Hey,
Here is my advice to you,If you know someone you can talk to maybe your youth pastor and or someone you know that you can trust.And I also think you should talk to your parents I know at times that may be a hard thing to do but tell them what you are feeling.I don't think you should keep this from them b/c sooner or later they will find out and it will be a lot harder then.But before you talk to them I think you should pray first and God is there all you have to do is ask him to forgive you and change you and come into your heart.He wants to have a relationship with you!! I am praying for you.
