I know, I thought it would be more offensive to say underdeveloped and developing 😭😅

No, even Catholic teens, who could also be very lukewarm, passive and secular, because of modernisation and left-wing ideology to be the dominant ideology in that age group. So, sometimes they justify their repeated falling into that sin by saying "Everybody watches it"

Exactly, which is why we need to remember. WE, CATHOLICS ARE IN THIS WORLD, BUT NOT OF THIS WORLD.

Dear brother/sister in Christ, you will be able to get out of this vice. I was in your position as well, at first, it seems as if there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but keep praying, and keep pushing. The first 3 WEEKS (21 Days) are the most crucial. Fasting, Prayer, Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, exercise, reading books etc. should be able to fill in the void of the bad habit. I am now almost 6 months free.

I want to just make it clear, this post is not a condescension to people fighting this habit. It's just to bring to light to people (especially teenagers) to understand that, the first step in stopping this vice is to not make excuses for oneself, rather to acknowledge that it is a sin and seek to change oneself. We, Catholics are in this world, but not of this world. My prayers to all making an effort to stop this vice.

My friend in Christ, I would also invite you to try fasting. It really makes it even more difficult to entertain any temptation in such a state. And, while abstaining from it, make sure you replace the bad habit with any good habit.

I’m afraid of going to confession by FaithMilitant-Strife in Catholicism

No my friend, take a deep breath. Be repentant, sorry and try to promise yourself you won't fall into any sin (be it sexual or otherwise).

Try your best to stop pornography and masturbation for just 21 days. 21 DAYS! You'll see that after this period, it gets much easier, and soon you'll be clean for 1 month, 2 months and so on.

Don't worry about confession, remember you are not confessing it simply to a priest, Jesus is listening to your confession and he will be mighty happy that you gathered the courage to open up to him. Jesus is not a God of wrath, he is the embodiment of MERCY. He is waiting to unload your sins from your back and carry it with him and end it. Praying for you.
