I have never been to a protest. Poland is in the EU. I don't know if it is a good idea to leave EU. It's complicated for everybody. My distant relatives live in Great Britain but I am not in touch with them. Teachers are protesting in my country. Kids are not going to school. The protest started on Monday and we have no lessons. I am at home now and I am bored. When I am at school im happy because I can talk to my friends and we have fun and sometimes we get into trouble, but nothing serious :)). I don't watch the news on TV because I am not interested in politics and economy. ilyv

I have never been to a protest. My country is in the European Union. Sometimes I watch TV news when my parents watch it. In my country, Poland, teachers are protesting and we aren't going to school this month. I am very happy about it because i have got a lot of free time. I don't have to get up early and I can meet my friends. For me protests make sense because the government start listening to the people.

i'm angry and upset.Teachers in my school aren't protesting,because my school is private. I feel the need to protest in my school and I want my teachers to protest too. Because I don't want to go to school.School is boring, the tests are stressful. I want to have time for friends and my hobby. It's not fair. My friends aren't going to school now and they are happy.
