Hugs. Are. Good.

That's right people.

A study has been done (I don't know where...don't ask) and it has been proven that a person needs four hugs a day in order to grow emotionally. Surprised? I know you didn't see something like this coming. :)

But think about it for a bit and you'll see that it actually makes sense. Look, here is the list of reasons people hug each other:

- As a show of support.
- In happiness.
- To greet an old friend.
- To say goodbye.
- Just to show someone that you care.

There are more reasons, but I would be here for a while. These are the main ones. If I have missed another one, just leave a comment or something. As you can see, all the reasons are linked to emotions. Therefore the above statement makes complete sense.

Can you imagine going your whole life without a single hug? Not only would you be a lonely person, but you'd also be angry because you basically wouldn't know how to love.

No love = No feeling

You would basically fail as a person. Sure, this is an extreme example, but it wakes people up to the reality of the situation. I'm gonna have to bring up that camp again...

When we were at the camp, it kept being forced down our throats that hugging was good. There was this one 'venting' session where either your counsellor or your team mates would yell at you if they thought that you hadn't been giving everything you got. It was loud and involved a lot of banging and crying. Emotions again. The rants would also have to end with 'I love you' and a hug. See what I mean??

The point that they were trying to get across was emotional 'completion' is a vital part of success. I agree. So you know what this means right? Now that hugs are illegal at school, you are gonna have to find another way to get the support. Or do it illegally. ;)
