I like to hug my friends to show i love them. Hugging is almost natural and its not PDA. (Its not like your kissing or anything)I belive its an outrage to get in trouble for something children give thier mom at night. <strong>Judge Tom's response: Good point, Savanna. Schools are concerned about long hugs and maybe what should be called PPDAs - passionate public displays of affection. Some schools have even established a 2 or 3-second rule which, when broken, results in detention or some other form of discipline. Both you and the school have legitimate concerns which call for a compromise that is satisfactory to all. I think hugging is natural. I like to hug my friends to show i love them.
