Should I go for counselling? Yes, you should. Telling the police or your parents that you have been sexually abused is an important step, but it�s only the beginning. When you�ve been sexually abused as a teenager, you have a number of fears you must admit to and confront before you can be whole again. The best person to help you may be a trained sexual abuse counsellor. If there are no fully trained counsellors in your community, you should consider going to whatever adult has the best helping skills. This may be a social worker, a minister, or a lay counsellor. Lay counsellors are adults who don�t have a university degree, but do have some training in counselling skills.
