It comes from heaven which is within you.
Remember that love is the fulfillment of the Law. Begin there. Honesty is nothing to brush over. There was once a man named Diogenes Son of Zeus who would walk thru town during the day with a lamp looking for someone. When asked who, he said, "An honest man." To be honest is to fulfill an ancient prophesy.
See how concerned you are! Covetous and lust! These are the concerns of a righteous man! Not a doomed man! You will struggle with sex drive until you are older. For now, make sure you lust after girls of good character. As for covetous, this helped me: desiring what another has and then feeling bad for not having it is like placing one's hand on a hot stove and getting burned. In the end, we are causing our own suffering, and we can stop doing so, just by not desiring. Look closely next time you covet. You will notice there is a tiny moment where you make a choice to want what isn't yours. It is hard to see, and even harder to resist, but it is there. That is the key to overcoming covetous. It worked for me.
