Teens take off for Schoolies, and this flight attendant reveals the gross reality of their behaviour

It's that time of year again! The time when Australian high school students celebrate the end of their schooling with a week-long party on the Gold Coast.
Every year, thousands of teenagers descend on the popular Queensland city to let loose and enjoy their newfound freedom. And while most Schoolies are well-behaved, there are always a few bad apples that ruin it for everyone.
Case in point: this ‘chaotic’ Virgin Australia flight prompted a flight attendant to share a video revealing the disrespectful aftermath of a packed plane full of Schoolies returning home after their celebrations.
Flight attendant Ashlee Rogers filmed the inside of the aircraft she was taking care of after it arrived in Brisbane from the Gold Coast. And what she found was far from pleasant.
Ashlee Rogers, a flight attendant for Virgin Australia, showed her 388,000 followers on TikTok with a messy picture of the inside of a plane, which was supposedly caused by the teens flying on it.
The photo shows a huge pile of discarded and crushed chips under one of the seats, accompanied by an empty bag. And clearly, the chips were not the teenagers' choice for in-flight snacks…
'Could've just said they didn't want the chips,' Ashlee wrote on the video, which has already amassed 390k views and dozens of comments from viewers who are aghast that some people cannot even respect a shared space.
While this is not the first time that Ms Rogers has exposed passengers for leaving planes in a disgusting condition, this particular incident occurred as a result of young people coming to and from the Gold Coast during the school holiday period.
Even the aisles and more secluded parts of the plane were left trashed by the unruly and unsupervised teens coming on board the flight.
While the flight attendant was cleaning up the mess the school leavers left in their wake, Ashlee decided to film the aftermath and post it to her social media account.
Even the seats and seat backs were littered with food and uneaten snacks, including red powder that looks like salt. A sheet full of stickers was ripped into pieces, with Ashlee noting that a child must have put them on the underside of the bathroom floor.
The flight attendant also noted that the vacuum onboard the Virgin flight was not strong enough to clean up all of the mess.
The clip showing the 'aftermath' of the flight has since been taken down.
And even though the mess wasn't entirely the teens fault, it is still important that young people of this generation learn the difference between public and private spaces.
Every passenger should at the very least be responsible for cleaning up after themselves, if not for their fellow passengers, then to simply help staff keep things clean and organised. This way, nobody has to spend as much time cleaning up after others.
So, there you have it, folks! Not all air travel stories are pleasant, but if you're ever on one of these planes, we encourage you to try your best to not let the mess get the best of you. Just have a few laughs and take it in stride!
