Self mutilation is done as a relief from an unnamed internal pain. the external pain that results from the cutting or biting or whayever, is actually a type of anesthetic for the internal pain--because the external, self inflictrd pain temporarily distracts from the chronic internal pain (despair, or sense of being trapped, etc.) So the only help for a person practicing self mutilation is the willingness to face the underlying internal pain that makes external pain seem like a relief. Only God's love can cure hopelessness for any of us. Find a Bible church with a strong youth group if the person mutilating is a youth-age. Ask God for wisdom--He promised in His Word to give to all who ask.

Ask your self this question like "Do I want keep my child?" If yes then ask your self "Can I raise my child on my own or will need my boyfriend's help?" and continue asking your self questions until you build a plan on raising a child. If you ask your self "Do I want keep my child?" and said no then you ask your self "Can I live with a pregnancy termination?" or if you have adverse religious or moral objection to abortion then ask yourself "Can I live with putting my child up for adoption?" If you're still worried that you are doing things wrong, or unsure about how to go about it, then go to mom and dad, go to a priest/rabbi/preacher, call a help line. Basically go to someone who you respect and has experience in unplanned pregnancies to help you.
