I would like to preface this by saying that I am only looking for support from those who oppose homosexuality; I'm not sure if this forum has an official stance.

I have, for around six years, struggled with homosexuality, and have only recently sought escape. I'm feeling very confident, and have begun multiple programs and do a sort of counseling with my pastor and youth pastor. I've also recently read Every Young Man's Battle. It's helped me with lust and sexual struggles in all as well.
This is something I've not gathered the courage to tell to either of my pastors; they know all else but this. During the height of my perversion, I grew bored of simple pornography. (I gave this up.) I began to take pictures of other people at my school to satisfy my sexual desires. I hated myself for it, but was unable to stop. After deciding to walk in freedom for the first time in my life, I gave this up to. However; someone had caught on. I've given up my sexual perversions, though I do struggle with lust occasionally. It is extremely difficult to combat this. This boy does has not shared what he knows, and I have an intuition that he will not. He's turned it into a sort of a game. It's almost as if he's teasing me. I don't struggle very much with his teasing, it affects me little. However, he's growing more overt. Because it would appear to him that the change was so quick, it almost certainly appears to him that I stopped upon knowing that he knew. (I knew before I stopped) Because of this, he is continually attempting to bring back those perversions, almost as if he sees it as a challenge.
Any advice? I've attempted to ignore him as much as possible, and avoid him as well. I don't want my heart to turn to hating him as it in a way has, but it is difficult. What is my next step?
