Schoolies Quen pensezvous?

Monsieur Dupont : Je suis compltement contre les clbrations de laprsbac par les jeunes en grand nombre dans le mme endroit. Lide de partir en vacances avec le seul but de se soler chaque soir est incomprhensible. Ce comportement sous linfluence de lalcool cre dnormes problmes : trop de bruit et de dgts pour les rsidents ; intervention de la police toute heure, effet destructif sur la sant des adolescents. part le danger vident, ces vacances cotent une fortune aux parents. Je refuse de laisser ma fille partir.

Jol : Pour moi, Schoolies est une perte de temps. Pourquoi boire de lalcool longueur de journe ? Comment prendre plaisir aux sorties et aux sports nautiques quand on a la tte qui tourne? Cest vraiment dangereux, on peut se noyer facilement ou avoir des accidents par manque de jugement. Je prfre sortir en ville. Jenvisage de trouver un boulot mitemps pour conomiser de largent car jen aurai besoin pour payer mes dpenses universitaires lanne prochaine.

Antoine : Pendant ces deux dernires annes, jai travaill trs dur lcole et comme rcompense mes parents me payent une semaine avec mes amis. Pourquoi Schoolies? Pour se dtendre et samuser aprs le stress de lexamen. Jai fait des conomies pour contribuer ces vacances et pour convaincre mes parents de me faire confiance. Partir avec mes amis la fin de lanne scolaire, quelle clbration ! Je nai pas encore dixhuit ans, mes amis non plus, donc pas dalcool. On est raisonnables et on samuse bien sans faire des btises. Les mdias exagrent toujours les dangers et les idioties de la minorit.
