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!

I'm off to buy a super-powered megaphone.

My school is not all that serious about there rules on pda's. sometimes the yard narc will yell "HEY!!!!! hold hands!!!!!" (instead of fondling eachother) but really, thats about all. and there are alot of places where couples can hide (behind portables and PE storage, especially behind the library) it is just so sick. they should just get a room

Not allowed in schools? Are you kidding me? Yah right...12-year-olds make out in the HALLWAYS at MY school! The most I've ever done with a guy was kiss him on the cheek (not to say that he DIDN'T grab my boob after, which is because of course he did: sickening sick guys will be Mr. Grabby Hands FOREVER even if you DO kick them in the nuts every time they do sick ****). Mad

I don't really mind PDAs… Except when people are really antisocial with them. Like one of my friends and her boyfriend are always all over each other when you're trying to talk… I mean the other day she was talking to me and he was sucking her fingers! While she was talking! wtf?! I didn't want to see that!

Anyway, I thought of some ways to deal with it.

1) Carry a huge megaphone and scream into it ‘EEEWWWW, KISSING’ at the first sign of a PDA. If this doesn't work, use the megaphone as a club and knock 'em both out cold.

2) When they commence their display, stand as close to them as possible and stare unblinkingly. If they do not notice this, give handy tips on their kissing technique and offer to demonstrate.

3) Bang your head against the wall repeatedly and scream that you are a hideous gorgon and will never get a boy/girlfriend of your own, which is bad enough without them RUBBING IT IN. (Warning: this may cause mild concussion).

4) Capture your two friends and put them in separate cages. In one simple, masterful stroke you are free from their displays forever, MWHAHAHAHAHAA…

5) Get a blindfoldand wear it all day. This will not only prevent you from seeing your friends’ advances on one another, but also those of any other couples around the school. You will also learn the valuable skill of finding your way using hearing and smell only.

Eh, eh? Pretty good huh?

I am a genius!
