Guh... me and my friends hugged each other ALL THE TIME.
Then again, I'm a frickin furry. You know us... and our furpiles...

o.O Dang young'uns today. I am glad I missed out on this phenomenon; I am not a big fan of physical contact. ._. I would be one of those ostracized for being non-touchy. XD

I would also be ostracized for not being touchy. I just don't see a need to touch everyone I see every moment of every day.

Weird youngins!

Banning it does seem silly. I think the time limit establishment is okay to help people avoid going overboard. I think categorizing the types of hugs is a bit strange but I don't see too much wrong with it. Hugs happened between my classmates in my high school but social status wasn't attached to it like it seems to be by these kids. I was in an all girls school in the city so I suppose it was a different student dynamic. We didn't have time to come up with 4 different types of hugs. We really just had two kinds one was a typical hug and the other a fist bump and quick hug. Whippersnappers ( ... )
