Im new here
I am a 16 year old boy who is trying to be a good Christian and eliminate bad habits, is it possible I avoid masturbation at my age? I'm trying but it's really hard, sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing

Of course you can do this, my friend! With God everything is possible, don't forget what I say! You must fight hard. Greetings.

Welcome! The teen years are exactly when you are supposed to be developing self-control. That is exactly the way God designed it. Of course, the Internet provides an additional challenge in the modern era! Learn to discipline your thoughts and control of your body will soon follow. I have sons about your age, and I work with them regularly on this. If I can ever answer any questions or provide additional support, please feel free to DM me. Click on "Information" above and look for the Resources area. Very practical advice on disciplining your mind is available there.

I monitor all Internet activity on my boys' computers and other devices. Do your parents do something similar for you? If not, can you ask them to put something like this in place?

yes, I have a computer that my parents control and it is also in the living room. and then I have my smartphone that I was given for Christmas when I was 15 with a promise to use it well. they check it every month but for almost a year when I'm in the bathroom I do it and then I cancel history and they don't notice it, I know what I'm wrong and I promised I won't do it again, I'm a good boy, I swear, I want just get better

Aleza, anyone can beat this, and you starting early helps. Try to cut out youtube. It is a trigger for a lot of people and tends to flood normal, good content with malicious and pornographic content. Ask your parents for some books to read instead of using your phone. They don't have to be on porn addiction, but it could be stuff that you enjoy. The Bible says removing demons without filling the hole with something else results in more demons coming in. As you unlearn this habit, you need to learn new ones to replace it that glorify God.

my goals are: eat less sugar
go to bed at 9.30pm
no sex until marriage (including masturbation)
wake up at 6.30am
What goals can I add to improve my life? I don't want to keep making mistakes, I accept any advice
