Year 12 is a demanding time, but the pressure reaches an all-time high towards the end of the year as students prepare for and complete final exams. As a parent, you are along for the ride when it comes to Year 12 – you live with a stressed out teen, support them as they study, and help them make decisions about what to do next year. At Deakin University, we talk to thousands of Year 12 students and parents each year about options for university and beyond. This year, we asked our experts for their top tips for parents of Year 12 students during this time.

Everyday Heros are parents who care for their children all of their lives.

Country students are more likely to be bullied than their city counterparts, and Indigenous students report the highest rates of victimisation, a Fairfax Media investigation has found.
The state's worst local government area for bullying is Latrobe in Gippsland, where more than one in four students report being bullied, while inner-city municipality Yarra had the lowest rate at 9 per cent.
Bullying experts said boredom and isolation drove country teenagers to bully more on social media, while drought and lower socio-economic circumstances meant students took out their frustration on others.
Meanwhile, more than one in four Indigenous students in Victoria reported being bullied last year, compared with one in six non-indigenous pupils.
