Guess I'm in the minority, but I don't see why she needs counselling, just based on what she did. I do remember what I was like when I was her age, raging hormones and all. If she was 3 years older, she could be posting pictures of herself in Tilted Exhibition, and none of you would be crying "counselling!"

The way I see it, these 14-year-olds giving each other blowjobs are the fruit and product of our society, as well as the natural process of coming of age. Sexually active or curious 14-year-olds aren't as uncommon as they perhaps used to be, but they're not what I'd consider a huge problem, either. I see a lot of people - and I don't mean here at the TFP - suggesting counselling as a solution to most problems, especially with teenagers. While I'll admit that some of them could use it - as could quite a few adults - I think we're a bit too quick to resort to psychotherapy. In some cases it is warranted, but in some it all only helps build a society where a mother sends her son to a therapist because she caught him jacking off - and no one bats an eye.

Posting nude pics of herself online? This girl could use an injection of common sense, perhaps, but therapy? Give me a break.
