President Monson in this talk reviews what we need to do to be righteous and why:
1. Do not subject yourself to the innuendo and outright filth which are so often found there.
2. I am sorry that any of us is subjected to profane language, and I plead with you not to use it. I implore you not to say or to do anything of which you cannot be proud.

3. Stay completely away from pornography. Do not allow yourself to view it, ever.
4. Avoid alcohol and tobacco or any other drugs, also addictions which you would be hard pressed to conquer.
6. If you do not already have a testimony of these things, do that which is necessary to obtain one
7. Once obtained, a testimony needs to be kept vital and alive through obedience to the commandments of God and through regular prayer and scripture study. Attend church. You young men, attend seminary or institute if such is available to you
8. Choose a companion
carefully and prayerfully; and when you are married, be fiercely loyal one to another.
I think there were more but I was having trouble with the church's highlighting feature.
Those were the action items that I caught out of President Monson's talk. The part about protecting our marriage and being fiercely loyal was particularly meaningful. It always takes effort.
