Get Away With That PDA
February 3, 2017
Roaming the hallways can be quite difficult when there’s a couple in every corner showing a little too much affection and you’re just trying to get to class without any unsettling images every two seconds.
PDA or Public Display of Affection is when a couple shows affection by hugging, holding hands or kissing. It may not be that harmful but sometimes they take it a bit too far and it can be very displeasing for most of us. But we do all have our own opinion when it comes to that sort of business.
“Absolutely disgusting! I don’t care if you’re straight or LGBT I don’t want to see you kissing your boyfriend or girlfriend,” said Mr. Bezner.
When you’re in a relationship affection seems harmless and not a big deal. Saving it for later seems almost impossible when you’re head over heals for each other. It can seem a bit extreme to someone who is just walking by, more reserved or even single. No one wants to walk around and find a couple doing their hourly routine make-out session. You see each other every day before school, during school or after school. If you don’t then it’s a bit understandable but tune it down a bit.
“I don’t like PDA but if I see someone kissing that’s their own business but like why do it here? If you’re in a restaurant and people are trying to eat or at a movie theater you came here to watch a movie why are you making out? I think on Valentine’s day it’s normal because it’s a day dedicated to love,” said junior Alyssa Gomez.
It shouldn’t really be for the public eye but there is also people who don’t mind it at all. PDA really isn’t as big of a deal as people make it seem, it’s just love and affection you see it everyday no matter where you go it’s just one of those things to deal with. “ I don’t have a problem with holding hands or quick pecks but when it becomes something you don’t want your grandmother to see don’t do it. If I know two students who have a crush on each other I sometimes sit them together on purpose because they work harder and do better to impress,” said Ms. Moulton. Showing love can be done in different ways and most of us choose to show it with affection. PDA is okay as long as it doesn’t go too fa

Honestly I think you should be able to hug, hold hands and maybe just a small kiss. Having a full on make-out session is too much, you are at school. But for me I do think you should be able to at least hold hands, hug, and hold your partner, as long as you don’t take it too far.
