PDA, Go Away!

March 2, 2010 • written by Ellie Korf

          The public displaying of affection is an annoying issue at Park. School is not the appropriate time or place to express your feelings for one another. It is not a public matter. It is disruptive to the students who are coming to school to learn. We do not need to be distracted and bothered by inappropriate behavior from other students. It is very irritating for students to walk down the hallways and get stuck behind slow walking, lovey-dovey couples. Almost every couple at our school has their ‘designated area’ to embrace with each other. Many times, couples tend to gather around other student’s lockers. Although not all couples participate in this behavior, it is annoying for us to be around the ones who do act in this way.
         Lunch is the most popular time where couples feel the need to display their affection to the whole school’s population. It is hard for many of us to keep our food down when people are making out against a wall. We need to help these couples realize how their actions are affecting students and teachers all around them. It is a rude, disrespectful, and annoying situation to witness. They need to understand what the difference is between being an appropriate couple, and going way too over the top.
