THEY came to Byron Bay to escape the drunken fights and seedy hotels in Surfers Paradise.

By noon on Saturday, more than 10,000 schoolies had overrun the tourist haven. By midnight, they were brawling with local kids on Main Beach.

Byron Shire Council Mayor Jan Barham, who described some schoolies as "disrespectful", watched in horror as thousands flooded the main park.

Ms Barham's strict alcohol prohibition, heavily enforced during New Year celebrations, was being ignored by schoolies.

Schoolies...another thing that should be banned.

I was wondering how long it would take you to make this thread....

[Redneck]

Funny he doesnt mention that the Gold Coast police have praised their schoolies behaviour.

Not controversial enough i guess!!!

Wonder what the parents think when they see on TV their sweet 'schoolies' daughters so drunk that they're falling off buses and staggering around?


Numbers down?

Maybe parents are finally seeing the light!

Sex, drugs, booze, rock and roll...a week of debauchery...just what you'd want for your school child...not.

'Schoolies' = 'Mad Monday'

Both should be consigned to the garbage bin.

from the internet:

Lol why are so many people saying schoolies on the gc sucks?

Seriously don't listen to them and go to surfers, you will have the time of your life. One of the best weeks of my life was there. We ended up staying for 2 because it was so much damn fun.

Drink heaps, root heaps of hotties, experiment with all the drugs you want and be happy! Seriously it might be one of the last chances you get to spend a psychotic week with your mates before they get a ball and chain gf or wife holding them down .

Well there you go!

This is the product of all the money and time invested.

Interesting that it was a blokes view not a girls view!!

Not saying the girls are little innocents... but do they understand they are just being hunted??

[bambu]

Who knows?


from the same internet site:

Of the 5 females that went to Schoolies my year of graduation 3 came back pregnant, The other one got raped.

that's good odds!

So many girls on schoolies week turn the skank factor right up lol :p. I dread ever having a daughter and having to let her go to schoolies after my easy experiences there 0.0...


______________________


 Pretty much!!

So yeah, make the most of your time there because girls don't get any easier to hook up with than at schoolies lol. Almost like shooting fish in a barrel...


________________________


Tip 2: Dont take girls. Girls ALWAYS have a fight with SOMEONE at schoolies. Just go with your mates. If youve got a girlfriend, go without her or get her to go at the same time, same hotel with her mates too.
If the girlfriend stays at home, dont put up with any jealous  *censored* she might put on you.
We were in a group of 8 guys, 6 went home 2 days early coz their girlfriends complained to them too much.
Of course that left me and my mate alone in a 3 bedroom apartment which was awesome for us.


_________________________


Why do they call it schoolies still? Should be changed to drunk sex and unplanned babies by teeny boppers week.

Sniffing out schoolies trouble


DON'T let the wagging tails fool you - the newest recruits in the police fight against drugs at schoolies' celebrations have successfully sniffed out dozens of culprits.

Sniffer dogs Doug and Wilson have joined 15,000 schoolies in Byron Bay to keep drug use under control.

Tweed-Byron Acting Inspector Doug Conners said the two black labradors, which were first used at the Bluesfest Easter music festival, had been a huge success.

The future of Australia...drug-addicted bogans dopes and no ideas drunks.

As the older White man said to me recently:

"We've seen the best of it".

Don't forget the media's passion for focusing on the negative. There is always good and bad. My partners daughter when on a 3 or 4 day horseback ride throught the  spring Snowy Mountains with frineds for her schoolies a few years ago, and recently celebrated her engagement with a Tea Party. Both beuatiful (she has some fabulous photos). It didn't make it to the news... We are having our school prefects voted in for next year at school ATM, 11 and 12 years olds, fabulous kids hthat will grow into fine adults. The bookkeeper that we use at school (for P&C) is an ex student just finishing her uni in accounting...they are there Bu, have hope. Kids leaving school and uni ATM are well informed and capable, considering much more, on a global scale or laterally, than we did, and they will be capable of looking after us in our old age. I know of a young girl (11ish) that looks after her wheelchair bound mum - and goes to school, a boy that shares the care of his 3 brothers and his dad with his mum, because dad has MS, I can keep going if it makes you feel better...

[Redneck]

Bit wasted I think Jen, Bambu is only interested in bad news stories!!

All doom and gloom is our old mate!!

[bambu]

No he's not, he's just a realist.

Schoolies lovers to wed


Monique Quinn and Matthew Elliot met at Schoolies on Saturday, fell in love and will be getting "married" on the beach Wednesday afternoon in a ceremony in front of their friends. Picture: Jay Nel-mcintosh Source: Gold Coast Bulletin


TWO Schoolies lovers who met just five days ago are set to tie the knot on the Gold Coast, after claiming they are each other's soul mates.

The Gold Coast Bulletin reports Monique Quinn met the man of her dreams five days ago and today she will say  "I do'' at her very own Schoolies "wedding".

The 17-year-old and her ''soon-to-be husband'' Matthew Elliott both travelled from Ipswich to Surfers Paradise to celebrate the end of 13 years of school separately and did not expect to meet their ''soul mate'' during the seven-day celebration.

Matthew said he was so smitten by Monique that he proposed to her just 24 hours after meeting her.

Monique smiled as she recalled Matthew getting down on one knee with a wine cask in hand.

Aaah, young Aussie romance...ya gotta love that.

Aaah, young Aussie romance...ya gotta love that.  

Are they allowed to get married so young? Surely there are laws to stop them??

''Of course I said yes - we're not old enough to get married legally, but that's not stopping us.

''We are going to have our own ceremony on the beach at sunset.''

>>>>> >>>>>

These days, the male getting down on one knee to propose, with or without wine cask in hand, seems a whole lot 'subservient' to me.

[Crankenstein]

Maybe parents are finally seeing the light!

No. The kids themselves are. More and more students are deciding to stay here and get holiday work and/or save the money that they would spend at schoolies for uni.

More and more of my students are saying that they aren't interested in schoolies.

I ran into a reasonable amount of schoolies kids while I was out and about this week. All polite, well behaved just chilling and having fun.

One of my mates is a Red Frog. He couldn't believe how tame the kids were this year.

There's me too. I try and be the poster boy for sensible youth around here but still they carry on...

bad news stories

Good news? It doesn't exist. You only have to look at the post rate on our good news board to see that...

Horror movie right there on my teevee...

No he's not, he's just a realist.

A realist? I am yet to see a one sided coin in reality.

Princess and Prince Charming works fine for me and mine. My proposal shall involve getting down on one knee, amongst other things when the time comes... in a very very very long time.
