Every school and district has their own policies on PDA's, and they have their own reasons for establishing those rules.

It seems archaic in this day in age, but some people are still offended when they see PDA's, and it makes them uncomfortable.

I know you want to express your feelings, she will appreciate if you get creative about it. Whenever you see her, hand her a little note that tells her what she means to you, or that simply says "I love you". She will appreciate those things, and they are things that she can hold and keep with her whenever, and by having them she will know that the next time you are able to express your feelings through a touch or kiss that you will do so.

You can try to talk with your principle, but don't expect that to change anything, and don't show your hatred of the situation - that will only make you appear immature. Approach him maturely. You could even present research to him on how other cultures regularly express themselves through PDA's with family and friends, not just love interests.
 
I'm in 8th grade, so I'm starting to fall in love. Well I did, and this girl is great. In class, I would put my arms on her shoulders when she's sitting down, and give her a nice smile. I'd end up getting in trouble. Now, I completly understand getting in trouble for that, given the circumstances that I was in a class. This is where the question comes into play.
Lunch...No classes, and almost absoulute freedom. Now in the lunch line, I would hug her from behind, and tell her I love her. Well, I'd get in trouble for that. I'd hold her hand walking to the basketball courts, but get in trouble. At my school, even poking someone in the arm is considered PDA. I just don't get why you can't show a girl how much you care during LUNCH! When it shouldn't matter. So do you think that something simple like holding your girlfriend's hand, or putting your hands over her shoulders and holding her hands while shes sitting DURING LUNCH should be allowed? I think it should.
 
yeah it's most definitely ridiculous. you can easily solve this problem by asking her to hang out after class though.

thats crazy! i'd take it up with your principle or something, let him know that it upsets you and maybe you both can come to circumstances. if not, you're almost outta middle school! in high school stuff like that isnt a big deal anymore and theres more freedom to do whatever.
 
I can understand where your school is coming from, seeing as you are so young. However, as long as the girl is not uncomfortable with this attention, and as long as it is in small doses, I don't believe your school should be so upset about it.
 
I think your school is nucking futs. BUT I'd follow the rules and wait till high school and they should care a lot less! Sounds like you really like her just don't take it too far too fast!
Happy loving to you two!
 
That stuff should be allowed. The arms over shoulder I can see being not allowed... but everything else should be totally fine. And your teachers should stop caring in highschool so dont worry about it
