Please help me stop this habit

Dear Agatha, I’m a 17 year old boy that who can’t stop reading or watching pornographic films and materials. No matter how I try to stop, I just can’t. Another problem of mine is that I don’t want to have a girlfriend but I always find myself asking girls out. I’m tired and confused. Please help me out. Concerned Boy. Dear Concerned Boy, It depends on the company you keep and the things you allow into your mind. First cut yourself off from the supply of the books and materials. If you get them from the internet; it might be a little difficult but once you have the determination to, you will succeed. It is also important you ask yourself the benefit you get from watching other people’s fantasies. What has this habit contributed to you positively? Is it something you are proud of and can broadcast to the public? Once you cannot openly tell the world this is what you do, then such a thing isn’t worth your time or attention. At 17, your life is too fragile to peg it on things that aren’t worth your while. There is the need for you to change your company if you want to beat the habit. At your age, sex holds so much fun and attraction which if allowed to fly, could really stop you from achieving success in other areas of your life. Since you have made up your mind to change, concentrate more on issues that are time consuming like your books and energy sapping activities like football. By the time you get home, your mind would be just on one thing, to sleep as your body would be too weak to sustain you. Also avoid being alone for too long to stop the temptation of going back to it. The Bible is one book that can really help you grow out of this habit. Befriend it and let it work wonders for you. Good luck.
