Week 1: Discussion

 

1. What are acceptable ways of public display of affection? What should or should not be done in public? 

- It is perfectly normal to show off your partner and showcase your exclusivity but for the sake of the public’s sanity, some displays of affection should be left behind closed doors. Some acceptable ways of showing affection are by smack kiss on cheeks, hugs, giving compliments, and comforts. However, long kisses in front of the audience, touching the private area, and shouting loud to express love to your special someone is very unacceptable. Showing intimacy and affection to your partner has the right place to be done. If you are not sure whether or not an action is okay in any social setting, you should probably hold off until you are in a more private situation.

 

2. If you are in that situation how would you react? 

- This public display of affection might feel good for the people in the relationship but may create an awkward situation for most people who get caught unwillingly witnessing it. For me, I will react depending on the situation. It would be better if I create some space to show respect to the couple if their way of showing affection is acceptable. There's nothing wrong with a little PDA but if some couple is too affectionate in public, I will confront and educate them in a proper manner. I will tell them to show general etiquette skills and to be aware of their surroundings and circumstances.

 

3. Why do we need to understand the acceptable and unacceptable teenage relationships? 

-Teenage relationships often involve exploring physical intimacy and sexual feelings. The relationships we have with friends, romantic partners, family, and teachers have a significant impact on our mental health and wellbeing. They play an important role in young people's day-to-day lives so it is very important to know about teenage relationships. Understanding these things may lead us to awareness and control. In addition, involvement in a relationship at an early age can create positive and negative outcomes that may affect the growth and development of a person, so one must have deep knowledge and understanding about teenage relationships.
