I hope no one minds the suggestion, but I know that a few years ago when I was in your shoes, I felt the same way. It feels like you have no one to talk to, your peers won't understand and will probably make fun of you, and your parents will just punish you.
However, I would suggest, that even if it is very difficult you should talk to your parents. Most parents are much more understanding then you think and truly do love you and want the best for you. They will be your greatest ally in this battle and will be able to greatly help you by installing internet filters and giving you someone to be accountable to.
I've still never told my father, but I finally confided in my mother (when I was an adult) and it has been a great help to me. I wish that I had talked to her when I was younger and at home. I would probably be a lot farther along the road to recovery than I am now. Good luck to you and I am happy that you are recognizing your addiction at an early age. |
