It seems when I hang out with friends and go out with them.. it causes me to sin more.
And when Im crashing home.. everything seems spiritually healthier.

When I hang out with my girlfriend...
I lustfully think about her.. because shes gorgeous. And I'm also a horny teenager still.
When I'm with friends..
I curse, drink [ alot..], smoke and also lustfully think of the girls that are friends.
I stopped watching porn.. because I want to spiritually become stronger..
how a body builder works out everyday...
I stop watching porn everyday.. its so hard to sleep at night and every night.

I know I am the sinner, but it seems like society makes it alot harder for me....
even at church.. ever since our youth pastor left.. we have older pastors that don't really relate to us.. everyone during sermon look at their ipods.. and dose off.

Temptation is a tough one.

You don't have to avoid society, you just need to readjust your priorities and who you spend your time with.

i know exactly what your talking about. In middle school I chose the wrong people to hang out with, and after a while we couldn't even hang out without smoking weed, because it was all we did.

After I got homeschooled alot of things changed and I didn't really hang out with them as much. But when I did we still didn't do anything but smoke and stuff.

The problem really lys with the people you are choosing as friends and choose to hangout with. If you get away frm them and get friends that are trying to become strong in Christ (like yourself) than things will seem alot easier. Temptation will still be there every once in a while, it never stops. But it will happen alot less.

Well one thing I think you should do is make different friends. You cannot help that you are a horny teenager, everyone has been there just ask god for forgiveness. And you stopped watching porn on you're own so not much to say there. Just like you said, you know you're a sinner and so does god. Try not to feel guilty about this, it is why jesus died for us.

where in the bible does it say anything about cocaine or heroin? it doesn't. But it talks about temptations of evil and morals and things that you know you shouldn't be doing.

It also says honor your father and mother and my parents don't want me smoking weed. I don't know of any parents that DO want you to smoke weed lol

And weed is also something taht obviously gets between you and your relationship with God.

smoking marijuana isn't evil or immoral, but honoring your parents is respectable i guess
