Why do Teachers and Parents make a huge deal out of PDA?

i dont know why My Teachers at the school or Parents Freak out about PDA, Some Teachers here don't mind it, but some do. and i think it makes alot of Students here are uncomfortible.

It can make other people feel uncomfortable, and parents in particular probably worry about something like 'if thats what they do in public, i dont want to think about what they do in private' and since they are older most of them are from a much more conservative generation. The other students or parents that have been made uncomfortable by this compain to the authorities at school and then the school has to enforce it.

The teachers might mind because they really don't want to see their students getting fondled, or because of a past experience. The parents, the dad's may be more strict about that because dads don't like to see their daughters with another girl. I don't show any PDA at school with my boyfriend because the teachers will get mad. Because, they don't really want to watch all the couples making out and stuff. Holding hands is ok, but not french kissing.

Because you shouldn't be kissing your bf/gf in school! You have time to do that before and after school. There is more to life than that, and your teachers want you to get an education! So stop the kissing! Read and learn!
