Begin praying and seeking an accountability partner.  It is important that we confess our sins, and even our corrupt thoughts to one another.  See suggested requirements for accountability partner below.  Once you have found someone you believe to be a Godly accountability partner, ask your parents before if they agree with your choice.  Once everyone is on the same page, ask that person to be your accountability partner.

Accountability Partner Attributes

1. Someone who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior and is currently pursuing a deeper relationship with Christ.
2. Someone that you know will be honest with you.

3. Preferably someone that is not family.
