TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
I'm 16, from the Philippines, and I'm a sex addict. I think I'm bisexual because I'm attracted to both genders and I love watching both straight and gay porn. By the way, I'm a big porn addict. As long as there's a chance, I will watch porn. Also, I'm a masturbation addict. I have these three issues: homosexuality, pornography, and masturbation. First, I want to be straight because I think that it would be much better in the future and gay/bi people are not really accepted in the Philippines. Any tips on how to keep me away from being attracted to guys? Second, how do I keep myself from masturbation and porn? I have done many things like abstinence from computers, and many more but still I fall into temptation. These issues are ruining my life but I don't know how to escape them. HELP!

TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Well, Im only 14, and i honestly have not done anything! Not even kissed a guy! All of my other friends have done stuff, ad i feel so lame and stupid. I feel like im too old, and before you know it, I'll be 16, and still not have done anything. If i ever got the chance to do something, I would want to, but i know i wouldnt because i would get too scared, and i wouldnt know how. what should i do? please help me

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, thanks for contacting us with this situation. It seems like you're feeling scared and ashamed that your friends have done things which you have not, like kissing a boy or moving forward in a relationship. You're only fourteen and feeling this way is normal. There will always be someone who is more experienced than you in anything, not just boys. Everyone goes by their own pace, but you don't necessarily need to be doing things that your friends are doing, if you don't feel ready or comfortable. Talking to your friends may even broaden your knowledge about relationships or how to kiss, but when its with the right person. If you want to talk to us some more, please call us at -1-800-852-8336. We are open from 6-10pm PST.
