I have not had sex but I have masturbated and fatasized about sexual things. I know I have sined and I feel so completly horible about it. I wish I had never done it. I did not know it was wrong at the time though. I pray and pray about it. Ive stoped doing all of that stuff but I still have that gut feeling that Im a really bad person. I have not had sex or a first kiss or even a boyfriend. I just feel so completly horribly horrible! How do I deel with this and will God ever forgive me for all the bad things Ive done such as the masterbating, Fatasizing, listing to music with sexual lyrics, and looking at some porn? I just feel like a horrible person and that I should just die and go straight to hell for it. What should I do?

There's nothing to feel guilt over either as almost everyone does it or has. Stats say that 90% of males do and 78% of females. No matter what anyone says it's not a sin and it doesn't break your bond with God. If you enjoy doing it than continue if not don't but don't sweat it you're fine.
Think about it everyone you know at school be them teachers or students or anyone you encounter would all be going to hell or at least confession several times a week. It's a normal and pretty much universal thing.
It doesn't need to be sexual as young children, toddlers do it for comfort or because they've discovered it feels good. You're not a bad person, boyfriends will come in due time.
As for lyrics, guess what 99.9 percent or damn close of most lyrics have something to do with sex. does that mean stop listening? All it means is that you make your own decisions about the content of the lyrics and the messages.
Fantasizing never killed anyone. That's normal and part of being a teen. As for porn it won't kill you but it's meant for adults for a reason. Stop looking at it until you are 18 at least. Pretty much you're a normal person without much to worry over. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
