I am 15 and i have been going through depression lately because i like watching porn. That is affecting my relationships with my friends and teachers in my school.It is also decreasing my marks. Kids are bullying me everyday because after watching porn you feel extremely shy around public and it's just messing up my whole life. It even has made me think of killing myself.................... How can i stop this from happening?
First, I would try watching porn without masturbating. This is going to be a challenge, I know, but it will test your strength. I would also get into more physical activities like going to the gym or running around the block. [ thedonwind's advice column | Ask thedonwind A Question ]

Porn and masturbation go together like ice cream and apple pie. Porn is considered stroke material and masturbation is the a healthy and safe way to relieve sexual tension. As long as both are not all encompassing events you have nothing to be depressed about. In fact I would be worried about any boy your age not interested in porn and not masturbating. Any boy who tells you he doesn't look at girlies magazines or search out porn on the web is either lying or hasn't hit puberty yet.
The reason parents and religions tell you not to masturbate is it is believed it leads to wanting the real thing. It doesn't it is a substitute for the real thing. If your masturbating then you are already looking or desirous of the real thing. Nothing to be shy or embarrassed about we do it according to a survey about 85% of us masturbate. Porn helps with masturbation. It is just something you do not advertise.
As long as you have other interest other than porn and masturbation you are normal. If porn takes up all other time other than school and sleeping then you have a problem and need professional help. Then it's time to tell mom or dad you have a problem and ask for help. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
