I agree. But punctuation is nice.

i think PDA's are okay until it comes to the point of sex which is illegal in public neways what's wrong with showing someone you care about affection maybe some people are so proud of their love for one another they want to show it off if you don't like it there's no law saying "you must watch all PDA's" summary: don't like it don't look

They tried to do that at my school but we all ended up hugging every person we've ever seen in the halls and when we got to class and saw someone we hadn't seen all day, we'd kiss their cheek. Just to **** them off.

It's pretty gross when you turn the corner, and across the hall in the blind spot of the camera are little sixth or seventh graders making out. I don't mind hugs, hand-holding, or kissing. Just doing everything at school is ridiculous. My english teacher hit some kids with her gradebook in the hallway when she caught them making out. It was pretty funny.

My school apparently bans PDA, but the ban is never enforced. It is kind of gross, but I just learn to ignore it.

Kids in my school (even some little seventh graders) dry **** in the halls. If you know them, you just kinda smack the back of their heads and tell them to go away.

I think that's true to an extent. I don't mind if people are kissing in the hallway, but much more is annoying.

the floor gets kinda boring and if you look at the ceiling then you end up running into ppl and that doesn't go over well

As far as I know, my school doesn't restrict PDA at all. Yes, we as students have had a few "suggestions" to lay off all the lip-mashing and ***-grabbing that goes on, but does anyone (aside from teachers and a few prudish students) really care? No. Personally, I've tried to keep things to a minimum, which recently has been very easy considering I don't have a girlfriend. But when I did, we held hands and kissed before class, but that was about it. I personally see nothing wrong with it. If you don't like it, there's always the floor or the ceiling to look at.

My school allows all sort of PDAs, and it's sort of nasty. However, at my church dances (I'm a Mormon) you have to dance a "Book of Mormon Apart." Meaning that you should be able to put a Book of Mormon between your stomachs (lengthwise. From the top of the book to the bottom of the book). A Book of Mormon is about roughly, somewhere between 6 and 8 inches. They could just say "7 inches apart" but "A Book of Mormon Apart" sounds more cutesy. Smile


Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.

My school, a cathedral school, bans all public displays of affection, and sexual relationships are totally banned. Expulsion and suspension are threatend punishments.In fact, we have a nasty rule called the six inch rule. You are not technically allowed in an area of six inches of some one of the opposite sex.

Obviously these acts are natural, humans are social animals, and need social physical contact. It sould be permitted, but I woukld stronly advise people to, I beleive the phrase is, get a room!

The school that I went to aloud them. Of course it was just hugging, hand-holding and small kisses on the lips. I really don't mind PDA's. I mean, I just don't pay attention to them because I have better things to do with my time then worry about what people are doing to each other in the hallways.

I think it's disgusting. There was this couple that always made out at the end of math class outside the door. Everyone had to see it and we couldn't get out. It was something I sure as hell didn't want too see. At my school, nothing that is supposed to be affectionate is allowed; holding hands, hugging, ect. gave you a month of detention and suspension.

I agree that hugging, handholding, or just a peck every now and then is acceptable but who wants to watch someone making out. I don't.

Yeah, it think it annoying sometimes but that only when you don't have it yourself. I used to think the same until my boyfriend started to kiss me in public. It's kinda hard though because you want to respond but then you're in public

My school doesn't even allow hand holding and hugging which is dumb---I hug my friends!!! Nobody really follows the PDA rules. The only time people get in trouble is if a teacher sees them making out (which is rare---most teachers have better things to do other than nosing around the school hallways). But if they just pop-kiss or their holding hands or they hug no one really says anything.

I don't want to see a couple making out anymore than anyone else but I understand why they do it at school. My mom won't let me actually date until I'm 16 (I can have a bf and we can go places together as long as it's supervised by an adult or it's a group outing where my mom knows a lot of the other kids). So, as you can see, by the rules set by my parents (and probably set by many others' parents) it's kinda hard to find a place to be...intimate...together. Making out in the halls is about the easiest way.

But I can wait until I'm 16, thankyouverymuch, because I know that I don't like to watch people make out so I'm sure others don't like to watch me make out. Smile

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean gay as in happy or homosexual, I should have used a different word. Let me rephrase:

"My school is strict (and stupid). If they find you holding hands with someone or hugging at least, they will give you a packet to work on about PDA's."

CrazyChild, what do you mean by "my school is gay"? If you're using this to mean wierd, then you're promoting homophobia. Gay does not mean wierd.
