Age Poll! (At time of schoolies)

[Ben]

this thread has gone so far off topic.

oh cinna, leavers will probably be a bit earlier than the 27th this year because the 27th is a tuesday and thats not a very cool day to start leavers on, itll probably be on the weekend before it officially begins.

[surfa_Sair]

JohnTee i wouldnt go if i was you.. and that was just for your own safety lol

[Ben]

i reckon,

in WA you wouldnt last long being a 25 year old in a pack of 17 and 18 year old boys.

[JohnTee]

Thanx for the concern. I will leave before schoolies like i do every other year then.

Just wanted to have a look what's schoolies is like as a tourist.

Sorry guys. Fr the pictures and reviews, it's like so much fun.

sux2bu ill c u other 18 yrolds in the clubs

how old is to old?

im 20 this year

can i still come?
it b my 1st time going

[Pirate Pete]

You can come if you aren't a bastard. Judging by the fact that you asked, you are considerate of the other people, which makes it yes.

18 when I went in 2002
19 in 2003
and I'll be 21 in 2005
long legal and no longer required to produce ID, yay
not really going there for schoolies, its just timed the same, seeyas there

17 in 2002
18 in 2003 (my schoolies)
19 in 2004
20 in 2005 (this schoolies).

Week 1 and 2 are pretty good for under 18's with the beach and cavil pumping + last year we had like 7 rooms booked in the one hotel so appartment parties killed it.

Be careful if ur buying alcohol for 17 year olds though, i bought my mate a keg and had about 7 liquor department dudes try to take it off us and give us fines. If they had cops with em we woulda been screwed.

[hanimii]

im going to be 17! but i don't mind i have someone thats 18 in my apartment, but im just excited about meeting people, partying, swimming, and just using the gold coast for all its worth, plus im so happy about going week 1 with beach parties and stuff!! wootwooo, how come theres so much more on week 1? is it cos its qld schoolies and the governemnt pays more or something??

you've got to love this one... 18th birthday... recover... final exam... recover... schoolies... in the space of a week...

[Catch]

I'm still underage - 17 this schoolies

but i love being underage.. I'm really not looking forward to being 18 that much. I wish I could've stayed 16 forever, it was the best age.... I feel like i'm getting old! But still, pretty much everyone that I meet, since I was 14 or 15, has thought that I was around 21. It's the life hahaha

[Woody]

I wish I could stay 17/18 forever, such awesome times.... I cant exactly see a bunch of 80 year olds coming together and drinking spirits till sunset, then after sunset running around causing havok...

I mean hell, I dont even do that! But still - I turn 18 the DAY i get back from schoolies! From now till the end of the year I've got a heap of crap:

Tonight - 18th
Tomorrow Night - 18th
Sunday - Work
Next Friday - First Exam (English, 3 hours)
More 18ths
10th November - Last exam
From there its karate and more 18ths,
25th November - Fly up to Brisbane
28th - Fly back down here
28th - Val Dinner
Next weekend - 4 Knife Defence Seminars
Then leave for Lorne Schoolies
Come back, 18th birthday

From there - it gets into christmas shopping/parties, new years... etc

im gunna b 18, yay
but all my friends are gunna b 17, so yea, im gunna hav to ditch them

[Sammy Wammy]

well at least they'll still all have each other and you'll have no one lol

i am 17 but chicks if u wanna gwet in flirt ya way in its call showing clevege i been doing that since i was 14 just flirting with the bouncer and i get in hehe

[Catch]

wow, you are hard. who would have thought of flirting with the bouncer? You must be like THE ONLY person in brisbane who's been clubbing underage. If only I was as rebellious and underground as you.

[Ben]

how old are schoolies in QLD? is it 17 or 18? or both? coz only 50% of the people on the poll are 17. thought it'd be much more than that.

[Sammy Wammy]

It's kinda both.
You're spose to be 17 when you start year 12, turning 18 only after july (i think it is).. so yeah.. a alot of people start turning 18, but then there are other who don't turn 18 till the following year, pretty much all the way up to june.

make sense?

at my school in year 12 there was only 3 (that i can think of) 18 yr olds....and one 19 yr old guy

[Shifty]

Lol I JUST make it. I turn 18 on Nov 7th... right in the middle of my exams !! IHATE that. I mean I have a physics exam The morning after my 18th how stuffed is that? But something cool... i turn 18 on Melbourne Cub Day. I like that. But I kind of lucked out. I dont have anyexams ON my birthday, so Im celebrating a day early. Lol but yeah. At the end of every year 12 in my school the year goes on a house boat for a weekend and then i have scholies the weekend after soo my nov goes: 7th: birthday, 10th-13th: House Boat, 17th-28th: Schoolies. So Im set. But Im going to have fun with my ID. I got my L's photo taken when I was 16 (no time to get P's before schoolies), when I had short hair and a clean shave and looked like a innoccent little kid... And now, Ive got long hair and a goaty and look like a punk/thug. Lol So when ever I show it I gotta try to look innoccent. Doesnt work. haha. My photo was bad to take. Got my L's the same time as my gilfriend so she was there when i got the photo taken... pointing and laughing at me and being a dick off to the side... I had to get the photo retaken like 3 or 4 times because I owuld start laughin just as they took it....

[Sammy Wammy]

Get a keypass... problem solved bitch.

haha, nah, get it just incase.. you don't wanna be declined and turned away anywhere.

[boxc]

lol, there strick as! and some clubs dont take overseas id's, they wil only accept passport or key pass if your not aussie, my gf is canadian and has alot of troubble getting in even tho shes 19 and has 3 different canadian id's

[steff_max]

hey, ill be 17 when i go up, but is fake ideas a really bad idea??/ like really bad? im going to byron is it just as strict??because i know a friend of a friend, sounds a bit sus, but still i really wanna go into clubs. And im going up 2nd week, so what do u think i should do?? also bout accommodation, we are going to byron yeah, and i was wondering if you think houses or apartments would be better there??/

[Valentine]
