So long as they get pregnant at break time and not during lessons, then it is fine

They do but it is not so common like in UK. People in general don't approve it, we don't have so many benefits for single mothers so gilrs are more cerful.

And I think that polish girls like to stay longer as a girls.

I'm a secondary school teacher and I must say that the number of pregnancies is fairly low. I can't give the exact figures but, generally it is about 1 teen pregnancy per 800 sudents. Usually when the pregnancy happens it is among the senior students about to graduate.

As for reactions towards them...they are definitely not looked down upon, we're all trying to help them graduate. The sad truth is that it is not easy for anybody to have a child now in Poland, let alone for a teenager who has to rely on her parents' financial support.

Well in the uk it depends really on what social background you come from the poorer, ill educated generally get pregnant at a young age, like Iwona said, the benefits in the UK for single young mothers are good, so for those who have no intention of seeking a better life it's an easy option or so they think!!! And generally you see young girls who come from single young mothers doing exactly the same...it's a way of life and vicious circle..I think in the uk the youngest mother has been about 12 years old...

....back to topic. It's really sad when there are day care centers in schools. There are many in the US...especially down south.

Do you all think that young people aren't brought up with as much religion as in the past? From what I understand, the roles of women may be changing a little..?

I don't think it's up to the teenagers to get pregnant or not. These are mostly accidents. And since when are these youngsters able to make decisions for themselves....not my kids. 18 yeah you can make a decision....before that hell no.

I was talking about religion it's the teenagers choice if they want to be religious and the if the decisions they make in life are referred to religion it's their choice...!!!
