(Btw, what I mean about "Honest topic", it means that I'm being a bit more..open to tell you how I feel)
Please do not be offended by anything I say.
I feel bad after I commit them..Like kind of guilty.

I don't commit to A LOT of sins, just some of the more common ones now days.
I don't drink or smoke (I'd only drink red wine and I don't plan on doing that Anytime soon. As for other alcoholic drinks or cigs / anything else you could smoke - Never.), I'm 18 and I'm still a virgin. But I do still have sins that I'm involved in, the more common ones.

Greed - Not this one in particular..
Pride - I'm very confident, but I don't consider it as Pride.
Gluttony - (From what I read, this mainly involves food *correct me if I'm wrong*)..I can't even try to be a glutton, stomach won't let me.
Envy - I never really envy anyone or become jealous of anyone.
Sloth - My new years revolution was to do more work and not be so lazy, so this is almost non-existant for me.
Wrath - Well..I have anger issues, so wrath is (or was..) one of my bigger problems for me. But I believe God has fixed that for me. I've became BEST FRIENDS with one of my exes who I had a serious grudge towards, so I'm glad that's over with. :)

Lust - ...
...sigh...this is my problem...I don't want to give out t.m.i ...but sometimes I can't help it when I like someone or find someone attractive.

A part of a definition of this sin from Suite101.com: Online Magazine and Writers' Network is :
"Lust is considering and treating others as mere sex objects, not people but rather dispensable things which gratify sexual cravings. Lust is having someone please you, whether in fantasy or reality; it depersonalizes the object of lust. It divides that which God meant to join together: sexual love with committed married life."

First, I'd like to be honest - In 2012, marriage is pretty much non-existant (In my opinion). But second, of course, whenever I do like a guy, I wouldn't want to just treat them as a "sex object", I would Like to date them or go out with them (you know, usual)..But if I'm really attracted to them, I'm also going to think about sexual things involving them more and more over time. I can't help it. And I kind of feel bad.
Also another thing, I know Lust doesn't just involve guys I meet or talk to in person. It also involves things such as pornography.
I'm NOT ADDICTED TO IT (my father was.), and I haven't been involved in it in a long while, but it has been on my mind at times. I can't seem to help it.
I would mention one more thing..But I Know it's just too much t.m.i.

I know it's commonly heard as being Normal for an adolescence to think like this at times, but should I be extremely concerned with this? I do feel pretty guilty when and after I think about these things. But it comes natural and I kind of can't help it. I mean I'm not truly involved in any other sins, just mainly Lust.

How do you feel about the seven sins?
 
I think gluttony can mean any type of over self-indulgence but I may be wrong too.
I struggle with lust as well on a daily basis. From my experience, it is the hardest sin to turn away from. It's majorly addictive and can chain you down, and will do so if you let it. It is the type of sin that will drive you into the ground quickly and will not let go of you. I don't have any advice for you that may be helpful as I also struggle with what you are talking about, but pray and try to distract your mind with something else when any lustful thoughts try to push themselves in. I use music as my distraction, or reading the bible. You can maybe find something will help occupy your mind when you start having the thoughts. This seems to be the best way for me. And pray. Always pray.
 
I am gonna say this... Please, Please , please... from my heart do not loose your virginity! dont! once you open some doors, you never shut them! secondly sin has no power over you, Christ did it on the cross just for you!
 
Firstly, forget about 'the 7 deadly sins'. This is Not a biblical concept. Either its a sin or its not. I prefer to think of sin as two types. There are sins people commit without intent, such as cussing when you stub your toe, when you normally don't cuss. These sins are not consistent problems that you deal with regularly but just come up randomly.
Then there are the repeat sins, the ones we struggle with. This is things like having a problem with lust, where its a daily or a regular issue that you keep having to fight off, or giving in to.
But bottom line is sin is sin. As Christians we need to always be doing our best to root sin out of our life, regardless of what sin it is.

Gluttony often does refer to food, but not only. Gluttony can refer to any excess.

Also, i see that link you provided is a Catholic site. Personally, i don't accept Catholic as Christian, so what that site would have to say has no relevance to me. I know some will disagree with me, thats fine, i don't care. Please don't make an issue of it and hijack the thread to debate this as i will not respond.
 
i am a diebetic not sever but still am, I constantly have to deal with temptation and almost always fail, lying isn't really that hard for me I can control it but sometimes I lie and I hear a little voice inside my head telling me how lying is bad and I ignore it. but most of the time I accidently blurt out a lie and think why did I do that!? And i suppose i really need to work on being nice to my sister but she is the one person i can never seem to get along with in the house and honestly she grosses me out
