For Teenagers, Hello means 'How About a Hug?'
“A measure of how rapidly the ritual is spreading is that some students complain of peer pressure to hug to fit in…Experts say that over the last generation, boys have become more comfortable expressing emotion, as embodied by the MTV show “Bromance,” which is now a widely used term for affection between straight male friends.”I love that grown-ups are so baffled by this.
(and for the record, there’s never been anything “boring” about the high-five.)
I don’t see how this is any different than when I was in middle school. Hugs are important. Hugs make me smile. When I was in college I met a guy who gave the most amazing hugs. I had a huge crush on him for months because of his hugging abilities.
Until I found out he was gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I love hugs. I give hugs. To everyone willing. Want one?
