Question Posted Monday September 13 2010, 11:37 pm
I'm shaky and feeling sick. I've been a little perv and I watched porn. A year ago I used to watch a lot of it. I went on a site and had cyber sex a few times.
I feel like a worthless skank and I take back everything I did.
What I did was ridiculously wrong. I'm 14!!
The question is, are my parents going to find out about my mistakes? I erased the history on everything I've ever done on the computer, but is that enough? What else can I do to erase it? I want these awful teenage mistakes behind me so I can move on and never do anything like this again.
Please be honest, but don't be too harsh. I'm already being terribly hard on myself for getting into porn. I'm not a bad person, I'm just being a curious teenager. But I think I got too curious, and I watched a lot.
Trust me, I won't be doing anything like this ever again. I can see how wrong and gross it is.
I'm making myself sick. Please help settle my nerves so I can move on from my terrible mistake!!!!!!!!! I beg you!!!!!
My advice:
stop having sex until you are SERIOUS about your partner (meaning you could marry them if needed)
forgive yourself
focus on things that 14 years are supposed to be doing!
if it gets too hard, talk with your parents. (but realize you did something serious and there might some consequences)
"discipline yourself or be disciplined by the world" is what i tell my kids. I love them but i cannot protect them 100% of the time. THEY need to use good judgement or face the consequences.
do your best to avoid the porn and again focus on the productive things

Im 19 now and I never got caught :))) hahaha but I think its normal for kids to look at porn in moderation. It helps them figure out their sexuality and stuff! Well, ok :) byee!

I did the same thing at your age and if you've deleted the history on your comp, you should be fine :)
On another note watching porn isn't that bad! You shouldn't be beating yourself up about it!!! Your fourteen, your hormones are going crazy, of course your going to be a little curious. And to be honest its better to watch porn and have cyber sex then to have actual sex...which a lot of kids your age are already doing. Seriously watching porn isn't something that you should be feeling this bad over. You are most certainly not a worthless skank or anything. Just take a deep breath. You are absolutely fine :) [ quazzie's advice column | Ask quazzie A Question ]

Many good, decent, loving and wonderful human beings watch pornography. Although there are some problems in the pornography industry about treating performers fairly, the vast majority of porn is made by completely willing and happy people, and watched by completely and healthy, happy and respectful people.
You are not a bad person because you watched porn. There is nothing wrong with you, or what you did.
If it made you uncomfortable and you don't want to watch it anymore, that's okay too!
You are allowed to feel that way and choose not to watch porn. But please, stop beating yourself up.
You are not skanky or worthless or a perv - not even a little bit. You are a human being. You are a young human being who is naturally getting curious about sex. All human beings are sexual creatures. Each person gets to choose how they will express their sexuality. Some perfectly good and kind people might choose to watch some porn in an ethical and responsible way. Some people might do things that are unethical, either with porn or with other people. Porn doesn’t make it wrong. Hurting others or yourself makes it wrong. You can choose to be good (and yes, being good can include porn if you'd like it too).
If your parents haven't found out yet, they probably aren't going too.
Please, forgive yourself. It makes sense not to want your parents to find out. They probably don't want to know anymore about your sexuality than you want to know about theirs! You've taken reasonable persuasions, and now the best thing you can do is remember that lots and lots of people watch porn and it doesn't turn them into sexual nutcases or perverts. If you don't like it, stay away from it, but stop blaming yourself for something that was perfectly natural. Watching porn might be wrong for you, but it’s NOT completely, always, perverted, skanky, wrong – it’s just not for everyone, and not everyone engages with it responsibly.

ok you made a mistake, to be honest a lot of teens go through a phase like this, you can't do any more than erase the history really but what you need to do is to put the whole thing behind you and don't do it again. The fact that your feeling this guilty proves that it was a mistake and you have realised you done wrong dont worry babe just put it behind you [ karen_advice's advice column | Ask karen_advice A Question ]
