The West Australian Newspaper recently had a Year 12 student blog his schoolies week. For those of you who don't know what this is, it's basically a party week after final Year 12 exams are finished.
I am stunned by some of the stuff one there! He chronicles having random sex with girls he doesn't care for, glories in throwing up after drinking nothing but alcohol for a few days, several times events are called boring unless you are pissed (drunk)... These guys need Jesus!
I guess when you live for nothing, then it's easy to see why you live for getting so drunk you can't remember the pointless boredom and non-direction your life has.
See it all here
We will have a few year 12 students next year and it's going to be interesting to see how we end up handling schoolies for them... How do we avoid wrapping them in bubble wrap, yet keep them away from a pretty dangerous situation.
Thanks to Mike who blogged this first.
