Life / Teens in Poland, their typical life, schooling, influences, etc. [32]

Ups, have I wrote something funny? I'm afraid I don't get but well have fun :D


No, they aren't they go to church to have their parents contented. As few of them would be thrown out if mother know the aren't that religious. You can steal, have fights with others but you can't skip mass. And how religius is someone how drive nuns crazy on religion classes just for fun.

News / Did you heard for Polish tourist-bus tragedy on the road, in Serbia? [12]

Another reason to have national mourning. All medias excited to show weeping mothers. It's insane, can anyone tell me why so many fuss about it? Yeah kids are dead, terrible accident but when approximately 15 people dies on Polish road a day nobody cares. It is something usual in Poland big tragedy = big fuss. And nobody speaks about or helps people who die every day in other accidents. For example in Katowice when few people died in collapse of same exhibition hall. Families got help 'cause media was interested. And who helps families of killed in car accidents? No one.

Teens and Religion? In Poland we have around 95% of catholics but only halve of them is attending church on regular basis. So if you consider a guy who sleeps during religion lessons (but he attends them), sit outside of church during Sunday mass (often with hangover) religious then yeah Polish teens are religious.

In Poland it is still considered strange to confess to atheism, most people are "non-practitioners" or something like that. But nowadays more people are becoming true catholics who nows what their religion is about in the contrast to the old devoted ladies who wants crucify anyone who miss one mass. (Long live the Father-director). It looks different when you live in a village: If you are not in the church you are a scum of society, not worth even to talk to you.

I have a contact with teens, who believe that police is some nasty institution founded only to make their life miserable. People like that seems impressed with things like the criminal record or who throws up further on the party. And of course they drinks a lot of alcohol (mostly to the point when you have no recollection of what happened in the last few hours), and consider smoking as "cool". But there is a lot of teens interested in art and culture or in developing themselves. So you can't generalize.

Life / Cigarette Smoking in Poland [146]

Theoretically smoking in public in Poland is forbidden, but fines depend on the city you are. For example in £ódz even city wardens smoke on bus stops, on the other hand in Rzeszów it is common to get ticket (quite high ticket) for something like that.


Well in some companies it is forbidden and in others you are prised for not doing it for example you got additional 100PLN

Sorry for my English I'm still learning.
