warning: this is strange..., childhood help? Options

[jackizzle]

Okay, forgive me if this sounds weird... But my friend was talking to me about sexual abuse. We'll call her Annie. She told me that when she was young, around 8 she and her friends [2 girls] took turns examing each other genital areas. I don't know how often they did this but I'm assuming it was frequently. There were never any adults involved. Also she said she did it with her sister at night, and they called it.. weenie doctor[?] or something like that. I suppose she was watching a show on children being sexually abused and wondered whether her case is.. relevant[?] So anyways, I didn't know the answer to her question, so I thought I'd post it here. Sorry if this sounds weird. It sounded weird to me too.. But yes, your help and comments would be appreciated. [=

creepy children...

I've heard that some kids can be very curious about their body parts and wouldn't necessarily try to hurt each other because of it. The whole 'game' concept of it sounds suspicious though, that maybe your friend was peer-pressured into doing it. If your friend was affected negatively in any way especially long term and emotionally or mentally, I'm sure it'd be relevant and something to check up on with a psychiatrist or someone.
