The people who partake in PDA may feel amazing when they get to kiss their significant others in front of everyone. Public display of affection can lead to more insecurity in a person. We all know you can get a boyfriend/girlfriend and kiss them. We get the point. Sometimes people who play tongue hockey just make out just to piss people off. Or maybe they are searching for their gum in someone else mouth. Whatever your excuse is…Stop before it is too late. So you think shoving your tongue down someone's throat is okay? It's not and here are some reasons why.
Reasons you shouldn’t display your affection in front of people:
It is inappropriate; there is a fine line between acceptable PDA and Unacceptable PDA. My parents always ask me “What will people think of your actions?” This applies greatly to couples making out in the hallways in front of 300 kids passing by. I’m sure kids aren’t saying, ”Wow that is a real classy couple right there.” There saying, “Did you see the way they were making out? That’s disgusting.” We don’t see teachers making out in the hallway? It’s extremely inappropriate and NO business wants to hire someone who is partaking in unprofessional behavior. By starting this bad habit when you’re younger just makes it harder to break when you’re older.
It makes OTHERS feel UNCOMFORTABLE. No one wants to see you smooching on your boyfriend of one week. We get you guys are “in love”, but keep your urges in a room, a big PRIVATE room where no one can see you. I’m sure most students would be disgusted if we caught teachers making out hardcore. So why is it okay for students to partake in gruesome acts? There is fine line between appropriate PDA and Inappropriate behavior. People holding hands and a kiss on the cheek and maybe the lips if the kiss is done tastefully is acceptable PDA. Seeing two teenagers making out and groping each other makes me want to puke. There is nothing to do but turn your eyes away from the couple feasting on each other.
It is disgusting. Watching others partake in something so personal is wrong. Especially because watching others make out and grab each other is an extremely physical act. I’m sure no teacher wants to watch you and nor do your peers. No one wants to hear the splish-splash of your tongues diving together. The fact that people can not contain their urges in a public place is crazy. I mean really? Can’t it just wait? Most people don’t make out in public so why is it okay for you to? There are other people around you so be respectful next time you think about smooching on your boyfriend/girlfriend.
When you find yourself caught right next to "THAT COUPLE" here are some expressions that can usually get you out of that awkward situation. Number one "I guess I missed the memo on kissing 101", "Get a room", "Your saliva is dripping on the floor", "How do you move your tongue like that". Hopefully these expressions will help you fight against PDA. Fight for freedom against PDA and join the rest of us.

Hahaha! Jess, I loved your blog! You definitely used emotional and logical appeals to your advantage and made the reader personally connect to your proposed problem. Great use of rhetrical questions and loaded words. The imagery of the couples in the hallways was amazing, and I loved that you included what people are thinking as well as what the couple might be thinking/feeling. My favorite part was your phrases to help battle PDA, but I truly enjoyed your title as well (it really captured my attention). Also, your use of apparent sarcasm made the blog humorous and non-threatening. I think you could've used a couple of similes or metaphors, but they weren't really necessary. Wonderful job Jess!
ReplyDeleteHello Jessica, this is Lucas. I found many of the images you painted and words used to be absolutely hilarious. I thought the use of the logical appeal of professionalism was a very accurate counter-point to PDA. The final part of your paper was incredibly funny and really showed your voice. Seeing people make out in the hallways is incredibly awkward, especially when you can't avoid seeing it!
