I started watching porn a few years ago. Last year it started to take over my life. I was watching it every day, sometimes for hours - I was addicted to it. I couldn't focus at school and my grades started to go down hill. I stopped doing sports at around the same time and didn't see my friends as much. But that wasn’t the worst part. It started to wreck my relationship. My girlfriend and I started fighting with each other because I wanted to take things further and she didn't. I guess you could say I was disappointed with our sex life.

I noticed my girlfriend had some marks on her arm. I knew that she used to self-harm before we were together and was worried that she had started again. I wanted to be there for her and make sure she was ok, but I didn’t know what to do or how to bring it up with her.

I was with my boyfriend for about a year. He was like my best friend. Everything was perfect...well for me at least. Without any explanation he told me he wasn't ready for a relationship and he hoped we could still be friends. I felt betrayed and depressed. I just keep thinking there must have been something wrong with me. I couldn’t understand what went wrong. It hurt so much.
