.

Immediately after reading the title of this thread, I knew this was going to be about schools.

I understand that schools are center for education. I understand they aren't supposed to e social hubs. And I think we all understand that schools are not places to... engage in certain romantic interactions. But what I don't understand is what is lewd of the holding of hands, or hugging— and that's different from groping, may I add.

Yes, adolescents do go through a phase of... having awkward, and oftentimes someties uncontrollable feelings and thoughts... But I don't think hugging, the patting of one's shoulder, or holding hands will lead to "certain romantic interactions". And I doubt there's really any schools where a majority of these actions will lead to something inappropriate... A majority. If there is... Well, I'd like to know a bit about that school.

Well, a positive spin to this is that school officials will "let it slip" if the person receiving the action is obviously having a mental breakdown and receiving comfort. I'm not sure how obvious the distress has to be, but if it's evident enough (and perhaps a history of previous occurances), then everything goes.

It sees that this policy arose fro a want to "purify" the youth of today. I can totally sympathize with wanting to get common decency knocked into these youth's heads (they so desperately need it for my sanity XD), but limiting "family-friendly" social interactions essential to keeping close communities, connections, and comfort... Nuh-uh. That's crazy.
