HAH!!!!! Same thing happened to me. My friend and i were both hugging and a vp came up to us and told me and my friend that the principle would take offense if he saw us. Hes apparently really homophobic or something and wont let gay couples go to the dances and actually dance. We arent even gay.....

Disobey them. Hug everybody. They can't tell you not to do that. I'm generally not rash or insulting, but I'd personally tell them to go fuck themselves, cause that is some serious bullshit.

I don't know about you guys, but my school already banned physical contact when I got there. They were serious about it, and excluded some of my friends over light-hearted play fighting.

If I may go off on a tangent, my school introduced a vertical tutoring system recently. What this means is that students sit with different years while in registration. (or tutor time, or whatever you call it) This means, for a senior like me, I have to spend 30 minutes every day with whiny annoying children pestering me over why I am reading Frankenstein (it's for English, for those who are curious), and then remarking that it's "gay", or whatever they say. EVERY DAY.

It gets much worse. They make people my age do stupid shit like wear orange clothing for non-uniform days, and compete in silly competitions with people half my age. Because we are all in the same rooms for assemblies, whenever the headteacher gives out one of his lectures about how we are slacking off, every year has to take it, even if it was only one year who he had a gripe with.

Actually, going back to the orange clothing, this brings me to an "amusing" anecdote. Today, one of my friends couldn't find anything orange in his wardrobe, and got sent home. Now, I have something orange because I have acquired tastes in underwear (another conversation for another day), but what guy actually has anything orange? For girls, it's easy. Orange nail-polish, orange tops, orange bags, and so on. But guys? Fuck that noise.

So, in fairness, your school is bat-shit insane, and I do not deny that. But, count your blessings. At least your school doesn't segregate you for not wearing fucking orange clothes.

My school has made a few pretty bad decisions in the recent years. we all do exams a year early and over 1 year (despite them being made for 2 years and most universities only accept 1 years worth), firing all but 1 geography teacher, not letting pupils use a gate to go home/to the shops at lunch (for food) and cracking down on full-contact sports.

but now, they have taken that final step. SMT[footnote]Senior Management Team[/footnote] has snapped.

we arent allowed to hug any more.
or, more specifically, guys arent allowed to hug people. because theyre insane.
and no, i am not making this up. one of my friends got a warning for hugging another guy.

so Escapists, i ask of ye, what are your opinions on this?
and has your schools SMT ever done something this insane?
To be fair, anything guys hug they mate with.

Speaking as a male who has mated with many things.

I'm still not allowed in the local library.

... Wait, what?
How the fuck is that a dick move?
Was the closest to a dick move I could think off xD Well you'd be surprised how much the superintendants or w/e you call them spent their time in recess telling smokers to "walk 2 steps to the right" or just move groups of ppl for an invisible line that shifted depending on the superintendant. And as a massive percentage of students were smokers this applied to almost half of the school..
... First off, I'd say those numbers sound pretty insane on their own. Half the school were smokers? Holy shit.
Also, while it does sound pretty stupid to tell them to walk two steps to the right, it's pretty understandable to enforce that rule (at least to me it is).

And I thought my school was stupid when they had a little talk with a bunch of kids who got maybe slightly too drunk in the park nearby.
Oh! Also, got a pretty picture just for this thread.

Wow, yeah the school, a place of education and free mind, where the students can evolve.
I'd just hug every boy I see and just wait until they'd try to throw me out. I'd love to see what a judge thinks of this stupid rule.
No wait, I wouldn't just hug everyone, I'd kiss everyone who doesn't mind on the cheeks as well, just to spite them.
Or if you don't want to go to court, make a protest, tell newspapers of this idiotic rule etc. There are lots of possibilities.

Yay for growing out without proper social interaction/physical contact with other humans!

I'm assuming, based on your post, that girls are still allowed to hug others? If so, you should sue the school for;

1) Sexual discrimination
2) Ruining your social development
3) Being twats
If being a twat warrants a lawsuit then the amount of people I would take to court would be extraordinary. Remember the court scene from The Dark Knight where all the mobsters are being trialed. Think that but all the seats taken up by twats.

OT: Yeah, threaten them with a lawsuit if they don't drop the rule. What can they say to justify it? "No because you might spread... homosexuality and... AIDs amongst each other" See, doesn't work.

yeah...compared to most of this crap everyone's school is doing mine was godly.
1)Open campus - want to go out for lunch, No Problem!
2)PDA rules - never enforced...heard one of my friends made-out with his GF every class...
3)Clothing bans were to a fairly reasonable degree, mostly to prevent gang clothing(my city doesn't have gangs)
4)I'm not sure what you mean by exams...here in the US(California actually) they have High School Exit exams...but they're a joke, I think a 6th grader could pass those. SAT's on the other hand...you do those whenever you want.
5)I got nothing.

I got in trouble a few times...mostly for computer-related reasons reasons
once for ditching ONE class ONCE(that was Middle School though)
and once for playing poker at school...without money...just for fun.

My school has the "six inch rule". You basically couldn't touch a member of the opposite sex by being flirty or in a relationship. I got detention twice and threatened with suspension for just hugging my girlfriend. It did depend on the teacher though, a lot didn't care but some of them were right dicks.

How the fuck do they have this power? They can't do that, that's against all morals!

What is the world coming too?! Now discrimination is a part of the curriculum, I see. Perfect. More bullshit rules being made up by schools. Just what we need.

They're really enforcing it? I go to an all boys school, but we just get an awkward laugh from a passing teacher if we ever hug.

I've realized that, dispite the awful funding, the school I attend is actually pretty good as far as high schools go, though with anew principle that might change soon...

My school has gone pretty crazy with internet restrictions. On google, we can't search "Mona Lisa" because "Mona" is a restricted search word.

My school wouldn't allow hoodies because we could be holding weapons in the hood.

Same reason they wouldn't allow cargo pants.

My current school's internet regulations bans Mangafox.com and categorizes it as a "sex" site. That's just something that made me go "WTF?" since only a small part of the mangas there are about sex.

OH! Here's a perfect page about this kind of thing:

You shouldn't be hugging, if you're having trouble with that then you should see a psychiatrist on your clingy mindset.
