Quoted from dara
I think schoolies sounds bad, I don't want to go, to the coast. Not to say I wouldn't go elsewhere.. but not the sunshine/gold coast. BTW most Qld people are 17 when they finish school, but nsw people are 18 :S
You should of written 'most NSW school leavers are 18' not all are Dara. My daughter was born in April and after year 12 would of turned 18 the following April. Several of her friends were in the same situation. I am happy to say my daughter never had any desire to have a week long holiday at any schoolies venue. We were on the Sunny Coast by then and she worked as well as attending school, from the age of 14. She has made up for the lack of schoolies since turning 18 though. And YES Dara, it is the adult or non-school leavers who ruin it (mostly) for the real school leavers. |

Yes, those outrageous kids shouldn't be out at all.
What is schoolies about? Sex, drug, stealing, and destroying properties. |

Now you are fooling yourself . . of course many of the 'schoolies' use/take drugs to this event.

Come back and talk to us when you are 21 . . you will look back on that comment with deep embarrassment . .  Just wait 'til you have given life to a baby and nurtured it, cared for its health, educated it and loved it fully for 17-18 years . . then he/she goes off to 'schoolies' with thousands of other teens . . and is returned to you either dead. . or worse . . brain injured for life . . just remember, he was having fun!! and it was all in the spirit of youthful game playing  . . you will only understand the fear of parents . .when you are one. |

If I have kids, I wouldn't allow my boy to get wild with schoolie as an excuse, and I would tell my daughter how easy it is to get drugged then raped.
A sane people won't stay in the same accommodation with uncontrollable schoolie kids. They showed no respect to any properties and expected to get trapped in the fire. |

Hmm, I can't remember hearing about anyone killed out there... or even getting brain damage. And neither have I heard anything of houses on fire or property damage... |

But Gizmo, what should the people who finished Year 12 do instead? I mean, they have just finished a 13-year long stage of their life that they worked and learnt extremely hard under. Isn't it a bit too conservative to just leave them locked up at home, and be anti-social? But I guess you have your own views and opinion, and I do respect that.
It's sad for the guy in the coma... but that's 1/50,000 people or so... no more of a chance than someone getting killed or injuried in a car accident. In life we sometimes have to take that risk. And it's not compulsory to go... if you don't like it you can leave at anytime. If the parents don't like it, they can stop them.
I see it more as a big party, a big reward of some sort than a big brawl as others might like to describe it as. |

I agree with what Norman said.
And just because you don't have kids doesn't mean you can't understand. And I didn't mean every adult obviously Giz, just toolies.
Ps just because you are above 21 doesn't make you smarter than someone below 21. |

In SA the kids behaved well.

SOUTH Australia's schoolies celebrations wrap up today with police generally happy with the behaviour of those gathered at Victor Harbor.

Police made more than 40 arrests over the three nights...a police spokesman said only four of those arrested last night were considered schoolies.
