This is a wee bit confusing. Please remember to press spell check in the future. =]
Anyway, I think what you're trying to say is that lately you have been feeling farther away from God and doing things you aren't so proud of, whatever those things may be.
In my opinion, you don't need youth group or church or the Bible or any of that to be closer to God. God is all around you. All you have to do is take notice. Try spending some time with nature, looking for the beauty in it. Or try spending some time with your soul. Find a quiet, comfortable place, close your eyes, focus on your breath, and try to clear your mind. It might be hard at first, but with time you'll get better and better and it will make you feel refreshed and in touch with God.

I'm sure you mean "pray," don't you?
Just because you're not in youth group doesn't mean you can't pray. Get out your Bible. Read a little bit every morning or night, and simply talk to Jesus as though you were talking to a friend. He's there waiting to hear from you.
Or, call up some of the kids from the youth group and have them come over for some snacks and an evening devotional where you all read a passage together and then everyone can share what part of the passage is saying something to them.

Why don't you read the bible with a dictionary, concordance and atlases, read it from Genesis all the way through to Revelation and that way you will know everything God said and all the prophets. This is what I am doing, (though I'm only up to Isiah) after you have read it you can start focusing on different subjects, like Jesus in the Old Testament, and women in the bible, anything that you are interested in.
I'm also trying to set up a bible study group at my church where we all have a subject and then study it ourselves and come together at the end of the week to compare notes - perhaps your church may have something like that?
Good luck with this, I think you're doing the right thing.

Prayer is only one of the ways to stay close to God.
Read the Bible (starting with The Gospel of John). Read it often.
Find a church that preaches and teaches the Bible and has a youth class for your age. Fellowship with other believers helps so much.
God bless you in your quest to become closer to God
James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Talk to Him. It's not that hard. Tell Him you know you messed up but you love Him and want to be delivered from that which is keeping your from getting close to Him. Read, study and meditate in The Bible daily because all you need to know about God is in there! Don't let people who do not believe in God tell you about Him because the devil will use them to lie and deceive you. Start with John 3:16, John 8:32, and Joshua 1:8. God bless.

Now would be the time to ponder the scriptures carefully and prayerfully, to change the things in your life that are distancing you from Him, and pray to find a way to become closer to Him.

Layla,
spend some time every day reading and studying GOD'S WORD. I suggest that you also pray daily. I pray in the morning, in the evening, at every meal, and whenever I feel like talking with HIM. HE is always there and is glad to listen when we speak with HIM. Have a great evening and a wonderful week.
Thanks,
Eds

Take a World Religion class and try to get closer to Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom (I'm betting she knows how to spell ;-) )

All of us need to continue on the path and trusting god is the most important step we need to take.
Trust God to be there for you; trust God to hold your hand; trust God to lead you the right way, and most of all, TRUST that God's love for you knows no bounds!
