Why there is very few girls in Computer Science?

It's a bad thing.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Forcing people to do things they don't want to is bad. Fewer women pursue careers in computer sciences. It's not an issue until too few people in general do, and that's not the case.

Would you be a computer scientist?

@pato72: No. I don't want to be.

@JessicaK: So, what do you study?

Media arts and animation. I'm one of the few girls in all of my classes, and it's fine. To me, what isn't fine, is that I find out from my teachers who are currently working that I'll, along with other females, likely be hired just for being a girl because companies now are afraid of being called sexist. This, the actual sexism, is tiring. Meritocracy is what's best for individuals, the industry and society.

Truly yes. I'm sure that this is going to change very soon. Only meritocracy determines who's better.
