Assalam o alaikum!
May Allah accept our efforts! Insha Allah :)
The Doors of Mercy, Doors to Eternal Happiness are Open
Teenage life gets complicated. Especially when we try to live according to people and society, instead of by Islam. Living how our Creator wants is truly the solution to put our hearts in a peaceful state. If we find it difficult to abide by the rules Allah Al-Mighty ordained for us, it's simply because we have let our hearts get diseased and corrupted. We're all messed up. We sin. A lot. We've spent years mindlessly searching for peace in the wrong places and allowing our conscience, our spirit - our "ruh," the part of us that knows the truth- to die. But there is still hope.
Allah is Al-Ghafoor and Ar-Raheem; He is extremely forgiving and always merciful. Sincere repentance can turn mountains of sins into mountains of good deeds! But we must turn to Allah. Satan has numerous ways of tricking us into going astray or earning Allah's wrath, but we must keep in mind that evil is our enemy. Shaitan, the devil, is going to hell and wants to drag us down with him. We must rise above petty desires. This victory is one that leads to eternal happiness; true success. Remember, this life is only temporary; the HereAfter is forever. Forever.... never-ending happiness or punishment after punishment... the choice was given to us, and we must ensure our deeds lead us to a true 'happily ever after.' Call on Allah for help and forgiveness, before it's too late.
"Say (on My behalf), 'O servants of Mine who have acted recklessly against their own selves, do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Surely, Allah will forgive all sins. Surely, He is the One who is the Most-Forgiving, the Very-Merciful. (53) Turn passionately towards your Lord, and submit to Him before the punishment comes to you, after which you will not be helped." (Quran 39:53-4)
Pray and try. It's as simple as that. Allah loves us and does not want hardship for us. He wants to reward His slaves with His generosity. If only we'd try. Sincerely ask Allah to make you righteous. To make us obedient slaves of His. To make us among those He favors, and not those who go astray or earn His wrath. To make sure we do not get misguided after He has guided us. Pray to Allah to accept our good deeds and multiply the reward for us generously. Pray that Allah erases our sins, by His mercy, and does not allow any of our good deeds to go to waste because of them. Oh Allah, guide us to what is right and help us adhere to the straight path. Help us savour the sweetness of true faith and grant our hearts peace by increasing our piety. Oh Allah, protect us from falling into satan's traps and save us from the punishments of the grave and Hell-fire. Ameen

We must all strive to please Allah. We're not perfect and God knows we will make mistakes. True believers feel their sins are mountains of burdens that can come crashing down on them, and they sincerely repent, immediately remembering Allah even after sinning. We can't let shaitan trick us to stop trying to please our Lord. When we lapse into error, we must turn to Allah. Call on Him and hope for His forgiveness. The only way to increase iman is to do good deeds; to worship our Cherisher and Sustainer and follow the way of life our Lord prescribed for us. And if our intentions are pure, In sha Allah (if Allah wills) He shall make the right path easier for us. May Allah forgive us all and help our iman grow. May Allah make us true believers; and not take away our soul until He is happy with us! Ameen.
Jazak Allah! :)
Prayers for you and your family. Peace
