Why must we sexualize all touch?
Hugging among U.S. teenagers has become so prevalent some schools say they've banned the embrace or imposed limits on how long they last.
"Touching and physical contact is very dangerous territory," said Noreen Hajinlian, principal of George G. White School, a junior high school in Hillsdale, N.J., which banned hugging. "It wasn't a greeting. It was happening all day."
Hajinlian's school is among those from New Jersey to Bend, Ore., that have clamped down on hugging, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Ritual hugging has become so popular that students feel pressured to partake, said Gabrielle Brown, a freshman at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in New York.
"If somebody were to not hug someone, to never hug anybody, people might be just a little wary of them and think they are weird or peculiar," Brown said.
The phenomenon reflects how physical boundaries have changed, said Amy Best, a sociologist at George Mason University.
"We display bodies more readily, there are fewer rules governing body touch and a lot more permissible access to other people's bodies," Best said.
Is she for real? I remember
Is she for real? I remember kids wanting to beat eachother up all of the time, this hugging thing is a major improvement. This one kid must be a germophobe or have touching issues or something. Personally, I would think it's weird if someone was that bothered by hugging, too, but if she doesn't want them to touch her then I'm sure that all she has to do is say so, there's no reason for that to dictate what everyone else does to one another. I think that they must feel really secure in their environment to know that all of their peers are more likely to touch them in a benevolent manner. And they want to make rules against that? Insanity.
Indeed, this is happening. A
Indeed, this is happening. A Few years ago, when I was a Junior in HS, the school staff there where having major issues with kids hugging or touching at all. People still hugged, people still held hands, people still made out in the hallways. The rule was written incredibly harshly, and it sounded like it would be the eleventh commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Touch Another Being". However, it was enforced more whimsically than such. Primarily it was invoked to stop people from blocking the hallways by group hugging or chains of hand holding, but they also used it to put a stop to making out against the lockers. So all in all it wasn't that bad, and they let most things slide a bit on Valentines Day.
