PDA doesn't really bother me, as long as people arent like, having sex on a park bench or something i don't mind it. I think that people who are wanting to kiss or hug in public should be allowed, personally I don't find it offensive.
I agree. My b/f doesn't go to my sko but we don't make out in public we will hold hands and kiss quickly on the cheek or a small peck on the lips. When I'm at sko i don't want to see couples making out. It makes me uncomfortable.
yep xia you made sense i understand what u are sayin. I c ur point to godsprincess that would probally bother me too if people were rubbing eachothers butts.
At my school...i am not sure but i see guys rubbing girls up...yeah..so i dunno. i think hugs and simple kisses are ok but not when your sucking your mates brain through his lips..thats a little far. also i didnt like the fact that guys were rubbing their girlfriends @$$e$ right in front of me...not a very pleasent sight! lol
I don't mind if they stand in front of their own lockers! The only problem with ours is that we have top and bottom ones, and they're really small, so if you're in front of yours, you could be blocking 4 or more people from their lockers!
I don't think it's fair either that a couple hugging with a quick kiss gets yelled at instead of another that's having a full blown make-out session.
Most people don't mind PDA. It's just that a few abuse their PDA freedom (by making-out and groping each other), so the teachers and stuff are afraid everyone will do that, and they're afraid it'll eventually lead to sex. (it's just like the uniform thing. My school doesn't have uniforms, but if people keep abusing the dress code, they'll throw us into uniforms)
I don't know if I made sense, but basically I agree with you. ^__^
I understand your point xia, but it isn't fair that when your standing by your own locker with your boyfriend and you are like having a 10 second kiss that you get yelled at over the couple who is making out. I can understand if there in front of your locker making out, but what if there by there own locker just standing there maybe with arms around you, then how can people complain about that?
I agree with the person who said that if you won't do it in front of your parents, don't do it in front of us.
I also agree with everyone about the holding hands, hugging, and quick kisses and about how making out is too far.
How are we supposed to ignore make-out sessions when they're pinning each other to the front of your locker? It's pretty hard to miss it if you need to get a book or something.
Why should we have to refrain from even holding hands with someone we are crazy about in public? If you don't like it tough... truthfully, I don't see why people have a problem with it. The only way I can interpret distaste of it (in students) is jealousy. Teachers on the other hand, just want to prevent sex in teens. They might as well stop cuz it's gonna happen anyway. For the people where public affection really matters, they're not trying to show off. It's just a way to be more intimate with someone they feel strongly for without it being distasteful and inappropriate.
I totally get what your saying,but it is always so annoying to hear people yell or say pda, when all you are doing is holdin hands or somethin like that. It is like what about them over there, your not goin to say anything to them how are totally all over eachother.
Exactly. There's a common courtasy line of what's apporoperiate PDA and what isn't. Hand holding, hugging, a quick kiss, things like that are normal when in the presence of, obviously, many couples. You don't have to get all over each other in public (or in the case of my two darling friends who used to go out with each other, all over each other on MY BED. Oy!).
It's a bit odd that schools ignore the more serious "real" PDA and comment on the rest. Actually it isn't, they're probably embaressed to interupt two people groping each other like the rest of us.
But it is a little ridicious. For instance in my school, about half an hour into lunch me and my boyfriend headed back into school into the student lounge (we're allowed to go out for lunch). We sat down, me resting my head on his shoulder, he with his arm around me, very cozy and cuddly, reading a book together. For this we get in trouble.
In my school people think pda is hugging and holding hands. They think that is so wrong when the truth is every couple does it and some do much more. In our school, we have people who will give a quick 2 second kiss were as others are giving the full fledged thing. The teachers will always go after the people who are hugging, holding hands and occasionally holding eachother (like arm around waist), but rarely go after those who are worse. The same goes for the students except for it depends on the level of friendship. So what i am really saying is maybe people should be careful who or what they are calling pda. You might be giving the wrong impression to someone else who is just holding hands.
Seriously now, I actually find PDAs quite sweet sometimes. Love is in the air and all that. But when you're in a group and people are trying to talk, it's not nice…
At the prom my friends got 2nd prize for Most Sickening Couple. They looked a little shocked!
Glad you liked my tips! I haven't put them into practice yet, but I'm sure when I do I will have amazing success!
