Teen Hugging Panic! infoMania

[brwneydgirl70]

group hug everyone?

[MrJrbenner]

I don't see anything wrong with hugging

[Sdog7765]

....I can't tell if this is real or a parody of some sort.

[Metal8Lover]

man fuck them do what you fucking want be indenpend cause in the next few years you will be everyones BITCH your bosses your shiftmangers your local PDs your professors everyones and it will never end so injoy

[Deathbreak911]

I fuckin' lol'd. Than you so much for this.

[SadieRayy]

Lol Drinking Zima? Psshh...

[TheSuperKittyGirl]

'How did you greet your friends...a handshake, a high-five?'

Sorry, we are REAL PEOPLE :)

[DavySigfusson]

Yeah, I totally support this... and also banning milk... we know that probably 95% of all drug users start drinking milk so we should obviously ban milk because milk is obviously a gateway drug!

... but seriously if your gonna start banning shit left and right your just one step closer to the thing that the U.S. is famous for hating on.... Communism!

[geminikutie6141987]

America has lost its mind

[MrThahey]

virtually all serial killers eat bread. If we ban bread, we will have no more serial killers.

[hvkv0000]

its funny how they always manage to blame everything to rap music... :D

[CerealKillahNZ]

ummmmmmm... Hugging isnt a norm in the USA?? Are you kidding? God, the girls all give each other and the guys a kiss on the cheek over here ....

... Americans are fuckin weird; Sorry but its true!!!

[villanonickXgmail]

@CerealKillahNZ

No ned to be sorry. Some people want us to be thrown back to the dark ages. *coughcough*FOX "news"*coughcough*

[DavySigfusson]

@CerealKillahNZ

Gaww.. come'ere you!

[danagirl23]

wow... only in america...

[DrayneGames]

HUGGING: SERIOUS BUSINESS

[millahnna]

They seriously think this is new? I'm in my mid-30s and hugging the homies was totally normal when I was in high school.

[sev121993]

I totally agree with the no hugging rule. I am sick and tired of the kids these days always trying to be hip and in with the latest fad, and they need to realize that hugging is taking it just too far. They think they can be like 50 cent and other famous rappers, who are known for hugging, and it just needs to stop. Don't they know what hugging can lead to? WHAT IF A MALE HUGS A FEMALE, AND HE CAN FEEL HER TITS? WHAT THEN? HE MIGHT GET TURNED ON AND RAPE HER RIGHT THERE! THAT WOULD BE BAD!

[brightshadow121]

@sev121993 calm down ahaha.

[villanonickXgmail]

@sev121993

I lol'd

Satire 'five! *snaps*

[BlueDotti]

@sev121993 your cooked..

[Tinker13ee]

That is the most ridiculus thing I've ever heard of. Hugs promote closeness, comfort, compasion and a feeling of acceptance and belonging among friends. Its a positive type of physical contact. Have these f***ing retarded school officials got nothing better 2 do then take away self-expression of happiness. I believe in closeness & emotion and going to Hug my friends whenever the f*** I feel like it. Did people ever think that if more people expressed love and affection the world might be better

[DeviR412]

thats retarded! glad that's not happening in my country!

[newbietuber99966]

its not just in America, I was in an international school in singapore and hugging was considered PDA so it wasnt allowed...

[brt5470]

Fuck the hug police.

[KarenSaysRAWR]

When i was in 8th grade i got detention for hugging my friend because it counted as "PDA" :| Everyone hugs and kisses their friends. I don't get all these rules banning it.

[Nicquerica]

OMG ARE THEY SERIOUS??? I'm 30 years old, I greeted my friends with a hug and kiss ALL THE TIME when I was in high school!!! What's so wrong with that??

[iheartemoboys700]

dame i agree with loveemotedybears we need r hugs i do 2 hug all my emo friends and guy friends and girl friends its stupet that we have 2 have datichin just 4 hugging uugghh this ppl r become more and more strict grrr

[loveemotedybears]

i hug al my friends and guy freinds i think its stupet 2 make that a legal. i have 2 have my hugs lol but relly

[mexican4life1990]

WTF?!? 50 cent?! holy shit the figured out his subliminal message HUGGING! Fucking Morons

[StFido]

god they should cover my school if you get caught hugging for more than three second you can get suppended

[LithiumFuufy]

Is this, seriously, one of America's biggest problems? We could be curing cancer... but GOD FORBID someone hugs someone =/

[CrazyProductions221]

DARE is retarded

[struckbysilence]

aside all the hugging ban comments, don't you think that hugging someone every single time you see them, as that principal said, every 40 minutes is a little... exaggerated? Hugging i think is becoming devalued in a sense.

[Nicquerica]

No, I don't think so at all. When you're hugging someone you're showing your love for your friend. As long as you and your friends don't have a problem with physical affection then I don't see the harm in it. When I was in high school my friends and I greeted each other with hugs ALL THE TIME!

[Nillavannilalilla]

I dont even know what to say, other than school boards must really having nothing better to do.

[TheBratKingJareth]

This just makes me ashamed to be an American. When did the Victorian era start again?

[LocoGC]

Wow Some People In Us Are Stupid...

[loveemotedybears]

will i hug my freinds and guys and they hug me bake all the time when they see me lol::))

[chavez3737]

you know breathing leads to thinking, which leads to moving, which leads to hugging, which leads to touching, and touching means sex which leads to babies and babies cause caner and global warming as do the step that lead to them so we should ban breathing

[koishiou]

What the hell is wrong with America? Seriously.

Are they afraid that hugging is giving kids unnatural thoughts and they will be so unable to control it that they will start having sex in the halls?

[roxusan]

koishiou--- Why are they only banning hugging? Let's ban hand-holding, staring at other people, sitting together in the same room, and talking. Better safe than sorry...!

[koishiou]

Well someone has to end this orgy of contact making that's going on in our schools.

[mimimurlough]

OMG, hugging is trendy! Teens are into platonic physical contact, run for your lives!

[PlanetPissEmployee]

Damn, if hugging is bad now, I wonder what our adult America thinks of the 'kisses on both cheeks'. It must be classified as rape.

I mean, being in America is great, but we got some stupid people.

[ComeonToshie]

wtf is wrong with hugging?

[roxusan]

Everybody knows what hugging leads to: more hugging. Oh noes, run for the hills!

[NexesVertali]

The hell? That's actually pretty hilarious. Well, at least now I know why people were telling me off for hugging my friends. xD

[teacupears47]

At my school hugging was banned too. We really didn't follow that rule.

[MuffinGirl94]

I know!

MY school had this rule when we can only hug for "2 Missisipis" But I think it was completely banned by the end of the year.

Whats wrong with hugging? Next they're going to freak out about kisses on the cheek.

[ldcreasey1990]

haha we are okay until we greet each other with a quickie

[fusebox41]

This is the most retartedest f-ing thing I have ever heard of.

[fusebox41]

This site contains evil trojan viruses!

[KeanaLeeC]

oh wow yeah hugging is soo horrible..just shutup old news people

[Staliria]

ugh.... adults these days... hugging is PERFECTLY FINE!!! you aint gonna get disseases or anything from a hug... GAWD!

[heresy1987LV]

What the hell is wrong with America? I come from Eastern Europe and when I went to high shool we were allways hugging whenever we met any of our friends.

I think you should hug even more - emotional warmth has never done anyone harm.

[daisyinwinter]

ok lets be honest here. i was in france lately and hugs are bad here. In france they do the kiss kiss thing for hello and goodbye. So on the awkward scale i think Canada is on the right track. Parents here need to back the f off because hugs are here to stay :)

[tahoejunkie133]

I think adults just don't have anything better to do than reprimand younger people

[apexpark]

bavarian dingleberry! HAHAAHAH

[bknygurl]

this is so stupid, I swear if its not one thing, its another. Adults, when it comes to us (teens) always over react to the stupidest things, and find fault with every freaking thing that becomes a trend, im tired of it, hugs dont hurt anyone, so nothing should be done about it... ugh its the teens lives, we should be able to HUG whoever its not even bad

[shadowkitty1988]

Bans on hugging...haha...I've never heard anything more ridiculous in my life! Schools should get on students for drugs and weapons and harassment, etc...not hugging.

I don't understand why schools could even think of banning hugs. I mean, kids those ages NEED hugs, they're emotional wrecks!!

[DayTripper0000000]

I've always hugged my friends...

[Smartassawhip]

We did a lot of hugging in the 80's too. I have 2 teenagers and if hugging is the worst thing they ever do I have no problem with it. I showed my kid this and he said his school just banned hugging too.

[Passion4Performing]

I think hugging is fine! I hug all the friggin time! I think in the halls there should be quick hugs not lasting more than TWENTY seconds. I think its inappropriate to have PDA hugs, but hugging freinds when they are sad and stuff should not be banned! at my school the couples just can't kiss while hugging ( they do anyway) which i think is a perfectly adequate rule. 3 second hugs......WTC? 20 second hugs are best for in the halls !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gugzusamurai]

why are you saying there should be all these random rules? Hugs shouldn't be banned. period.

[Pimpstrike2009]

old people are stupid

[KoUgRiE]

theres nuthing wrong with hugging...it beta than drugs! but seriously if u banned huggin then how r u gonna hav world peace?! dude does tht even make any sense?! wtf? anyway i just dnt agree to banned hugs!

[RyoSanadaOfWildfire]

Those protestors need to be bitch smacked.

seriously.

you think im kidding

[xuten]

...

i dhunno

but the "hugging"

i've always done that

don't know what's the big deal about it..

[KotaroInu510]

It's not news..

It's CNN..

[jaaxxor]

i dont think im gunna hug anyone if they r gunna call it generation H cuz it sounds to close to Prep H

[coMpLekS1]

haha true

[alext1129]

hahah WOW! hugging is a crime.honestly i hug so much, i hug all my friends, from guys to girls, and i never heard of all these terms for hug its gay that everything we do is so wrong to all these people. hugs dont really take up that much time. and i never started hugging because 50cent hugged his buddies. and its funny to me that they say we are so violent and shit but when we do show we are loving, by hugging our friends, it gets BANNED and CRITICIZED!

[sameltoes]

Yea... Isnt there something better than....THIS to report about!? That was ridiculous....the news channels are ridiculous....all the rage.... phenomenon..... generation H??? The names are ridiculous as well, who made these up? I DONT WANT HUGS! Get ur damn hands off me! I bet the news channels r just trying to get the reverse effect of negative news stories & get EVERYONE to hug....I dont want that.....hugs r okay I aint hatin on hugs, but all of it is ridiculous. New slogan: Hatin on Hugs!

[jaaxxor]

lol luv the name (your user name)

[chanceler34]

JESUS CHRIST! not the hugs, dam rap music! (banning hugs? really? really!?!)

[commandokidnick]

if hugs are drugs, i'm an addict! =D

i bet that the people who ban hugs, ironicly never had a hug and is just jealous.

[raikiri120]

What the fuc# I can't believe that someone would ban hugging i mean really?

[newbuddz]

This is news? As if a hug is new? 2 Occasions for hugs? Airports and Family Reunions...but not being married or dating? Are we going to outlaw Married couples from hugging? I've heard the phrase: "Keep your hands to yourself", but is this really necessary? I was told that for punching my brother, or something, but never for being nice.

[CalvinDWalker]

apparently, it may promote sex, as school staff are willing to believe

[Parry137]

DEATH TO HUGGERS!

GOD IS GREAT!

Oh fuck lol, why the fuck would these people ban hugging?

[jeantwisted]

i always wanted a D.A.R.E t-shirt. idk why

[KevinLounsberry]

What the hell? what the fuck is this? is this a joke? This has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard people protesting about.

And are there really that many people hugging as a greeting for over 2 minutes? check on your watch to see how long that is. it's a pretty long time.

Not that there's anything wrong with it whatsoever.

Old folks need to grow up, we aren't in the age of ankle porn anymore.

[0Krusnik0]

Ankle porn ftw.

[ellnino]

is this for real???

i dont understand, i'm from europe...

[r0q]

"Hugs, not drugs?"

I'll have the drugs, thank you.

[DarkPascual]

Those crazy kids and the hugging and making human contact...

In the good old days, we didn't touch each other...Hell, I haven't talked to my wife since we met each other, 60 years ago...and I like it...

[gianthobo123]

thats true

[fobfan0000]

so, instead do you want us to punch each other in the face?! "happy birthday!" ****PUNCH!!

[VideoArmyTV]

Oh, kids these days and their wild hugging binges...

[CRVbajs]

Huggin banned, lol xD

Like WTF?

[Deetinator]

We ban hugging yet give out condoms. What the hell.

[cutesunflower1212]

if somebody wasnt hugged for a long time.. that person will be very depress

[Aelore]

Why don't they just put everyone in bubbles?

[viscera0eyes]

that would end so many problems! i could roul home the highway if i miss the last train home!

[BeavaxBxProductions]

what the fuck >.> no hugging?

[ncfwhitetigress]

Are you fucking kidding me? People getting in trouble for hugging? The fuck is the world coming to?????

[ncfwhitetigress]

Wait... this is NEW?

[OlgaDePolga]

detention for hugging people? stuff like that only happens in the states....!

[Deetinator]

And france.

[OlgaDePolga]

you serious?

[brangsta]

Remember when teens were into smoking weed, getting pregnant and drinking Zima?

Yeah, I remember like it was yesterday! Cept for the Zima part...

Oh yeah that really was yesterday >.>

[negkreyol21]

hugging today could lead to prostitution tomorow or ear fucking

[ncfwhitetigress]

Totally.

[marklamete]

Hugs? That's a little stupid...

[wtfneiic]

oh my fucking god ..sorry to some of you but ill generalize this: AMERICA = STUPIDITY AT ITS BEST! lol who the fuck invented HUG POLICE? wtf.. riight! lets make birds show their id while crossing borders.. i mean seriously.. how stupid can you get? i wanna meet the guys "responsible" for this.. and: WHAT THE FUCK CAN THEY DO if i hug someone? is it their bussines? no! i mean if some cop came to tell me ill like pay 20€ for hugging my gf id just laugh in his face and point him to primary school

[artemxartem]

isnt this a joke?

[ncfwhitetigress]

Unfortunately, no.

[bimboyren]

OMG really now... let the kids hug and get over it already

[subbed2you]

Lol fuck school..

[MaiLouIsLegend]

hahaha when hugs go wrong!

Whoever tries to ban hugs are just assholes who dont get hugs themselves.

[hekata5]

I think it's something in USA cultural borders but... what does a "hug person" mean? We all hug each other for one reason or another...

How can you ban hugs? The very idea is stupid. So - violence is OK, hugs must go away???

[evvee345]

Right! now you understand it! that is america!

[duhastmesh94]

omg, what the hell? Would they rather us shooting eachother with guns then hugging? What do they think we're going to do, stab the person we're hugging? What?

[starwarsfanfreak]

theres nothing wrong with that

[tink16]

there is nothing wrong to hugging someone

[whhyyyyyyyyyy]

no hugging and how doesnt ever1 see this is tyranny please people wake up I mean im not much of a hugger but please let them hug

[veleah]

what the hell!! i hug my friends all the time.. when i see them in the morning and after school.. its not the big a deal.. weirdos..

[JaakkoAA]

lol @ 1:22 xD

[BlogsofWoolhouse]

sharts...bahahahahahahahahah!

[ISpillMyDrink]

I can't believe her name is sharts! That's epic! Her last name might as well be skidmark.

[Psychomantis4000]

Got linked here from a Forum page. WTH!? Hugging is cooler than the other side of the pillow! (To which I hug also).

If hugging gets banned I guess a good suprise Anal will be the newest fad.

[deathruler24]

thats right kids. drugs are now better then hugs.

[ALALadam]

The hug from behind?

Oh my

:O

[LarnaBabe]

i love hugging :D

[envy66]

wth, lol how does this even make the news? i guess they have nothing to report on anymore, And i cant see how this is new, but hey ok, lol

[skimpy88]

Woaah..this makes me sad...its hug! geezzz...

[zonkara]

i bet a bunch of emos mnade that policy

[grthaws31]

u can tell when the media is running out of stories

[OrangeHat21]

the only problem I see is that news stations don't have enough news

[iluvmichaeljackson10]

At my school if you get caught hugging you will get detention unless you're in front a cool teacher

[AznSlackerType]

In all freakin' seriousness.....seriously???

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

jesus.... how sad our media is....

[thecolormaria]

wow.

next they're going to ban smiles.

then eating

next breathing.

sometimes i hate adults.

[lolyypop11]

i want a hug !

[vanhapelto]

Brutal! The (American) Media just likes to blow everything out or proportion. Getting in trouble for hugging? What the fuck?

[phantomboy]

i guess the media dont have anything better to do... or maybe they lack the skill to actually do real journalism anymore....

[RavenSunnyD]

wtf are they guna get mad about high fiveing next or smilling at each other in the hall way or playing bloody nuckls or mursey (i cant spell)

[KomodoVistas]

*facepalm*

[chrissytinaa]

OKAY! Clearing something up. When guys give a girl a 'bump hug' it is obviously not a bump hug. it is (when a guy and a guy hug) a man hug, but when it is between a girl and a guy, it becomes THE SECRET WAY TO TOUCH THE BOOB.

[TheDorfPally]

Oh no! They've found out the youths main method of rebelling! I guess we shall just have to resort to violence and drug habits instead,

[iLoveMyDS]

Damn, I hug like, all of my friends.

I've got at least a year's detention waiting for me. =/

[xmonmon]

when all else fails, just blame it on music, huh? how ignorant.

[xmonmon]

wtf? this has been around since probably cavemen ages. weirdos.

[richashcrys]

how was this even news worthy???

[angelbby171]

LMFAO

[THEONLYPLAYER]

ok, its official. america is fucked. no offense since i live there but really...wow..

[NoLimitOnImagination]

I see no problem with hugging, its great, but when students protest for hugs, thats a bit much. At the same time though, schools shouldn't ban it.

[nErUaLeNiAlE]

My peers and I have been hugging since 2005 and the news finally found out?

[GStatusOnAir]

well then if they ban hugging then ill go to the next step kissing not a big deal =] lmao

[HybridLee]

lmao "F**k The Hug Police!"

[U3D]

Haha, the Onion makes a great newstory yet again...wait, what?

[pyxlated]

Apparently, stupid is contagious. And I'm not referring to the hugging.

[mixxycan]

Um, not quite, but the clips they feature and then discuss are from REAL news stations. That's the whole point of the show...examining the news and pop culture.

[0justBETHANY]

this is real? WOW! nothing against hugs but i had no idea this was so big and the media cared. this seems like something "the Onion" would talk about. LOL

[IMAYTT]

i do the dirty birdy.

[azulo65]

This isn't panic, it's contagious idiocy.

[catlover1001]

WHAAAAT.

THEEEE.

FUUUUCK.

Wow.

[hdl13]

This is really stupid and must mean a slow news day. I have been hugging since I was in middle school. But my huggs involve a breast squeeze.

[glitter123451990]

why the hell is this in the fkn news?!?!? really?!??! this is fkn stupid!!!

the news should stick to...oh..i dont know..... REAL news!!!! jeezzzzzzzz what has the world come to

[Glitter908]

its a Good DAMN huGG

[bethexohbeth]

i'm going to protest and hug everyone i see. lol

[LOVELOONproductions]

I swear to God...what the hell else does the media want to give hype to to make us forget about the REAL SERIOUS freaking issues going on in America?

[justinmurray24]

this is stupid. would they rather us go out and have sex or do drugs? hugging is harmless, and shouldnt be punishable. this makes me mad.

[samyish]

Hugging is by no means a substitute for sex or drugs.

I wasn't allowed to hug my friends today, I think i'll have some sex to make up for it. <--not the case

I agree with the second part though.

[justinmurray24]

what i meant is that they are saying hugging is bad by banning it, and punishing those students for it.... so im saying, would they rather us do those things? hugging by all means is nothing compared to those thigns, but they are acting like it is, which is bs.

[shurikin93]

I would rather do those. =O

[Ivette1192]

OooKey! *Hug* Lol!

[ThaduisMallowmare]

Wow it really doesn't matter what kids do does it? They'll just get in trouble anyway. If hugging gets banned now, can handshakes be far behind? :P
