Teenagers keep 'chastity' pledge

A graduation ceremony has been held for teenagers who stayed celibate for 15 weeks in a study called "Romance Academy".

The project, involving six boys and six girls, was aimed at reducing teenage pregnancies and educating youngsters about relationship pressures.



The Vale of Glamorgan Romance Academy, which ran groups in Penarth and Dinas Powys, described it as "life-changing".

The graduates, aged 14-18, received their certificates in Barry last night.
