The NYTimes published an article on the front page of the website about this crazy new phenomenon spreading amongst teenagers. It's called hugging. Apparently it warranted the calling in of sociologists, psychologists, and other experts to deconstruct why teenagers are now hugging each other as oppose to high fives.
I'm sorry, high-fives, but you'll have to move into the corner of has-been trends along with the mop while you watch the hug and the swiffer bask the limelight of cool.
Seriously?
It's hugging, for pete's sake and it's nothing new. I hugged in high school and that was a good ten years ago. There was nothing substantial in this article to warrant an entire story. If there was a sexual harrassment charge stemming from what started out as an innocent hug, then okay. But instead, there's George G. White junior high school, which banned hugging altogether. Ridiculous.
