My son went last year, we had been to Bali a number of times as a family with no trouble, but schoolies brings out the worst in some people. He was helping a fellow Aussie who was being robbed and ended up bailed up in a circle k. Luckily a parent had gome over who came to their aid.
My advise -go with a group and with someone older as a chaperone (they dont have to follow you everywhere)
Stay clear of drugs -just say a firm NO and keep walking.
Watch how much you drink- very easy to over do it with the heat
Watch out for each other
Protect yourself from STD's
Any time is a time for terrorists - no matter where you travel, just be cautious and have fun.
