I'm a Christian-Orthodox and I'm in Lent. I want to fast. But I can't control my sins. In time of a fast we join Jesus' Passions. But I've masturbated. This is a sin. There are just few weeks till Holy week. Please tell me how to stop it happens.
I'm so guilty/ Easter Lent

Pray and repent. Simple as that. 
You don't need to fast to repent of your sins. Oh, and I received your friend request, but I don't friend guys until I've interacted in the forums with them for quite awhile. Nor do I friend the ones who send me a request on the same day they join.

Nor do I friend the ones who send me a request on the same day they join.Thanks for advice. But that isn't so easy. My soul is broken: Jesus suffer and is crucified and I do sins. I follow a food fast but I really want to not sin anymore. P.S: Which religion do you are?
The ONLY way to be forgiven of your sins is to repent them to God. Ask him to help you overcome your sins by taking those temptations away. I suggest you get rid of any thing that makes you want to do those things: videos, books, pictures. Throw them all out and get them out of your house. By the way, I am a christian.
Of course you are Christian, but you can't be a sheep without pastor. Jesus have given power to his Apostles and they become priests and they've given power to others and made them priests and so on. I'm a siner, how could I ask something to God. Jesus let his Apostles to do the communication between human and God.
Sorry, now I need the help of priests, persons assigned by Jesus to help us. Why are you learn people? Don't you know that in the Bible Jesus said that an impure person can't learn a pure christian teaching. I think I need a confession. This is a Holy Mystery.
God is the ONLY authority with the power to forgive sins. Priests and pastors cannot do that. That is what catholics believe--that they can confess their sins to a priest, instead of confessing them directly to God. You cannot and will not be forgiven your sins, by a mortal human. You MUST repent to the one true God in heaven. Jesus gave his apostles the power to do certain things in his name. He has NOT given that same power to priests and pastors. If you believe he has, you are fooling yourself. We are to pray to God, and to him only. We are to ask him for everything, and believe that we will receive it.
Priest can't forgive sins but they are a means bethween us and God. They have the power submitted from Jesus through his Apostles. The Apostles did confession. Do you think they get wrong? All what Jesus did is a Holy Mystery. If you don't need a priest how do you eat the holy Eucharist? The Apostles did Holy Communion.
Do you think that the Holy Light from Jerusalem which appears in the day of Easter is a fake. Why did it appears at Orthodoxy.
You are deluding yourself. Priests ARE NOT a means between us and God. Jesus Christ alone is our mediator and intercessor. I just told you that priests and pastors DO NOT have the power to forgive men's sins. Priests are NOT apostles. Christians don't eat the holy eucharist, CATHOLICS do. And from the way you talk, you sound more catholic than christian.
Where in the bible does it say that an impure person can't learn a pure christian teaching? If that WERE true, then none of us would ever learn anything about the bible. Take your catholic blinders off and wake up. What you need is to confess your sins to GOD, NOT MAN. Ain't nothing mysterious about that at all.

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Tim 2:5
The mediator between man and God is your high priest, Jesus the Son of God.
"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession." Heb 4:14
Chatolics too are Christians. Orthodox-Christian, Catholic-Christian. Read the Epistles of St. Paul. He say that if a christian doesn't go to church, the he'll be anathematized. You don't have church. St. Paul also talk about Holy Eucharist. He say that we must eat that.
Absolutely not. Catholics are NOT christians. They do alot of things that christians don't do. Catholics pray to Mary in the belief that she's an intercessor to God. She isn't. Catholics use rosaries to say Hail Mary's. Catholics bow down to statues of Mary. They also bow down to and worship the pope. That is idol worship. Catholics bow down in church and cross themselves before and after they pray. Catholics believe Mary can hear and answer prayers. She can't do either one, she is dead. Bones and ashes is what Mary is. Catholics believe Mary was born sinless and remained that way her entire life. Catholics eat the holy eucharist. Catholics do, say and believe alot of things that christians do not.
Christians do NOT pray to Mary. We do NOT believe she is an intercessor to Jesus on our behalf. We do NOT use rosaries OR pray Hail Mary's. We do NOT bow down to her, or the pope. We do NOT idolize Mary. We DO believe she WAS born a sinner AND remained one until her death. We do NOT eat the eucharist. We do NOT believe that Mary can hear prayers OR answer them. We do believe that Mary was the mother of Jesus. However she is NOT the mother of GOD. You've been blinded by the evil ways of catholicism. I suggest you repent TO GOD before it's too late.

We are to confess our sins to each other, to help each other fight it.
that means, if we go to the same church, I tell you what I struggle with, you tell me what you struggle with, "John" and "Jack" and "Katie" and all the others join in, and we try to help each other
and yes, the apostles did communion, without a priest, with each other
None of them were priests.You are wrong: Christianity is a religion decided in 3 major religions: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestants. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity)
We can pray to Virgin Mary and we can communicate with her as Jesus talked with Elia and Moses an the mountain.

JESUS!
That's the whole point
Dear, dear Alexander. I will never say that Catholics are not Christians, but what you said here scares me
How can you not know?
This is the very reason why Jesus came!
Before Jesus, yes, we DID need priests, and the blood of animals to mediate
Now, after Jesus died and rose, HE is our mediator! We can stand boldly before the throne of God! We are forgiven!
Here He say that He is God:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”
