Weird Way Norway's School Leavers Celebrate

From sneaking into your teacher's house to winning prizes for having sex in public: Inside Norway's very x-rated school leavers celebration which takes place just BEFORE their exams

Three weeks of non-stop drinking, wild parties every night and having sex in public - these are just some of the outlandish ways Norwegian teenagers celebrate the end of their schooling. 
Young men and women across Norway celebrate their entrance into adult life with a three-week party, known as 'Russefeiring' or Russ.


The students have to complete a series of challenges for points and prizes during the period of debauchery - which can include breaking into a teacher's home to spend the night without them finding out, or having sex in public places.
And the partying begins before the students have even taken their final exams. 
The celebrations traditionally start in mid-April, during the students' last Spring semester, and the events are often planned months in advance.  
Tasks include getting a tattoo with 'Russefeiring' written somewhere on your body to 'hooking up' with as many people as possible in one night.
One of the creepier dares includes sleeping over at a teacher's house before making them breakfast - all without them noticing.
