High schoolers in Australia have started doing what they call “balcony hops“: attempting to move from one hotel room to another by hopping on balconies. These have been on vacations during an Australian tradition called “Schoolies Week,” similar to spring break, which happens for three weeks in November.

The tweet urged teenagers to make good decisions and look out for their friends.
