    I'm probably the youngest here maybe? I don't know, if that's good or bad. I've been looking at porn, webcamming, sending selfies to friends for two years now. I know its bad and I should stop. I got caught by my parents. They think I'm weird. Maybe I am? I don't really care though ha. I know I shouldn't do it as much as I do though.

    Welcome, Brandon.

    Have you thought about setting a short-term goal for yourself, a certain number of days to go without looking? It's a helpful way to get the process started.

    There's nothing especially "weird" about being a teenager who looks at porn on the Internet. In fact it's normal in the sense that most people your age seem to do it. The problem is that constant exposure to porn can be addicting, to the point where some people have trouble getting anything done because they're constantly staring at the screen. (It also gives a badly distorted idea of what sex is actually like. Do NOT use porn for sex ed; it will most likely make you and your eventual partner quite unhappy.)

    You're either very lucky or very smart to have come here this early. We have a lot of members well into adulthood whose lives have been messed up by PMO, and they (well, we) rely on it just to feel normal. Maybe you just have a bad habit that isn't an addiction yet. Best to break the habit now rather than do the much harder work later.

    Thanks Sodium. I'm online now so its seems I received your post as soon as you sent it. I guess I get your point about it being normal. I know my friends look at it....I've even looked at it with them a bunch of times. I guess the weird part for me is how much I do it, doing facetime and camming on xbox live with people I dont even know, getting more and more curious with craigslist adds, stupid stuff like that. I guess that part to me doesnt really seem normal or maybe I just dont know. Ive only had two real life sexual experiences with someone else outside of looking at porn either by myself or with my friends. I guess its hard to know what to expect, but I think i should start controlling more what I do instead of just doing whatever I want if that makes any sense.

    You're not weird. There are more kids out there like you than you know. It's interesting how this all works though. First you're looking at porn, then your sending selfies to people you know, then your camming with people you don't know, then beginning to look at craigslist and other sites that offer "services"...

    The rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper if you're not careful. I'm sure it's a good thing you're here. And welcome to the community! There are a lot of guys here with a lot of consecutive days free from PMO. I see that you've posted a lot and are reading a lot of the threads here, so I'd encourage you to continue doing that. You'll learn about other people's experiences and how they deal with things day to day. With time, you'll learn how to deal with it too and be able to share your successes with others.

    Cheers, welcome, and good luck!

    Well, I can definitely tell you that this change will make you a better person. I got 10 bucks saying you'll do better than your friends with the ladies in a few years.

    You'll get to grow up, they'll probably stay immature for longer than they should. Chicks don't dig kids :cool:
