i say that it doesnt matter because you can say its breaking the rules to show PDA but that wont stop it people will still show PDA and all they will accomplish is more kids in detention if it bothers anyone look away it will always happen get used to it

i don't see why people have such big problems with public display of affection, holding hands here, holding hands there, a kiss here a kiss there, a little tongue here, and little tongue there, but if they start dry humping each other or something it's a bit to far, but just making out, kissing, holding hands, hugs, that's not anything bad... I'll hug anyone and if anyone ever dare say anything about my PDA of hugging, they will find my foot is going to become close friends with them and them excellent friends with the ground

I don't know I don't actually like seeing people showing Public Displays of Affection, mostly because i think it is kind of a personal thing, and I know people wouldnt like to see me with my boyfriend, but at the same time I think some people make a big deal out of it.

I don't think people should be full on making out, groping eachother, or touching eachother so severely in public, because its 1. Gross 2. Rude and 3. Makes you look trashy. But as for a simple hug, or even holding eachother doesn't really bother me, to me that just shows you care for that person. I also don't really mind a few small kisses here and there, as long as they don't last more than a few seconds. Holding hands is obviously perfectly acceptable, and probably the best and least inappropriate way to show your affection publicly without going overboard.

its not whether they should or shouldn't show pda....its whether they want to or not. if they don't want to, no problem ^^ and if they want to... well...basically as long as nobody sees, noonewill know =X

i think its fine to show pda....in less public places, depending on what it is. pretty much fine in public: peck on the cheek, holding hands, short hug, holding each other. not so fine in public: kissing...like really kissing..a long one...that keep some people oggling at the couple ._."

no point making rules against it...if you don't want to see, don't look. they're still going to do it anyway. and students should be smart about it as well, make sure they keep it in check n make sure it doesn't bother the people surrounding them~

thats what i think..

I think PDA's are okay but too much is not very annoying. I'd say that holding hands and quick kissing is good enough. The rest leave it to when you guys are alone. In my school there's too much canoodling and kissing. I'd say to keep it minimal.

I wish that people would be mature and courteous enough to limit PDA in *all* public places. School...the grocery store...the park...everywhere. People should be able to maintain some semblance of self control...especially when they aren't separated from each other for very long (i.e. the workday or school day).

I don't mind when couples hold hands or kiss each other a little. I make exceptions to this, of course. If I'm at the airport, I expect people who have been separated to really get into greeting each other (as long as they don't start having sex in, I can look the other way and be cool with the whole thing).

But overall? Urk. I don't wanna see most of it.

Public displays of affection is a right and know one should take that away!

There is nothing wrong with PDA it is a part of life. everyone does it. you just hit a stage of your life and you just go along with it. it's all natural.

At my school, PDA is not allowed. my girlfriend and I were STANDING together in a hall. we weren't all over each other, she was drinking a slushie and even had her back to me at that moment. a principal came through and called it a PDA. this was more than an hour after school. I got yelled at by a principal, a teacher, a counselor, and two pairs of parents. I was grounded from seeing my girlfriend and when we did see each other at school, we basically have to maintain a safe distance from each other because we've been labeled a "hot and heavy couple". through all of this, the principal was the only person who saw us standing beside each other. he referred to it as a PDA, so everyone who I was in trouble with assumed that it was serious. no one believes us when we say we weren't doing anything simply because we're "immature teenagers".
