The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

He's set this captive free
My one cent to you is to find a trusted Christian male to confide in. Your youth leader, an older guy at Church, your pastor, whoever you want. Just let it all out to him, it'll really help. He can then be there for you, to pray with/for you, to help you etc

Kenneth Copeland in his little booklet The Power to be Forever FREE says this: "I learned that the living Word of Almighty God is the only power that can cause me to think, look, talk and act llike a born-again man. Its the only thing that can empower me to discipline this flesh of mine. When I saw Jesus in the Word, I was totally set free, not only of the habit, but of the desire! The wages of sin if death. All sin is selfishness tied with a different bow. Sex sins, gluttony, etc.,all stem from the "big me" and the result if the same. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. As Christians, born of His Spirit, we have His divine nature. Paul admonishes us to no longer live as though we were without God. We are to be controlled by our spirits, which are recreated in His image, and not dominated by our carnal minds. You see, your natural mind is in enmity against God, But your spirit, if you are born again, is in harmony with Jesus. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Obedience to Christ and obedience to the Word are synonymous because Jesus is the Word.

Seeing as you're a teenager, I would put it down to hormones. Fancying people from the same sex during puberty is normal, and it's just a phase, so relax- truth being it will most likely pass soon. Everyone gets these crushes, so there's no need to panic. Is being a normal teenager sinning?

I totally disagree... there's nothing normal about it and he is right to be working on it with Christ. It can manifest in our teens (afterall, that's when we start thinking about relationships and physical stuff), but it's not a normal part of growing-up. Not everyone has - or will - go through same-sex attraction.
worshipleader2b gave you great advice... find an adult man that you trust (I eventually told my Dad and worship pastor) and you will get through this. Realize that this is satan's way of trying to destroy the perfect creation of God that you are. Remember, you don't need any man or woman to tell you that you are worth something. God has already told you that... and you know it inside you.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't go down the road that you know is wrong. It will lead to a ton of guilt and regret for you in later life.
God bless you.

I disagree. Whilst you might be right, it's a different situation here.
I've been struggling with homosexuality for the past 5 years, and I am on the road to complete freedom and recovery now, with the strength of Him. Those 5 years of feelings were not down to hormones.

The "hormonal" answer is a lie from satan. Again, there's nothing natural about this struggle. It is a spiritual struggle - not a physical one - and it can only be overcome with Spiritual might. Will-power is not enough to defeat the enemy. Spiritual warfare!

Actually it could be a phase. I went through the same thing for almost eight months and I panicked like crazy. Then I decided to stop panicking, and I haven't felt things like that for a while. It's kind of hard to ignore all the gay stuff nowadays, especially when we see gayness being promoted as erotic on television all the time. It's hard to turn on even a couple of shows and not see a gay characters, or hear something about how hot lesbianism is on the radio. It puts things in our heads. I wondered about being bisexual for a while, and then it didn't take me long to realize that as stimulating as the physical actions might look, the idea of actually being romantically attracted to another girl completely creeped me out.
