Like I said I think they're inside of me. I haven't commited anything, I just have thoughts or tiny actions. Some haven't applied yet but I'm afraid that I'm going to go crazy. They are like phases I'm going through.
These are the ones I have thought about
Lust- I have sexual thoughts about people just for their looks. Sorta passed that stage
Envy - I get envious when like my friends talk to people or when I don't get attention. But almost done going through
Sloth - Right now I feel Tired all the time, Not feeling school. Still playing activitys like tennis and stuff but feeling sad or depressed. I'm on that stage right now.
Greed - Not greedy. (Yet)
Pride - I don't really know the true definition of pride.
Wrath - I get angry cuz of the envy. (Through this stage)
Gluttony - Not a glutton. I'm skinny.
And what suck is that I'm only 14 =D
What should I do?

Of course you feel that way. That is called the natural man (or woman) you are here on earth having a physical experience and those are physical desires. THe trick is to overcome temptation.
ps- I really doubt you are over lust if you are only 14.

I think you are a normal teenager. Don't be so hard on yourself! A sin is only a sin when it's 'acted' upon. Temptation always comes from the outside. It's a little difficult to live in a box and not have any temptations come at you. What I'm saying is, you are growing up. At this stage of the game, you have a lot of emotions flying around and emotions are not stable - you can't trust them. You are not going crazy, you're just at the age that balance is difficult to find. I take it that you are a Christian (why else do you know of these sins?). I would shift my thinking, if I were you, and think on the good things that pleases our God. That you are a good person. That you are kind. That you are striving to follow Him. That you have joy. That you are compassionate and sensitive to others. God judges people by their heart. He knows our motives. We are not judged for what we don't understand. Remember God loves you, and if you feel you have done a 'wrong', ask for forgiveness, God is faithful. So dear one, take your eyes off yourself and look out to all the opportunities that you can bring joy to others and you will find you don't have much to worry about. Give yourself time to grow up and gain in wisdom. Good luck.

Lust - You need to increase your soul reduce our desires, lower your gaze
Envy - You need to do more looking at yourself other than looking at others
Sloth - That is self explanatory, why do you think they sell so many couches, the thrones in heaven for us all are much greater than any chair they made on earth here!
Greed - The offering of things to others in goodness is greater than anything you will ever gather
Pride - To puff up like a fish, and speak like a donkey is some of the worst things the Lord dislikes us to do
Wrath - The ability to defend yourself but not oppress practise that more than looking beyond your borders
Gluttony - The earth has given us everything and yet we are still thirsty
You need to grow and suffer a bit and you will build a good character... Turn to those in good example around you. The Lord has his shield over you till yet another 2 years, you can correct yourself very easily.

Seek therapy my sweet. You're very young and hormones are raging check out some books on development, physical, emotional and mental. I don't mean any of this to be rude but when you understand your own process into adulthood it will be easier to control all these feelings you're having right now. By the way, the 7 deadly are apart of our primitive selves. It is simply better to accept, recognize and grow.
I hope you feel better soon.

Lemme tell you a secret: ALL sin is potentially deadly. You can't defeat sin - only Jesus can do that. If you choose to believe in Him as your Lord and Savior, then His sacrifice saves you from your sins. It's a very simple, very beautiful, very valuable gift from God...all you have to do is reach out and accept it.

We all sin and are all sinners. You are nor different than us in your sins - God sees all sin equally.
Are you ready to repent? Repent means to turn away from your sin and turn your life over to Christ.
Focus on the 10 commandments. Love God above all others. Love your neighbor as yourself.

All humans are with the seven deadly sins, from one degree or another. It is within human nature.

I have the same story! And I found out that Jesus is the only one who can deal with this problem.

You are only having trouble with some of them. Keep working on them and you will be guilty of them all. I have faith in you and believe you can become sinful as all get out.

The seven deadly sin are NOWHERE in the bible.
We are all sinners, we make sure we know this and god knows this and we learn to deal with it all. You find a way to deal with it..
