School Rules

[ebony15]

Its Part of Rules and Regulations that No to BOY AND GIRL RELATIONSHIPS.

To Some this is probably stupid because its not known to you guys..

But to some its ok..

So I was saying..

There's this guy ... we liked each other..
we were together for like a week. But because THE School people like the Faculty/Teachers/Dorm Deans are like really monitoring the students...so The guy is having a hard time.

But you know, Even if i liked the guy.. Im gonna follow the rules.
I was a little hurt because I really liked the guy.. but I'm deciding to control my feelings and do whats right.

Besides- what should I do..I cant just ignore the guy.. sheesh:confused:

Sounds pretty strict to me. And unlcear.

I'd find out what they're defining as 'relationships' and where they enforce it. Do they mean that guys and girls can't be 'friends'? How do they determine when it moves from 'friends' to 'relationships'? And, is this just in school, or is it everywhere?

I understand that you don't want to be in violation of the rules, but its pretty ambigious here, I think before you do anything or make any decisions, you need some clarification.

They probably mean something about PDA (public displays of affection). I doubt that you have to ignore him completely, or else you'd be in separate schools, right? I don't know much about the Philippines or customs there, but you mention dorms. Are you living at the school? If you are, with boys and girls at the same school (different dorms I would imagine), then I'm guessing it's really more about the PDA thing.

A lot of schools aren't fond of extended hugs, and prohibit things like kissing. Hand-holding may depend on how strict the school is. All of the schools I've gone to, once you get to middle school (age 11 for most kids), always give out a little packet at either orientation or on the first day of school which lists the rules. It covers dress code and things like that, but it also mentions anything about "no public displays of affection on school property", if it applies. Do you have something like that? If you do, check it out, see what you can figure out.

You see how you and the guy get along outside of school. Keep your private life separate from your work.

if u truly like each other, ull find a way around the rules and perhaps with the rules. cutting each other off isn't an answer.

Same thing at my school. Everybody just goes behind a corner at lunch and does all that great shit. They never get caught. Just do whatever you are going to do where there isn't alot of people and for sure not anyone that works for the school.

[ebony15]

Well the guy and me arent talking.
People misinterpret things right away. ...even though you're just talking---they think you already like each other! .. if you're caught talking to somebody they think its a crime or something.. Sheeeesh ..!
The thing is... school is what Im prioritizing..
And THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT NO BODY IS PERFECT.. GOSH..

The school is mixed. THe girls and boys dorm are on Campus. Its just sad that you cant talk normally or hang out with boys and girls mixed together.
