Hi I'm a Christian and I'm 16 and come from an abusive home. For six months I've been living with my pastors who felt that god had asked them to offer for me to stay here. A few weeks ago, my guardian (the make pastor) and I were sitting in the lounge room, I was really upset and he was trying to make me laugh, (I was lying down on the footon) he lied down and wrapped his aromas around me and I ended up turning around to face him, things got really heated and we ended up kissing. When I get myself into those situations I honestly don't know how to get myself out, whether I want to be there or not. :( I got upset later on and his wife knew something was up, so she asked him and he told him. She was heartbroken but more upset that I had been hurt, she was upset that in their home they couldn't keep me safe, this wasn't what they anticipated when they brought me out of my old home. Anyway it now looks like I'm going to be moving out, and I've been really okay with it all, I'm just feeling broken with everything at the moment and I keep bringing it to God but I'm just so lost and so hurting at the moment that all I want to do is hurt myself or do drugs or drink (I know they all sound silly, but it's what I've grown up with and it's what my past coping strategies were) I'm just so scared and feel so alone :(

I will keep you in my prayers. I'll pray that you find someplace good to stay and quickly. Do you have any relatives or friends you could stay with? I will pray that God protects you also. God bless.

I wish i could reach out and hug you. Its got to be scary but dont let the devil tempt you! Delve into your bible and or prayer. I know how scary it is to move i panic at the thought anymore. New place new people dont know how you will be accepted or if it will be the same as it has been. Look at it this way eventually he will bring a beautiful life from all your pain. If you have a way to listen to music look up Superchik beauty from pain. When i was going through my trouble the lord spoke to me through this song the first time i heard it i bawled like a baby! Keep strong keep your chin up thing will get better. You will be in my prayers.

One of these days after all this is over you might run into someone going through what you are now and will be able to help them out through Christ and your testimony.

The problem with drugs and alcohol is that they're expensive, don't fix the problems you do have, and they tend to cause more problems in the future if you use them as a crutch.

The problem with hurting yourself is that it can be very dangerous and it can scar your body. You should try to learn how to cope with your problems without hurting yourself, but if you can't, it's worth trying a few pain alternatives - such as holding an ice cube against your skin until it's numb or pouring hot wax on your skin. I'm not sure how well these alternatives work, but they're worth a shot - but you should try not to hurt yourself at all first and foremost.

You need to develop an idea of who you want to be, and aim towards becoming that person. Develop a goal-oriented mind set, and figure out ways in which you can discipline yourself. This isn't nearly as boring as it sounds. Often, it involves discovering new hobbies, finding people with common interests to talk to (interests that aren't detrimental to your well being), and finding inner strength.

Talking out your problems can be wonderful therapy as well.

That's the best advice I can give with my limited knowledge of who you are.

Here's a song you might enjoy: THINGS I LIKE WHEN I'M DEPRESSED - YouTube
(Warning: Some of the author's OTHER videos can be very inappropriate - the one I linked, however, is not).

Always feel free to message me if you have any questions.
