Parents
- Parentals just want to
know that you are safe and are enjoying yourself.
-
If they have given permission for you to go to the Schoolies Festival you're lucky,
a lot of parents won't.
- If
something does go wrong, parents or a favorite uncle or aunt can be great people
to call on for support, remember to bring the phone numbers.
Keep
it real
- A lot of people who
go on Schoolies are faced with new opportunities and new decisions. It might be
about drinking, sex stuff, drug stuff or violence.
-
Working out where you stand on these issues and what's right for you is important
and is best done before you go.
-
Making a big decision when you're already pissed or drug effected won't allow
the real you to decide.
-
Hey - if you don't behave a certain way now, why would you start just because
it's Schoolies?
Pre-Schoolies Pressure
- Everyone is talking about the
formal and the Schoolies Week Festival. A lot has to happen before you get there,
so remember your other goals and keep your eye on the task at hand.
- The
pressure you are under now is something most people don't understand. Believe
it or not life actually gets a bit easier after school; well maybe it's more that
the pressures change.
-
The worst thing in the whole world is if you feel like you don't have anyone to
turn to or that no-one understands.
-
It's up to you if you decide to shoulder the weight of your pressures by yourself
or if you want support getting through this time.
