Summary/Abstract: The knowledge regarding sexuality, fertility and reproduction should be given to young people in generational families and, later, in educational institutions, such as schools. Properly implemented sex education should provide reliable information on the psycho-physical development of people, the available methods of contraception and sexually transmitted diseases. In Polish homes and schools this type of education is marginalized, which in turn can bring about the phenomenon of a growing number of teenage mothers. This paper presents the results of a study in which information was gathered by the method of a diagnostic survey with the use of the technique of an interview. A structured interview was conducted with teenage mothers who gave birth to their first child before the age of 18.
