Welcome Auro,

I'm also a teenage PA. I can see that Littlelock has already given you some great advice. OK building on that you need to work out:
  1. What triggers your P usage? - is it boredom, anger, lonliness, using the computer alone?
  2. How you can counter those triggers - e.g. avoid boredom, only use the computer with someone else in the room
  3. What you are going to do with the time that you aren't going to be using to look at P? - take up a hobby, start playing a musical instrument, start working out, anything like that
Then you need to put that plan into action. I'd also advise that you read through as much of the site as you can, the journals of FM : The truth is painful - but required - ThroughTheFlame.org - support forums and AE: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Days - ThroughTheFlame.org - support forums are particularly good. Starting a journal on the site would be a good idea, it gives you a place to vent your emotions, tell your story and get advice and support. Try to go on the site as often as possible, it's a great way to avoid temptation.

Try to take it one day at a time and keep positive! You are going to beat this!

The best of luck,

Ben
