Everyone has a beautiful memory about school which is hard to forget．Among many things，relationships are the hardest to leave behind．Some schools try to stop students'puppy love in different ways．Anything about"love"relationship is not allowed．For example，a middle school in Fu'an，Fujian Province forbids（禁止） boys and girls to sit together for meals and forbids boys to look at girls for a long time；a middle school in Luohe，Henan Province sets rules that boys and girls should meet in bright places with at least 5 other classmates，and if they meet in private they will be asked to go home with parents for more than a week and even advised to leave school，a middle school in Jinan，Shandong Province forbids everyone to send food and gifts to or receive them from the opposite sex（异性）．It also forbids students to help the opposite sex with bags and coats and requires"44cm"distance between boys and girls．
Some students are not satisfied with such rules．"Why should we have strict places for different sexes to eat？It's not using bathrooms!"Some people who care about the intelligence development of the students say that they should be more creative with fewer rules．For this，I'd like to say that middle school students are going through puberty（青春期）．It's normal for them to have some feelings for the opposite sex．Schools should provide correct guidance and education instead of giving simple and cruel rules and asking the students to follow．
