  Case: New Teacher
I was walking in the hallway while classes were changing. I happened to glance to my left and two students who were a couple feet away were all over each other. I have zero experience on how to handle this type of situation and I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of students, so I chose to ignore the situation. Other students were around these students and the moment was awkward. The students did notice my presence, however they didn't know who I was; just that I had noticed them and probably looked as if I was irked.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would approach this situation with the school rules in mind. I would inform these students that this type of behavior is not allowed in school and just as breaking other school rules the students will have to face the consequences. I think by approaching this situation with the school polices in mind rather than the social or personal aspects it will eliminate the awkwardness of the situation.
