Sorry it’s long but I could really use the help😂


my guy friend and I have been lowkey talking ever since high school. I say lowkey because it’s only ever been light conversations and “pictures” due to complications in our friend group. We both go to college together too and see each other almost every weekend (not romantically, just with our friends).

Sometimes during the day after class, we will go eat lunch together. Even when our group is eating lunch, we will typically sit next to each other at the table.
We recently matched on Tinder and I thought it was interesting but brushed it off. Typically, in a group setting, he doesn’t really acknowledge me much. He will still say hi to me and doesn’t act uncomfortable or anything. He is very loud and outgoing with our friend group and makes everybody laugh including me. He seems to be “touchy” with everyone else except me (unless if I ask for a hug).
One time I forgot my wallet and he offered to get something for me, which I thought was sweet.

We’ve lightly talked about hooking up but it never ends up happening. I told him that I’m a virgin, which I thought would scare him off, but he was nice and said if I ever wanted to, he would go easy and take it slow. I can't tell if he’s just shy when it comes to his feelings, or if he’s not interested at all. I’m fine if he’s not, because I really value our friendship. I’ve been receiving a lot of mixed signals lately😂

For some that do not know, corporal punishment which is sometimes referred to as physical punishment/physical discipline and has been defined as the use of physical force, no matter how light, to cause deliberate bodily pain or discomfort in response to some undesired behavior. That means in most schools corporal punishment takes the form of a school teacher or administrator striking a student's bottom with a wooden paddle.

And when you were in school did they have corporal punishment or not? And if you were a parent/are a parent how would you react if your child's school decide to use corporal punishment as a discipline?

When I was in the fourth grade, my math/science teacher (at the middle school I attended teachers taught two subjects at once) was a firm believer in corporal punishment. He had this wooden paddle that was taped up cause in the past he did break it while paddling the students and depending on what the student did he would tell the student to go out in the hallway and there he would paddle them. In my class, it was mostly the boys who were paddled and rarely us girls. I was never given the paddle and all I had throughout fourth grade were writing rules so many times on either the chalkboard, whiteboard, or on paper (I wrote "I will not talk during class" probably multiple times).

In the fifth grade all through junior high school, the punishment was both the paddle and ruler except it would be the principal/headmaster doing the punishment. Sometimes the teachers would be allowed to paddle the students but it was the principal/headmaster mostly.

Since I am from the south, corporal punishment is still legal and the school does have the right to administer it if they feel the need to, and while in high school I had some teachers that did.
