Answer:
I've been thinking alot about everything thats going on. How since i am cutting the very last thing i wanna do is bring a baby into my mess. I was thinking about abortion......not exactly what i WANT to do, but I couldn't possibly take care of another kid, since i have to take care of my 3 younger siblings and my brother's child. I keep praying for god to somehow show me what to do, how to handle this, but i'm not seeing anything...i'm going to give it a little longer..but right now abortion seems like the easy way out.
Answer:
Hun abortion isn't an easy way out. There are options like adoption that your baby could have a good home without you having to provide that home.
I know that right now it seems like the only thing that can help you to cope is to cut. That you need that pain and that control to make it through this. I understand that.
I also know that cutting isn't the answer and that it isn't the only way or the best way to cope.
Answer:
Wow seems like you could really use some help !!! well...i'm praying for you!
Answer:
I'll be praying for you and your family

Please give the baby up for adoption if you don't think you'll be suitable to raise it.
Abortion is not an option.
Answer:
I have prayed for you and will continue to do so.
As far as the abortion goes, all I can say is "don't do it". God gave you that baby for a reason. He didn't do it to punish you, He brought it out of the bad circumstances as a blessing. If you don't think you can handle the child then please put it up for adoption.
Praying.

Answer:
I struggle with the cutting myself. everyday i try not too, and somedays i give in. but to help i've set this up. for every time i cut i do a extra hour of bible reading. since i do at least a hour everyday i feel like reading more seems to help. It's hard to tell where you'll b in the future if you keep cutting. but I know one thing, if you keep cutting you'll NEVER be happy.
as for the child thing, i have two and i'm 19. everyday i wonder what it would have been like if i wouldn't have had my children. where i would have gone what i would have done...you can't change the past but you can effect the future. i'd say your best bet at your age would be to put the child up for adoption. and i'd say abortion is strictly out of the question. Because raising a child at only 15 is hard. take your life one step at a time..and never have to wonder what would have happened if......
Answer:
I have never cut, but I kind of understand your stress of raising a child. I am going to university, working and raising a son. The only advice I can offer is trust God. Your situation may seem impossible but the impossible is God's specialty. Every time that I have trusted God he has brought me through whatever it was I needed.
As for abortion, I do not think you should do this. There is a whole emotional side to abortion that I don't think you are taking into account. If you are struggling with cutting, abortion won't help that. I know many people who say the emotions they go through after an abortion were not worth the procedure. There are many families who take a newborn in as their own. I would encourage you to consider adoption.
As others have said, you can PM me. As a single parent I may have some advice and encouragement to offer.
