School
Do you attend school? No, but I only finished in November.
If not how do you spend your time? working at the moment, and I'm about to start a diploma in Modern languages, then a primary school teaching degree in 2010


Do you know what career you want to do after school?Yes - primary school teaching
Do you require a high UAI from your HSC? The highest UAI I saw for the course I wanted was about 82, but most places wanted 75 or less. I got in on early entry though, so in the end, it didn't matter much.

Recreation
Do you find undergoing in recreational activities enjoyable? yes
Is their pressure when contributing in recreational activities? Depends what the recreational activity is. But I don't tend to do the ones that have pressure involved.
Do you have time to participate in them? For the last 12 months or so, I haven't really, because of the HSC and stuff, but I do now
Does access to finance put a strain on your social life? Not really. I have a job now, and I wasn't doing anything so expensive before that I couldn't either pay for it myself or get my parents to give me extra money.

Media
Do you feel the need to follow current fashion trends to feel accepted? No. If I have to follow trends to be accepted, I don't want to be accepted by those people
Is body image important to you? Yeah, I'm 18 and female. It's part of the job description, unfortunately. But I'm a lot less crazy about it than lots of people
Your self esteem
good

The way society perceives you, does that affect the way you see yourself? To some degree. But I tend to be a lot less worried about it than lots of other people my age
Have you ever sought counselling services? If by me, you mean my parents on my behalf, yes.

Family
Current family structure?
Nuclear

Do you struggle to balance out your family/school/work life? A bit during the HSC, but usually, if I needed a break, I took it. Definitely not a problem now that school's over

Tafe/ University /workforce /unemployed


  • Do you know what career you want to do after school? yes/no (Rural doctor)
  • Do you require a high UAI from your HSC? yes/no (97+ UAI, preferably 99.25+ for BA (Philosophy)/MBBS @ UNSW)

Recreation
  • Do you find undergoing in recreational activities enjoyable? yes/no
  • Is their pressure when contributing in recreational activities? yes/no People expect you to have a certain level of skill when playing sports, e.g. soccer, and they make fun of you when you rarely touch the ball, and when you do you pass it to the other team.
  • Do you have time to participate in them? yes/no
  • Does access to finance put a strain on your social life? yes/no Like to stay at home mainly, sometimes go out to movies with friend/s but parents always pay. When I get a job will easily be able to afford it.

Media
  • Do you feel the need to follow current fashion trends to feel accepted? yes/no pfft, heck no!
  • Is body image important to you? yes/no I'd walk the streets of Sydney nude if it did not get me arrested for indecent exposure! :D
  • Your self esteem
The media do not impact on my self esteem. I only read entertaining sections of the newspaper and rarely watch the news. However, A Current Affair is totally responsible for making me sigh over and over again at their pathetic council bashing to the point that I get wrinkles from frowning and sighing at journalist's comments! :haha: My self esteem is moderate, I am not arrogant, but I have a healthy respect for myself and others.
Terrible/ poor/average/good/very good/excellent (Perhaps you can examine the reasons behind people's level of self esteem? Just a thought.)

  • Have you ever sought counselling services? yes/no Kids Helpline ftw! lol :D

Family
  • Current family structure?
Nuclear / sole parent /divorced / blended /adopted/foster / gay/lesbian

(2 parents + children)

2 parents (David and Janelle), 2 children - I am the eldest (James - 15, Lachlan - 12, Cameron - 10).

Live with mother, see father twice a fortnight (weekends, Wednesday nights - from 6 p.m. and Thursday mornings) + 1/6 of annual school holidays, birthdays, Christmas and Easter (Easter = every 2nd year).

  • Do you struggle to balance out your family/school/work life? yes/no
My family annoy me so I just read a book, study, go on Bored of Studies, write a letter of visit a friend! :)
