Okay... When I said PDA (wow that was a long time ago!) I meant public displays of affection between A GIRL AND A GUY (or the other options... personally, EW.). Hugging your sister or brother or mom or dad or cousin, etc. is a lot different than making out with your boy/girlfriend in front of others.

I think some PDA is cute (hugs aren't allowed between depressed sisters? no wonder we have teen suicide...)like hugs, holding hands, arms around each other and when they walk arm in arm ( thats so CUTE I just smile and then I like go up to them and say *youre so cute!* lol...) but serious making out is kinda nasty...

Lots of love,

I don't like PDAs they make people uncomfortable. I go to great lengths to avoid doing them at school or anything! But sometimes it's tricky. Like today we were out in the middle of a field in a secluded spot in a tiny little village…
And my mum, my sister, and my sister's boyfriend still managed to see!
Daaaaamnit…

What do a couple of teens have to DO to get some privacy around here?

just tell them to get a room. and avoid looking at them. it's not that hard to ignore them.

I try but ever time I turn my head there is another couple doing it. There is no way to go around school pretending that it isnt happening and that the teachers and principal are doing nothing. The majority of the kids doing it are the ones that can drive. They can jsut go over to their b/f or g/f's house and do that stuff there. It isnt like they cant get there.

PDA is everywhere. You have to realize that some of these people in these school relationships, this is the only time they get to see each other. So why not use the time they have for what they want. Yeah it can get a little out of hand, but it’s just a matter of turning your head. If you don’t want people interfering in your life, stay out of theirs.

why the hell are you watching people make out? get your self a guy and make out with him. its rude to stare. so what if they are ok with pda's are they hurting you? i mean does it break your arm every time you see people kissing? didnt think so.

This a reply from a post way back but I just now saw it. So I am sorry for not replying sooner. I dont stand and stare at them. It's hard notto notice. So, if you want to come to my school and try not to notice things like that, then be my guest. It is disgusting to see that walking down the hall to get my class. You cant help but notice. I dont mind when people kiss but going beyond that is alittle too much.

My school won't allow us to hug.TO HUG.it's crazy we can't hold hands or hug.2 little innocent things and we can't do them.i can understand not being allowed to kiss but come on we should be allowed to hug and hold hands.

true intimacy is always kept private

It's kinda okay in our school... unless you want to be considered DECENT person.

it's hard tignore things like that when your best friend is making out wth your crush, u just dont forget things like that

hey look if you dont like what you see .....DONT LOOK ! its your face you can move it , in school , well mines bad , there are rulees basicly you can kiss , but no longer than 5 mins , ya thats rite we get minits ,any more than that and you get yelled at . so what , its there lives and they can embarras themselfes , or w/e how ever they want . its not you your aganced it dont do it , you dnt wanna see it , then dont look its as simple as that . wow thats hard think that you can drive your eyes away from the site you dont wanna see ?...............i thought so ! well ya thats my view
and the whole locvker situation , next time just push them outta your way and tell them to take it to another area! b strong not a push over

At my school they won't really let you show any affection (with the exception of certain people). They'll let you hug and they kinda let you hold hands, but more than that and you get in trouble if you're seen. Personally, I don't see the problem with PDA. People should be able to show affection for each other in public if they want to. At school maybe you should limit the making-out (milder than that GO AHEAD!), just cause it's school. Some people can't see thier bf or gf after school so when do they have a chance? if they're at ur locker tell them to move, it's your space, but like at lunch or in a corner, they're not in ur way...if you don't like it just ignore them. Nobody's gonna stop me, I never get to see my bf and when I do I'm gonna take the chance to kiss him all I want. Just ignore it, it's a free country. Get over it, it ain't killing you.

norrow, i know what you mean. people seem to think that my locker has a neon sign over it that says, "Make out right here! Owner of the locker won't mind one bit!" That's what makes me more mad than anything. We have rules and stuff, but no one listens to them, especially since they seem to think that my locker is the one area of the school that you can't get in trouble for making out at. It's funny though. The other day, a couple was leaning on my locker, making out, and I kept saying, "Excuse me!" and the girl finally turned around and was like, "Do you mind?"

yeah, o.k. i don't want to see couples making out in the hall, because that is the true purpose of the PDA laws, but my school has taken it too far! all the teachers now have whistles to blow everytime they see an offender!i got detention for hugging one of my friends, who is a girl! plus my friend was having it rough one day and her sister gave her a hug and they both got detintion for it! i understand, but some times things just go way too far in reversing a situation.people just need to realize that not everyone wants to see them swap spit and they need to grow up because it makes life suck for the rest of us!

I completely agree. Keep that making out to PRIVATE situations. In school, I don't think they should allow making out at all. I've kissed someone, hugged people, and held hands with people before, but never made out in public. It's disgusting.

It's called decency, and not many people have that anymore.

Personally, I think PDA is just fine. To an extent. In my school, half the time they yell at you for kissing. But they don't yell at others doing the same thing or worse. I like to be able to hold my boyfriend's hand, hug him and kiss him goodbye. This does not mean I'm making out in the hall way. I kiss him quick on his closed lips. There's nothing wrong with that. One day we get yelled at for leaning on each other in lunch, which I think is fine, and the next we don't get yelled at for leaning on each other and taking a nap. Explain that? I mean, I was the one sleeping, but still. Now, the ones you see climbing all over each other, making out, feeling each other up, that's not appropriate for school or any other public area. My limit is short regular kisses, hugs, and hand holding. You can do everything else on your own time. I don't wanna see it and neither does anyone else. If you wouldn't do it in front of your parents, don't do it in front of anyone.

PDA is kinda icky. walking down the hall n seeing a guy n a girl with their tounges down each others throats is NOT what i wanna see. here the school has a serious rule about no PDA...which is good. i think if you wanna make out n feel each other up do it on your own time and not in front of people who dont wanna see how much you "love" each other.

i'm fine with hugs and hand holding, and even a little bit of kissing, but when people are groping and making out and stuff, just yuck. that's why there's the wonderful phrase of "get a room!" maybe we don't actually mean it every time we say it (i'm the last person promoting premarital sex), but it gets the point across at my school. plus it's fun to say!

My school doesn't allow any kind of PDA, but that doesn't stop anyone from hugging and holding hands. Hell, there is even this couple in own of my classes who kisses during class, but they don't ever get into trouble. The school says that there should be no PDA on campus, which is perfectly fine. I have no problen with couples showing affection in public places, but, contrary to popular belief, you are at school to learn, so anything like that should be an after school activity.
