It only gets worse..

I am 15 and I've been addicted to porn since I was 13. I live in Europe, I'm muslim and genuinely want to stop. I am not going to go to a therapist or speak to anyone about it because I don't want to and also I won't spend a single penny. There has to be a way to just beat lust for once. I've been caught roughly a year ago and I just keep going there's phases where I do it every day, or once a week. My record is 9 days without porn and masturbating. I was clean for 5 days and relapsed. I love my life and everything but that's what makes me sad, angry, guilty and I don't know how to stop. There are millions of people I've been watching talking about their story and it always leads to therapist or whatever. What I have is apparently a chronic addiction. I wanna get rid of it until it's too late. I don't wanna be an addict for ever and don't want problems with my future family. I know y'all will think im too young to think about these things, but my childhood has been rushed. I genuinely have to stop I'll do anything but those things I mentioned above. Please help me. Thanks.

15M. Toxic dad, financial stress, trying to get independent with a job. How do I survive until I can move out?

Hey everyone, I just need to vent and desperately need some advice on how to handle my situation.
I’m 15 (almost 16), in high school, and my grades are decent. The biggest issue is that my family is broke, I have zero money, and my home life is incredibly toxic.
Right now, it's summer break. I’ve already applied for a part-time retail job because I desperately need financial independence and don't want to waste my time no more. I still want to relax a bit during my holidays, but my dad makes every single day miserable.
For absolutely no reason, he’ll walk into my room, demand I turn off the Wi-Fi, and confiscate my phone. I tell him why he does that and that piece of shit goes like "because I can - because I want" He goes to work 9 to 5 comes home and constantly shittalks my grades, projects failure onto me, and tells me I won't get far in life. He is the definition of an idiot, yet he claims he’s "wasting his energy and lifespan" on me. He deliberately goes out of his way to force me into doing nonsense tasks just to get a reaction out of me and show his dominance. I’m pushing 16, and he is still treating me like a damn 9-year-old.
I feel trapped, angry, and exhausted from dealing with the constant negativity while trying to build a future for myself. All I want is to live a happy, fulfilled, independent, stress-free life where I’m financially secure and surrounded by people who actually care.

* **How do I deal with a parent who constantly targets me, power-trips, and takes my tech?** * **Has anyone worked a part-time retail job at 15/16? What should I expect?** * **Any survival tips on how to cope with the next few years until I am old enough to move out?**

Thanks for reading.

Hustling with 15

I got like 30 euros to my name right now and we kinda tight on money which is the reason our trip to france was cancelled. I got summer break soon and genuinely want some money. I got a Macbook which was a gift from a rich uncle. I figured out very quickly that it would not bring me far in life. I tried everything but its all about some courses and some other bs. Thats why im starting out with tiktok. Some faceless content but if that doesnt work then I really am going to have to work in my local supermarket. Any tips what to actually do? Do I really need to apply for a job? My mom does not like the idea and I dont either but thats how the world works. Im just a stupid 15 year old who wants some money, help your boy out.

Trying to make money with a rich uncle (15 years old)

Hi everyone, I'm 15 years old and my uncle owns a construction company. The problem is, he currently has almost no to a few customers. He even bought me a MacBook so I can help him with the business and concentrate on my path of becoming happy and indepenendant. I really want to take this opportunity to learn something, but I don't really know where to start. If you were in my situation: How would you attract new customers for a small construction company? What marketing methods work best these days? Is it more worthwhile to use Google, social media, direct sales, or something else? What tasks could I realistically take on as a 15-year-old? How do I make money anyways? Any ideas or experiences would be a huge help. Thanks!

How to make money genuinely (Pushing 16)

Guys im so motivated to make money because I got a family trip to France and need some bread there and money for myself. For Context. I got lots of time in the summer break to make money and learn new skills and whatever. I got a MacBook and a phone and actually want to make money and I think that's more than enough to make money isn't it? I could work somewhere locally but that's just not possible where I live. I keep getting ignored after every job application. There's just no interest. Is there anyone that could help me out? I really need the money to finally be independent.

How to make money? (Turning 16)

For Context. I got lots of time in the summer break to make money and learn new skills and whatever. I got a MacBook and a phone and actually want to make money and I think that's more than enough to make money isn't it? I could work somewhere locally but that's just not possible where I live. I keep getting ignored after every job application. I make them all with AI which means that there's just no interest. Is there anyone that could help me out? I really need the money to finally be independent.
