And while I don't think she should become religious, this is an area where the church should say, had she not slept around, she wouldn't be having this problem. And then use reasoning and psychology to help teens improve relationships and create long-term, stable, and happy couples who know that they aren't number 14.

The problem is
not that she had a healthy, active sex life, it is that
her private notes about it were made public!
Please don't demonize healthy sexuality. Young people are perfectly capable of creating long-term stable and happy relationships, whether they are number 4, 14, or 40. Why instill fear in young people about healthy sexuality? It is perfectly okay to have an active sex life, as long as you have safe sex and are honest with your partners about being non-exclusive.
I think the church is the major offender when it comes to encouraging fear and negativity in connection with sex. What is wrong with liking sex? Nothing. "Sleeping around" can be wonderful. But for some reason people get uncomfortable and judgmental when they actually hear people say they love sex...especially when women say it.
