Two youth workers have staged an innovative project aimed at cutting teen pregnancy by encouraging youngsters to become celibate for 15 weeks.
Youth worker Nathan Scott-Cook, of Penarth, claims teenagers are brainwashed into having sex by the constant barrage of pressure everywhere from television to among their friends.
To prove there was a way to counter this, the trainee teacher found 12 Vale of Glamorgan teenagers aged 14 to 18 who pledged not to have sex for 15 weeks.
