Nithyanala agony auntI'm not sure telling your mother would be the best idea. Maybe there is someone else you can trust? A friend or something who can put a blocker on your computer for you?

I know how this works because I was addicted to porn myself about 3 years ago. I kept myself in my room and masturbated constantly, this is not a healthy thing to do. This type of thing is normal for teenagers around your age, but it is a serious problem if it gets bad enough. I would first make sure that you are actually addicted; Is it stopping you from going out with friends or doing something more productive? if so then I would suggest you do tell your mom and have her block it. Unless your mom is a weirdo about this sort of thing, she will understand that it is an actual problem. don't be embarrassed to tell her, it is a serious problem that lots of people have.

If you can't bring yourself to tell your mom about it for whatever reason, go out and do other things, exercise, hang out with friends. Try to keep yourself busy and limit the time you are alone with a computer or magazine or whatever it is you use to look at porn. If it's bad enough, I would suggest to get rid of it completely (don't throw away your computer, but put it somewhere where you can't use it to look at porn)

Remember, you are stronger than the addiction. Don't let it ruin your life

Cerberus_Raphael agony auntYou can because it would help a lot. If she blocks it, there is always the chance that you would find a way to unblock it in your unsatiable urge for such things. What you also need to do is tame your own body. It will be hard but it is necessary. When you feel an urge, remove yourself from any possible source of that terrible thing, stay away from computers, television, magazines. Go jogging instead or something that keeps your heart racing but is not erotic in the slightest. Perhaps you could try meditation to keep yourself from acting on those urges. If you do not act, those urges will eventually die down.

So go on and tell someone so they can help you because this addiction needs to die.

I hope that helps.
