Strategy #4: Enlist support.
Talk to a pastor, your parents, or another trustworthy authority figure who will understand what you’re going through and support you in your quest to be respectful towards girls and women. In fact, your mom, your dad, or your youth pastor may already be talking with you about this issue. If so, open up. Don’t think you’re the only guy who’s facing these temptations or the only guy who wants to do the right thing. Older and wiser men can be a great support—they know exactly what you’re up against, and they’re there to support and encourage you, to bolster your determination, to provide accountability, and to lend a listening ear.
