Some people just hate hugs

I'm not a fan of hugs. Sure, I'll hug my grandmas, my aunts and other family that I am legally required to hug (at least that's what my parents told me when I was a kid).

And apparently some schools are with me on this trend. From the New York Times:

schools from Hillsdale, N.J., to Bend, Ore., wary in a litigious era about sexual harassment or improper touching — or citing hallway clogging and late arrivals to class — have banned hugging or imposed a three-second rule.

Parents, who grew up in a generation more likely to use the handshake, the low-five or the high-five, are often baffled by the close physical contact. “It’s a wordless custom, from what I’ve observed,” wrote Beth J. Harpaz, the mother of two boys, 11 and 16, and a parenting columnist for The Associated Press, in a new book, “13 Is the New 18.”

I'll be the first to say it: Teenagers are weird.
