I sometimes feel lustful at school because the girls dress the way they do.

It is hard to stop because its not like I can get away from it- thanks
 
Growing in holiness is about discipline and changing the way one thinks about things.
It doesn’t happen all at once - and life (and the evil one) will keep throwing temptation your way.
It’s important to recognize this and just do the best that you can each day.

Probably the best thing you can do right now is to try to develop the habit of a short prayer or two when you feel tempted or realize you are lusting.
Carrying a rosary in your pocket or wearing a 4 way pr miraculous medal can also help by reminding you of God during the day.

Peace
James
 
My very wise (although illiterate) grandmother once said if there is something you don’t want to see, don’t look.Prayer will help.Ask for the grace of purity,for help to have custody of your eyes.Ask St.Joseph for his prayers also St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Maria Goretti, and of course the Blessed Mother.Praying the Rosary daily is great help and only takes around 15 minutes. Also take this issue to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament He is more than willing to help you.Frequent reception of the Eucharist and well as the Sacrament of Penance also gives one much strength to deal w/ this issue.If you feel yourself lusting don’t dwell on it rather give the thought to The Lord, He knows how to deal w/ such things

A good way to handle this is to keep your eyes guarded by looking down at the floor or at the walls instead of letting them gaze any where they want. I know this may sound like you have to be a monk. But with practise, it does lessen your problem and it really isn’t that hard to do.

Another way is to immediately turn your mind’s attention to thinking about something else without thinking about it. That is, with time, make it a practise when you notice this just right now put another thought in your mind. It becomes easier with practise so don’t give up.
The response eventually becomes automatic without thinking.

Passion dosen’t respond well to fight. So flight is the best thing to do.

By the way, say a prayer for those who are responsible, for your prayers for them will make a difference.

James’ idea of the 4 way medal with the miraculous medal and the sacapular on it is a good idea. Mary promised those who wore the miraculous medal GREAT and ABUNDANT graces if they trusted her. Hold it in your hand and just ask Mary for a GREAT grace. You will be pleasantly surprised at the help you get if you trust her. She keeps her promises.

May God bless and keep you. May God’s face shine on you. May God be kind to you and give you peace.
