The Screen Guide

Samantha Stewart is a 14-year-old average student that causes no trouble. Sister Bernadette scratches away the biology lesson. her students pull at their sticky stockings, alleviate the heat with waving rulers or dare to daydream. Samantha is doubled over at her desk. Her unkempt hair is glued to her face. Struggling to hold the pain, Samantha falls to the floor. A gush of water creates a puddle on the floor. Her unknown pregnancy was hidden by her plumpish from and a baggy cardigan. With such an abhorrent sin the school and church take the appropriate action. Students spread the indecent gossip. Mr and Mrs Stewart are deeply shocked unable to grasp what has happened. Samantha Stewart, aged 14, is a shame to the family, a sinner and a slut.
