The problem might be that everything you're thinking about when you get ready for sex makes the problem worse. First of all you're young, so you naturally have a high sex drive: and that in itself makes you very ready to ejaculate. Second, you know you are going to come quickly, so naturally your attention is focused on that expectation. Third, your partner may be young and inexperienced as well, and looking to you for a lead during sex, so that will put even more pressure on you.
We do have several suggestions, though. First of all, masturbate some time before you have sex so that you have perhaps a chance of lasting longer when you have sexual intercourse. Then, during sex, deal with your premature ejaculation with some mental and physical techniques. As soon as you feel you are about to come during sex itself, stop thrusting, lie still, think of something else. In other words, take yourself mentally out of the situation. After two or three minutes your arousal should have dropped, so you can then go back to thrusting - but take it slowly. Slow and steady will help you last longer. If you feel yourself getting too aroused, then slow down the pace of intercourse or withdraw altogether from your partner.
If this doesn't help you last longer, close your eyes and think of something else. Take yourself out of the moment, count to thirty and then back down again. Or alternatively, try using pressure to stop yourself from coming too quickly: squeeze your penis just below the head between your finger and thumb or ask your partner to do it. It may also help if your partner doesn't get you too aroused during the early stages of sex. Avoid, for example, oral sex, or masturbation. Make those separate activities which you enjoy when you aren't going to have full penetrative sex.
This way you may find it easier to control your ejaculation.
There is more your partner can do to help you control your ejaculation. First of all, she can take pressure off you by agreeing that if you come before she is satisfied, you can masturbate or give her oral sex until she has had an orgasm.
During sex, if you need to stop thrusting to allow your arousal to drop, remind her to stay turned on by using fantasy or by touching herself in a way that keeps her aroused. Ask her if she is willing to help you learn greater self-control by assisting you with the stop-start technique or the squeeze technique. Better yet, sign up for the control program described on this website (click here) and ask her to help you with the methods that it describes!
Lasting longer is not a matter of chance - it is a matter of experience, skill and confidence. Premature ejaculation can be confidence sapping, but it doesn't need to be - and if you have a confident, happy relationship, it is easy for a couple to work through the issues and find a long term solution.
Think of something else (even though it's not very fun to). That's how I managed to prevent premature ejaculation. Even now sometimes when things get REALLY hot I have to think of baseball.
Lots and lots of foreplay and lots and lots of sex. That way you are less excited when you get down to intercourse.
