Weird. I don't recall what the rules where when I was in high school, but I do remember standing in the Commons with my girlfriend, our arms wrapped around each other, kissing over and over until the bell rang for first period because we hadn't seen each other in five days (ah... puppy love). But there was a principal standing not 20 feet from us and they said nothing. Of course, had we moved to including tongue I'm sure they would have, but still.

No Touching! No Touching!

Boy, am I glad we didn't have that when I was in school. Heck, you could even smoke without repercussions.

If they pull this shit on my daughter, she's not serving.

Hey to me the side east of Mississippi is the East side, the middle is from Nevada to Missouri, and the West coast is California, Oregon, and Washington.

I'm struggling to imagine a teenage couple kissing for any extended period without kissing properly. I mean, boredom anyone?

And until schools install cameras behind the bike sheds, rules like this are going to be basically useless. Just like rules about not smoking outside school in your uniform: they somehow think it's WORSE for underage smokers to do it in their uniforms (when they're already breaking the law) because it costs the school education-cred.

This particular incident is pretty stupid. But I don't know that it's acceptable for kids to be making out in the hallways, either. They don't allow that shit in most workplaces.

Well, we'd kiss, stop to look at each other smiling in laughing. Saying googly eyed, lovey dovey shit, like "I missed you." "I missed you more." "I missed you morer." etc. Then we'd kiss each other again. Sort of cuddle as we stood there, then kiss. Then I'd mix it up by lifting her off the ground and spinning around. On and on, you get the idea.

Then after school we "studied" at her parents house for a couple hours, i.e. we played tonsil hockey.

Low cost edit: that should be "smiling and laughing" I'm not sure what "smiling in laughing" means.

I don't know but I swear it sounds like one of the lyrics to "Brown Eyed Girl" from Van Morrison...

This rule isn't anything surprising. It's existed at my high school for years, and extends as far as holding hands depending upon who is choosing to enforce it.

We have it right now. I've never seen anything as strict as this at Lake Mary (the most was a couple making out getting broken up by Obi-Wan-Kenobi), but at my middle school our principal was totally hardass about it.

Maybe it has something to do with where the High School is. Mine had a very high percentage (40 IIRC) of Latin American students. It's very typical in Latin America for guy friends to greet each other with a hug and girl friends to kiss on the cheek. Thus having asinine rules such as that becomes rather difficult.

I never heard of such a rule growing up in Toronto. My wife, on the other hand, grew up in rural Ontario and their high-school had a rule against public displays of affection. I think it's mostly a redneck thing.

We had it in FL, but it was only ever enforced when people were hanging off eachother and making out in the hallways. Even then, they were just told to knock it off and go to class.

Hey, don't be hatin' on Chicago. We're the third largest city in the US, bitchez. An island of civilization in a sea of lottery players.
