If that is the case, then I really don't know who you were talking to... obviously someone with bad influence... DUDE, the legal age for sex in Australia is at sixteen, so I don't know why "everyone" would be having sex, or "getting laid" as you said at the age of fifteen. Sixteen, I believe, is still too young for sex, so I really don't know who you were talking to.

For all I know, I know that I am certainly not going to have sex when I am fifteen, and most certainly not sixteen either. And basically everyone goes to secondary school... I can't believe that guy just said that. Basically everyone finishes high school too... I know that there are lots of bad schools out there with sex, drugs, smoking and alcohol problems... even the best schools in Australia have problems like this too... but seriously, not everyone is like that. And I most certainly am not. I am totally, basically speaking, totally horrified and disgusted at what you have just suggested... and I'm not even fifteen yet. :D

I know that Australia might be hugely influenced by the USA, but seriously, you won't see students shooting their teachers or anything like that here... and certainly not everyone have sex in their teens... God... :( :D :D That is just... so plainly... sick.

Be careful who you talk to on the internet, OK???

well he lives in this town like 3 hours above Sydney lol :) but yeah he said pretty much everyone in his town have gotten laid at around 15ish

lol you're younger than 15? I never said they don't go to secondary school I mean POST secondary school like colleges/universities

No... I'm not fifteen yet... and I am definitely going to a university after school. Well, if it's a small town, then I suppose they either don't have a lot of education on sexual health or it's just a town that encourages sex at a young age... but still, it gives a bad reputation to Australia, I reckon.

And what were YOU doing talking to a guy like that? Don't tell me YOU have also been having sex at a young age too!!! *tut tut*

*shakes head*

Here in Australia we call high school "secondary school", then primary school, prep school and kindy or "group of brats gone wild".

We have a nationwide technical college called "T.A.F.E" where you go for courses from 1/2 a year to 3 1/2 years in duration. A wide variety of different courses are offered there. If you finish 3 1/2 years at a T.A.F.E Institute you obtain an Advanced diploma.

Not just this but if you want to follow up further you can do an extra year at University and you then have your degree in you chosen occupational field (in some fields).

10% attendance for post secondary school attendance? The guy must have been from boganville (meaning he must have resided in a place where all the drop kicks are cast out too).

Probably lives in Tasmania ive head about those poeple, nah just kidding. :)

In Britain they began calling secondary schools "high schools".
Just one more small loss of the sense of British culture I guess.
Before you know it Liverpool f.c will have a "schedule" and
will fight for a champions league place in the league
"standings".

Hi. I haven't been to Australia, but did go through some of the posts in this thread. Based on what I read, Australia is like America in my opinion. This topic is interesting. It makes a good thread on Trap 17. I have always thought Australia is like America. If you are familiar with both countries, you can probably come up with numerous differences. It's a matter of opinions whether the two are alike or not. For me, I think they are alike for the time being. Sorry, Aussies!

Australia's Address is .com.au but Americas is .com.  
It's not .com, it's .us.com is a generic top level domain. It is used throughout the world by individuals, businesses, fan clubs- many diverse entities. It was originally intended for use by commercial entities..us is  "america's Address" - that is, it is the country specific top level domain for american websites.(.ie for ireland, .uk for the UK, .it for Italy).au is australia's country specific top level domain(tld).com.au is legitmate, by the way. .com.au is supposed to signify that it is a commercial australian website (however nowadays .com is used generically as 'the end' of a website's name.)
