Every 8th grader has to take one home in our school district. Girls and Boys!! In my daughter's class..now a Freshman in college, there was 1 pregnancy and that was a girl who transfered in for her senior year. Otherwise the baby did the trick!! In my son's class..he will be a junior, there is one who is pregnant, by a rape...otherwise the baby worked so far.
Good Luck

well in 8th grade they made us make soda bottle babies and take care of them for a week and keep a journal about when we got up at night and all that stuff most kids only carried the baby around the school and that was it and most kids didnt even care they just acted like it was a stupid project in highschool there is an elective class called adult living where u get to take care of the electronic baby i dont think they work i think they just think of them as a project

In my school we have sex education day in year 10, and for 1 hour everyone is made to care for a dolly baby (that cries etc.)
But we dont take them home! i dont know if that's how it is all over the UK, but i know that the part of London im from, we dont take it home.
It is effective but i think it would be even more effective if we were able to take it home, then we could see there is no freedom etc. I felt like chucking mine the minute i got it because the crying drove me MAD!!!

I just had a baby think-it-over in the Spring. I had to take it over to one of the kids' house that I tutor for. And it would NOT stop crying! I think we only got about 10 minutes of work done! They can be so annoying lol.

yea we had to pick partners and it was crazy the thing wouldn't stop crying. We had to carry it around school and stuff. the baby would pee so we had to change diapers. Lucily we didn't draw the twins card. If you chose a partner make sure its someone who will share the work with you. My partner was one of my guy friends and he dropped the baby so many times. I didn't want to fail so I just told him to give me the baby. we got an A- =) It taught us responsibiliy and I'm not having kids for a long while.

My daughter has never had one, but i should imagine they are a good idea, but a weekend is not long enough the need at least a month to know what it is like.

my friend did. it turned on at 3 when they got home and it cried through the night. not all night but when it needed to be changed or fed or somthing like that. very life like. not in looks but in actions. it crys anytime. you have to take it w/ you every where. to the movies if you go you have to buy an extra ticket, and also you have to bring it shopping if you go or to church. but you have to take it every where and be w/ it all the time. like a real baby basicaly

We were going to that last year in school (grade 8 it was, i'm going into grade 10 now) but then they decided that we were to young to be given a project like that so we never got them. We should have had them though...

it works and if you dont take care of it, some are built to blink the word abuse on the back of it, you expected to take it every where you go like its a real baby
