This Anti-Skipping School Ad Is The Most Disturbing Thing I’ve Ever Seen - GRAPHIC WARNING.

Ok I'll repeat that............ GRAPHIC WARNING.

Okay, a few words of warning: This “Stay In School” PSA* is fucked all the way up. It is graphic. It is not safe for work. It really nailed the whole “carefree, I love life, pretty, white Tumblr kid” aesthetic. Like, these are the kids who are high risk for contracting affluenza. Anyway, this video is bonkers and Australia is a weird place and god bless their twisted hearts.

It seems kids require extreme graphic content now to get a simple message through their skulls. It will be quite something else in another 20 years.

My mind went from skipping school is fun, to Australian beaches are deadly...and to be avoided at all costs.

But really, what can you say, they are Australians after all. Bless their little cotton socks.

the nasty, high school skippers.
But really it was that the students had skipped so much school that they hadn't learned to read.
