Are parents forcing their teens to be 'undercover lovers'?

JONI-LEE, 18

I wouldn't say they are forcing. I just think they are kind of afraid of what will happen now. They are more protective of them. They know what teens are capable of.

ANDREW, 15

"I don't think so. I can do that (have a girlfriend), but nothing else after that -- no intimacy. I am OK with that."

SHAMAR, 14

"I think the parent's advice is right. Because, he or she does not want their daughter to stray by being with idle boys and getting in trouble -getting pregnant."

TASHAY, 18

"My mother did not approve when I was younger. I felt bad because you must need somebody to socialise with. She approves now because I am older."
