I think we should be able to have no PDA in the public school. Its all good feeling to receive a hug once and a while from a special someone or a friend. I also think there is no harm in hold hands with someone else even if it is just playing around.

Replying to pixieloo
Darling [[or dude]], its human nature to show affection towards people
I cant even hug my own friend w/o being harassed by teachers [[or staff]] that are so bored with their lives and their job that they have to try and make us walking robots.
However, I don't think they should get rid of it, but rather lighten it up a bit. I do think groping and making out in the hallway is extreme, but HUGGING is just fine.
Some parents that are working during the day are being bothered at work because their kid was caught "showing PDA". Parents that work nights, and require sleep during the day [[my parents]] are being woken up for this.

I am appalled at how I had to serve after school detention for hugging mi best friend who was in need of comfort. And I'm on the "black list" with mi parents because they had to waste money for gas to come and pick me up afterwards. >:l

I hope I can change the minds of the nampa school district administrators [[head honchos]] about this policy.

I don't see why it wouldn't be normal as long as there is a sense of decency involved... But no one can really define decency so I guess it is somewhat normal to ban public displays of affection (I don't know why but the use of the short form - "PDA" makes me think of the electronic gadget) until we all agree to what is decent and what is not!

PS: What about same sex public displays of affection? I am homophobic and I would never ever allow something like that... That rule is for boys. Girls can do whatever they like... ... We even encourage them to do so!

Um. I think you are wrong about that one. Schools are for everybody not who is smarter or none of that. Stop being immature. PDA shouldnt be allowed but still.. Leave IQ levels outa this

I don't think anything else is needed other than a quick hug/kiss during school. It wouldn't really be reasonable to do any more than that.

I'm getting very sick of pushing past people who are trying to have a contest to see who can get their tongue down the others mouth further, however who cares if the kiss or hug or hold hands. And to whoever is trying to tell these kids that their not in love and aren't going to get married good luck. And also, over half are probably having sex whenever possible so yeah I definetly see them waiting till marriage to hold hands.

i cant even kiss my girlfriend on the cheek without detention
Should Students In School Show Pda\'s

I don't see whats wrong with showing affection in school if it is modest but I don't think full on make out sessions should be alowed in school. But I am 17 and today I received a detention for giving my girlfriend a kiss on the cheek as I was leaving for class. I think the schools have gotten out of control with things of this mater because it is no big deal as long as there is some modesty
