The answer

It is forbidden to look at pornographic pictures and films, and one must repent of this sin by feeling remorse and resolving not to return to it.

Strive to convince your father to marry you off, and seek the help of an intermediary for this. If your father insists on not helping, and you are capable, then get married and do not stipulate their approval, and ask Allah to grant you a righteous wife. For the one who marries seeking chastity, it is a right upon Allah to help him. And fast often, for it is a shield for those who cannot afford to marry. Avoid temptations and lower your gaze, beware of bad company, and find righteous companions who will help you remain steadfast and seek beneficial knowledge. And beware of being alone with the Internet.
