The Less We Know About Each Other the Better: Why School PDA is Cringe

BY ANNA YELLECH
STUDENT LIFE OUTSIDE EDITOR
​
     From stairwells to hallways, every year I witness high school couples engaging in some sort of public display of affection. Why do teenagers feel the need to release their freaky emotions at 7 a.m. as I walk into school? I truly don’t understand. But as someone who believes in voicing what many are too scared to say, I’m here to tell you: PDA is cringe.
     Love is a feeling everyone wants to experience, and having that one person who loves you back is even better. Hugs, kisses, and holding hands are all ways we show affection for someone special. I think it's cute when couples express their love, but when it happens at school, it often crosses into a different territory—it's just pure lust. Heavy petting, making out, and getting close to “no-no squares” are the kinds of scenes we've all seen at some point.
​     When I witness these moments, I’ll admit that I judge the couple for putting their relationship on display for me and the other 2,500 students at this school. I do not want to know!
     I’m not against couples, but I do dislike it when they lack self-respect and feel the need to engage in such intimate acts at school. It makes me wonder if these couples ever consider that we are in an educational building, where the goal is to possess knowledge for the future. Yet, some students seem more focused on their babe than getting that A.
     As an advocate against freaky behavior for teens in school, I’ve gathered some anonymous quotes about the most cringe-worthy freaky-maxxing  things students have witnessed within the Charger walls:

• “At the kickoff football game, I saw a couple making out intensely under the bleachers.”
• “During Earth Science, I saw two kids hugging in the middle of the hall. Every time I went to the bathroom, they would start getting super close—I'm talking aggressively.”
• “This guy walked his girlfriend to class and told her to ‘stay’ like a dog, all crazy.”
• “Two students were sharing spaghetti by eating it from each other’s mouths.”
• “A guy was leaning against the locker, and his girlfriend pressed him against the wall.”
• “During the mosh pit when Skee Yee, two people stopped dancing to stick their tongues down each other’s throats.” 
• “ This couple left a class together then he kissed her right after leaving, like calm down she ain’t going no where,”

     To ease any discomfort if this article was too much to handle: the moral of the story is that school PDA is unnecessary! I encourage you to keep your affection private when you start a relationship. Please don’t showcase your rizz techniques in the hallways. Thank you!

Club Rush!!!​

BY LILY HERSCH
EDITOR IN CHIEF
HEADLINE NEWS EDITOR

     Walking into Corner Canyon Club Rush, you are surrounded with tables and tables offering unique, interesting clubs to join. DECA, Speech and Debate, Drama, various language clubs, sports clubs, and many more are offered to be a part of.
     For two days during both lunches, students are encouraged to visit the different tables and find a club to be involved in. These clubs are a vital part of CCHS; for both students who do and don’t play school sports, they are given an opportunity to explore their interests and make friends in the process. Christian Girl Autumn and this annual event is only another reason CCHS students are excited for the changing of the seasons.
     Per Benjamin Franklin International School, “School clubs are key to developing critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, leadership, and collaboration skills, among others. Students are challenged to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions to existing problems.”
     Though, not all students present during these lunches are genuinely interested in the objectives of these clubs. Appearances are misleading; lines for each and every table are several feet long. Though, when you take a closer look, you’ll notice some of these students are merely big and greedy; they only crowd around tables with sweet incentives, ignoring the actual club entirely.
     When I asked junior Reagan Kannaian, co-president of Science National Honor Society Club, how she felt about this, she replied “It gets people to at least learn about the club and consider joining it, so it’s still bringing in new members.”
     I can vouch for this. As one of the captains of CCHS Speech and Debate, I monitored the table while cotton candy was being made. It was animalistic; I watched as masses of the multicolored candy floss twirl in the machine, serving the masses without break for the entire 41 minute period.
     Stella Cianflone, president of HOSA club, comments “Club Rush is a great time for everyone to see what fits their interests and make going back to school a little easier.”
     If you weren’t able to visit Club Rush, there are still plenty of opportunities to become involved. Asking a member or scanning the flier QR codes in the halls are both easy ways to join and learn about the various CCHS organizations.
