A-Roll When you walk through any high school throughout America it seems as though you will see at least one couple in the corners of a hallway “locking lips.” –Alex “When I see a couple standing there holding each other I feel awkward… and I feel awkward for them…” –Nate Though we all have different opinions on PDA many of us can agree that when we see it we can’t help but look… - Alex “I walk to my locker and the same couple is there every day, and yet every day I come around the corner and my eyes are glued. Not by choice but it’s something hard to ignore.” –Jon But not only do we see these public displays of affection in school they seem to be in many other public places. For instance the Mall, a movie theater, or a park. - Alex “I see it everywhere I go!” –Nate Reactions vary from person to person. -Alex “I like to try and make it awkward for them so they know what I’m going through… I will sometimes yell out things at them like ”Get a room.”” – Danny “All I do is walk by and shake my head…” - Jon The world is overwhelmed with acts of PDA, whether you are involved or just walking by. If you do it all the time maybe try to pace yourself, and if it’s something you are against maybe you could try it sometime. Reporting for the flash this is Alex. –Alex
