I am a guy who really is trying his hardest to be a servant of God. Can you give me any tips or advice to resisting the urges of pornography and sexual feelings towards girls(Please don't answer with masterbation)?

So as to the question of sexual feelings towards girls unless you plan on becoming a Priest or joining an order that forbids it I do not believe there is anything wrong with this issue. You can have these thoughts and even have sexual relations up until you take your vows of chastity. You might want to ask your clergyman to enlighten you more on this question as my answer is most definitely a layman's answer.
As to pornography: That is a battle I believe we all face in one form or another. I read once that exercise is a good way to work off sexual energy brought on by pornography and other sexual stimulation. It is unfortunate but in one form or another some types of pornography are all around us; from the way things are advertised to television plots to hard core pornography.
