Try and keep yourself busy with another hobby and ask a parent to help manage your money.

You need to evaluate what you are spending your money on, how much you really need that item. You also need to set up a budget giving yourself a certain amount of spending money with the balance going into savings and keeping it there. You might stop window shopping or online shopping as well to keep from tempting yourself.
