It doens't say if her boyfriend got detention as well.


Should hugging be allowed in school?

Of course it should. I know teachers who hug students. Should they be disciplined? Or should the hugging just be restricted to those of the same sex? What if there is a gay couple hugging? Making out-no. Hugging--why not?

I wonder if this was just a long hug or a hug with some feeling-up involved. If it was the latter then yes, both parties should be reprimanded in some way.

lol hugging? Come on, I find this incredible - but I'm a foreigner. Right enough if a see someone hugging for too long in the airport and break out in an uncomfortable sweat, my legs tremble, my pupils dialate.

Does the school allow kissing, just curious? And what's the time limit on hugs in general?

Back in the UK we have fun looking at your crazy state laws. Eg. In wisconsin your not allowed to "worry" a squirrel. I'm not sure actually if a squirrel can get worried or not. How do you worry a squirrel? In some other state your not to have sex with a "live" fish. If it's dead - wahey time for some loving lol lol lol.

If I was at that school, being the wee protester I am I would organize a hugging rally until they dropped the silly rule.

Ah high school, I wish I was there again. We organized a school protest about local politics, we lay on the main road blocking traffic. Police dragged us off - we took a leaf from gandi's book - passive resistance. Ah those were the days, we got put in jail!

Did you know that in Arizona if you steal a bar of soap your punishment is to use it all up by washing yourself? Pretty nuts! In Marionvill, MO you can't scare a white squirrel. How do you even know if you've scared the squirrel? If it looks at you, you're getting a freaking fine. My school is a little leanient on kissing. If you get caught like 3 times you get a PDA note sent home and it must be signed (PDA=Public Display of Affection) If it happens again you get in school suppension. Hugging is allowed, no matter how long it is, inless you start having sexuals actions and wierd noised while you do it then you will probably get into trouble.

People of the world, I gave you the land of the free! lol. If we were caught kissing, we would be embarassed but that's it. I mean seriously, no wonder their is so many abortions in the USA!

Kissing is punished, so sex is made even more punishable. Because sex is more punishable, teenagers will want to do it more - rebel factor. Hey presto you have a baby.

The Dutch have the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in the western world. However the age of consent is 14! They are taught everything about sex by the time they are 10. Families talk about sex openly at the dinner table with parents and grandparents lol.
IMO it is ironic that moralism (teaching sex before marriage) actually leads to more abortions.

Anyway hugging and kissing are "human" and "natural" ways to show affection. I can't believe this is punishable for something so natural.

I'm sorry, but when two people are going at it like a bunch of dogs ( which I had to watch for a whole semester) I wish they inforced the rule even more, but otherwise I don't think there should be a rule for it. I think the families should really inforce the cons of having a baby before marriage and abortion. I hate it when people use abortion for birth control!

Right. There is a big difference between hugging and holding.

Hugging = Have nice day/hello
Holding = Did they just turn up the temp in this place?

GarzaUK

Describe holding, if you mean groping and fondling I think that should be down privately. But long hugging, not going to 2nd base is okay.

Alas we live on almost two different worlds.

The more the family "inforces" the cons the more the subject wants to do it, it is in teeange pyschology to rebel, to push the rules around, I think most people did it.
Look at the Dutch satin, they have the complete opposite approach to you, yet teenage pregnancy rates are low compared to the USA/UK rates where most people approach the same way as you.

The more we try and protect the kids away from something the more they want to do it.
Don't smoke - they smoke.
Dont drink - they drink.

One of the things my parents did was, they allowed be to drink when i was 16, in the house under their supervision. Of course I drank to omuch and was sick, I learnt a lesson. By the time I was 18 and legal to go out and drink, I was able to know when to stop drinking before I lost control. I knew how to hold my drink.
Opposed to someone who had never drinked before, going to a bar. Getting totally wasted, pass out, get robbed or worse get raped etc.
Just a thought.

Believe it or not my school is really workable with hugging and kissing. If you're caught kissing then you'll be stared out for a while and reminded that condoms should be used, I am serious about that.

The only trouble we'd get in, is if two students are playing spit-swap in front of the Physical Education/Health teacher... she gets really angry; then again, she's had 2 divorces.

But then again this is the school where our Principal has a physical education degree from ECU (East Carolina Univeristy, Party School) and our most renowned Spanish teacher was in the Circus.
