Because real life is totally like that.

Middle school isn't about imitating the real world. It is about learning facts and basic knowledge.

And if a school district has a problem with boys and girls having sex in bathrooms during class, teens getting knocked up, low test scores, and poor preformance, and they feel it is because the students focus only on the opposite sex rather than the curiculum, they can and should split the genders. It may not be right for some districts, but it is right for others. This is the whole problem with a federal system. Districts cannot do things for themselves. I am sure you agree that having nation-wide standards and processes is the wrong way to approach education.

Oh boo hoo hoo. I can't hold my boyfriend's of two days hand. It makes me sooooo sad.

Grow up. School is about learning, not relationships. In fact, a school district in Georgia is splitting up guys and girls in schools. A good idea if you ask me.

I dont think hugging or holding hands is gross, but totally making out in the hallway is kind of distastful. I think that people should realize that other people don't want to see that kind of stuff

This topic makes me mad!!! I just dont understand why we cant hug someone without getting yelled at!!! Most of the people yelling "P.D.A" are the ones who are stuckup rude and usually not married (i wonder why)!! There are 2 teachers at our school that are married and give eachother hugs and kisses in front of students so why cant i? People are always complaining about looking at seeing the digusting sights of couples doing their things, but whose head and eyes are looking? YOUR OWN!!!! IF U DONT LIKE IT LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!! LIKE BEXTHEREX SAID IF U DONT LIKE IT LOOK THE OTHER WAY OR USE A BLIND FOLD!!! Ive got yelled at for P.D.A. at least 5 times and im sick of it, but i doubt what i say on here will change the way my teachers think but thanks for reading this anyway!!!!!

The stuff I see tends to look more like public displays of sexual assault than affection. Guy slams girl into locker and starts chewing her throat, girl screams "no" but sends mixed messages by laughing her ass off, guy goes to jail for rape several years later.

As many people have said... 'I know what you mean.'

Some displays of affection can be cute, but when it comes to groping and making-out it becomes totally disgusting and increasingly awkward.

I'm alright with hugs and kisses... but I wish people would understand when to draw the line.

I think that the problem with PDA's in the present time isn't just how far people are going, but the thing that is becoming extremely regular (and quite disgusting) is how young and early people are doing it.

Yeah...

I think most people know what I mean.

talk to your principal and read your rule/hand book w/e it's called. I know at my school we're not "supposed" to show PDA's but, just about everyone who's in a relationship does it anyways, just so long as the principal isn't around haha. but, i'm sure it depends on the rules @ ur school and whether it's a public or private school.

A Few days ago my current girlfreind and i decided that we were going to give eachother a cute little peck on the lips whenever we see one another in the hall. However, today we were confronted by the vice prinicpal. He told us off and said if we do it again we would receieve a call home and if it persists we would get a parent confrence. I invormed him that i do not understand why i cant love my girlfreind and show it. he ignored my question and sent us back to class.I am ENRAGED. this is unjust to say the least. all i do is give my GF a quick kiss on the lips or a short french kiss(before i leave). now i am in middle school. and i dont believe it, how can i be treated like i did something wrong for kissing my girlfreind. Our principal has been kind enough to inform the enitre school we cannot even hug our partenrs. i am POed. surely this is illegal.

My school, as well as many others, have banned most of the PDA that can go on in the hallways. Your allowed to hold hands and give quick hugs... and even some teachers have issues with that. While I agree that I don't make out with my boyfriend at school and I dont want to watch others make out, I think quick little kisses (lip to lip.. lasting about 2 seconds) should be allowed. Thats not gross in my opinon. What is gross is watch a guy and girl make out and be all over each other in the hallways.

Exactly my feelings.

I mean...example. In my family you can go out on single dates with the same person for two weekends, and then you have to group date, or take some siblings with you for a weekend, until you graduate from highschool. So, my brother took my other brother and I out with him and his girlfriend to a movie. I don't remember what movie it was, it was just a movie. So, I mean, my brother had his arm around his girlfriend, and I was just fine with that. They weren't making out, they were just watching the movie. However, the people in the row in front of us were totally on top of each other, kissing and I don't even know why they paid for tickets. I mean they weren't even watching the movie! And it grossed me out. I just wanted to say, "Please! I'm trying to watch the movie!"

That's when it just becomes rude.

PDAs are GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS

God that happened to me on friday (my last day) the girl with the locker below mine was making out with some guy in front of my locker because she can't walk two feet away from the lockers.

LOL, well if you're at my school, the art storage closet is private. Ok only like 5 people on this site would get that....but most kids don't care about that kind of reputation. Unless they are stripping clothes, just look at something else, it's kinda a usual thingand not really anything you can do to break it up anyways.

Agreed. Last year, my bf and I pop kissed when departing from each other and we held hands a lot and hugged. But nothing else. That was it.

There's no way I would make out with him or other stuff in the middle of a school hallway. That is ridiculous. Why would anyone want to put on a show like that at school? Go find somewhere else to do it! I did!

As far as the "Just don't watch" argument---it doesn't work. When it's everywhere around you or right in front of your locker or your classroom, you can't just not watch. We shouldn't have to avert our eyes, anyway.

There's a rule at my school against this and you know what? My bf and I got in trouble when we were just standing there facing each other. We weren't kissing, hugging, not doing anything and we got yelled at. While John and his McShorty of the week are going at it like rabbits in the hall and no one even blinks an eye...

I don't think anything is wrong with PDA. I think its cute. Now if you see the same person showing PDA to several different people thats a problem but other then that i think its cute and shouldn't be stopped and since i'm nosey it keeps me from asking so many questions.

Just don't watch then...........
