Maybe is because of your parents too .
I dont mean that is your parents's fault only but i guess they did not know how to react , especially if they are religions .
As children we had very sensitive soul and feelings
No i dont think ignore your urges is a such a good idea.
Because this is exactly what i did when i was teenager and i thought it will go away.
It will not go away , sexual desire it will be always inside of us and if we pressure ourselves to not feel sexual desire then it will get worse.
I am afraid that i will start to see people as sexual objects and not like human beings .
A good idea to express our sexual desire is to masturbate everyday and we can use sexual aids , not pressure it.
