Frequently Asked Questions.
I’m not really quite sure how to go about this, but here it goes. I’m a 17 year old woman who has struggled with pornography and the “Big M” for quite some time. I used to be religious and had a strong faith at one point. My family recently moved and now my parents go to church and I choose not to for various reasons. My parents are WICKED conservative and the last thing you want to mention in their church is pornography. I don’t have even the faintest of relationships with my parents. Everyone up here would much rather not hear about an issue as important as pornography addiction especially among teens. There is absolutely no one I can confide in with my struggle. I don’t have anyone close to me in my new town. I feel too ashamed to even pray for help or forgiveness. I’m not sure what should be my first step in trying to get help. Living with this constant weight on my shoulders is no way to live anymore. My grades have slipped tremendously and the constant fear of getting my secret out is unbearable. I feel so alone and isolated in what I’m dealing with. I also fear that if I continue down this road of destruction, it will lead me to more destructive habits. I’m sorry for making this so long, but I’m not really sure where else I could go to get this off of my chest. Any advice would be received with open arms.
Sincerely,
~ Tiffany
