A couple macking on each other in the hallway, the half-chewed food in someone’s mouth, or a person wearing clothes that don’t quite fit are unfortunately things that are common in the halls.

Usually, walking between classes without seeing a couple playing tonsil hockey is a luxury. Although this is a common sight in the high school scene, deep down most students do not want to see that. Showing PDA is disrespectful to everyone involved, the couple doing the deed and the people around them who are forced to see it. It is something that should happen in private, not for the whole world to see.

It is not uncommon to see someone’s food in their mouth while sitting in the cafeteria. This is especially disgusting and makes most people lose their appetites right away. Students should have common courtesy for others around them, and realize their peers do not want to see their pizza after it has gone into their mouth.

When someone is walking down the hallway with a shirt so tight it makes other people feel uncomfortable, it is a problem. There is a time when people should stop trying to fit into clothes from freshman year and invest in some roomier apparel. It is better to get some larger clothes than to wear tight clothes that show a bit too much. Let’s not forget about pants, which should also be the right size so they are not hanging half way down someone’s legs or squeezing the blood out of their lower body.

These are not things anyone wants to see. It’s time for students to have respect and courtesy for their peers by showing it to themselves first.
