The celebration side has shocked parents and politicians more and more - Russian bus.

"It's a party bus! We go out for a month every night, get drunk, we get together with friends, and it's fun!" said Edvard Aanestad, 19, who is completing school on the west side of Oslo.

The concern is that all weeks of gatherings and the peer pressure involved can adversely affect the overall health of adolescents and their performance.

Often spending a small amount of money on renting buses and decorating them out, many school fraudsters are in debt to pay back it all.

"one Russian bus Driving from midnight to early morning. The music and party we played all night was very, very loud,” said Henrik Wathne, a friend of Edvard.

Besides all the fun, complaints about the celebrations leading to heavy drinking, drug use and little sleep. There are also concerns that many teenagers feel excluded because they can’t afford the expenses.

Currently, all of this is consistent with the exam period.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr's store said last year that he also enjoyed graduation, but party bus culture has gone out of control.

His intervention comes after years of public debate, opposition from the authorities and many schools and their parents.

"We are concerned about some negative trends in schools and communities and Norwegian youth culture," Solveig Haukenes Aase said.

Her two young children have not yet started high school, and she complains that the culture has also influenced young teenagers: “In recent years, it has also begun to have an impact on middle school students.”

She formed a group with other parents to make young people safer.

“The attitude of the school authorities before was that it was a private matter, Russian Celebration is something that happens in your spare time. ” she told the BBC.

“But the mentality between teachers, principals and school authorities has changed and it is now widely recognized that new is new Russian Culture has had a huge impact on the school environment. ”

Party buses in Norway have become a trend to worry about schools and parents

Norwegian Education Minister Kari Nessa Nordtun said that "for years, the celebrations and examination periods have been intertwined" was a problem.

She told the BBC that the results dropped due to the party, people in the school had difficulty focusing on exams.

“The celebrations have also become highly commercial and exclusive, and we have seen these negative effects spread to lower secondary schools.

“We want to end the social exclusion, peer pressure and high costs for many young people. We are now working to create a new, more inclusive graduation celebration.”

The plan now is to ensure the shift from next year's celebrations to the later post-stage period.

The tradition of party buses dates back to the early 1980s and is often more common in some of the more elite schools.

However, it has now become a national scale, and Ivar Brandvol, who wrote about the tradition, believes the whole point of the bus has now changed so that the bus celebrations no longer involve the entire school class, but a more select group.

"The other change is the money you need to be part of a bus group. Some bus groups will also have a budget of 3 million clones (£220,000) even if they choose to rent it only," he said.

"The sound system is shipped from all over Europe. To pay the bill, these groups usually sell toilet paper to friends, family and neighbors to make a little profit. However, children have to sell a lot of toilet paper to make enough money, usually saving and paying off their debts."

It is widely accepted in Norway that the school’s gathering bus culture must be reduced.

The government is also concerned about the potential risks of teenagers’ safety as they dance on buses driving at night.

"We hope this year's graduating class will be the last class, allowing for converted buses using side seats and standing rooms when driving," said Norwegian Transport Minister Jon-ivar Nygard. "We can no longer take unsafe buses to send our young people."

For many forward-looking schools in Norway, the government's plan is too much.

Edvard Aanestad complained: "The government wants to replace the side seats on the bus, just have group seats. I think it's the wrong way."

In addressing the inclusion problem on buses, he and his friend Henrik believed that the authorities were taking the wrong attitude.

Of his 120 schools a year, only half are part of a party Booth group, and they agree in part because of the high costs.

But the two young people said they spent years planning celebrations and could even work on the side to pay for the entire experience.

"This won't help cope with the exclusion," Edvard warned, noting that banning certain buses would mean fewer buses to go. “If anything, the opposite is true, so this is the wrong approach.”
