"Attaining Teenager Life Skills" -

 (a)       means the title of the 34  x  One Hour RTV Episodes during the Max 4¾ Years of Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills Coverage Period which -

             *        follow the journey of 140 Accepted Year 9 Aboriginal Students (as explained in 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' RTV Programme) to compete in Three Motivational Teams Challenges, with Life Skills Guardians and a Panel Of Three Judges delivering explicit Mentoring Support Messages; and

            *         is targeted at the Teenager Viewing Audience; and

 (b)       is the 1st of Four Proposed RTV Programmes.

Seeing what it is like to be an "Unlucky Australian" notes that:

  There is a welter of evidence of youth suicide, child sexual abuse, neglect, family violence, school absenteeism, boredom, Social Disadvantage, dilapidated housing, early experimentation with alcohol, petrol sniffing and excessive cigarette smoking in remote Australian townships which have a high aboriginal population, hereinafter defined as Nadir Of Human Endurance.

   Past Preventive Health programme failures, specifically directed at communities with high aboriginal participation, evidence that the task upon Eleven Mentor Roles would be huge.  Seemingly, there will be a lot of 'confronting' footage of Indigenous Local Connectors, supported by 'above and beyond' efforts from Six Regional Township Teams' Co-ordinators, endeavouring to solve a multiplicity of Social Problems that some of the 140 x  Accepted Students will encounter, which threatens to derail those students commitment.  History evidences that there will be a material attrition rate.

  Many RTV programmes seek to maximise emotion, passion and sensationalism, even including a 'bad guy' in judging panels.  "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" would not follow this norm to attract high ratings, but would objectively present the emotional issues and problems that some of the 140 x  Accepted Students experience if those issues/problems negatively impact the students on-going participation - ATLSEIP would present such social difficulties and how Indigenous Local Connectors sought to deal with them to facilitate on-going participation.

  Viewers of "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" may find themselves not getting so 'worked up' in the future when 'small things' in their lives go awry, after they witness 'first hand' the unique Social Problems that many "Unlucky Australians", who live in some remote townships in Australia, are confronted by.

  "Attaining Teenager Life Skills" might be 'a huge TV ratings success', but may not achieve the 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Academic Forecast and some of the other Thirteen Deliverables.
