Hello,
I have been looking for a cite like this where I could remain unanimous but ask for help from people who believe in the Lord, I share the same belief but I feel like I have fallen and cant get back up. I am sixteen year old girl, I began to masterbate two years ago, and watch porn. I think since I stress out a lot I need an output. I guess I'm just need of help from someone, or I just need to find out if I still have a chance to be in heaven.
Please help.

I don't think masturbation is going to send you to hell.  It is a sin though, and it can be a pretty tough one to get control of.  I know this firsthand.  Prayer and substitution work well for me.  When I get the urge to look at porn, I just try to remember that nothing in those videos will make my life any better tomorrow than it was today, and I find something else to do.  It can be difficult, but it can be done.

If nothing else, put porn blocking software on your computer. 

Also, please visit XXXChurch.com It's a site dedicated to just these sort of sins and it's been a blessing to lots of people.

IF you are a Christian you will go to heaven but you need help.
Do you go to a good church with a youth ministry? Is there a lady youth worker who you can talk to about this and who can pray with you? Do you have good Christian friends?

As fcadcock says you can get porn blockers for your computer, and maybe you could move your computer from your room into a family room where others can see it.

Of course you "still have a chance to be in heaven." Have you given your life and heart to the Lord? Have you chosen to follow HIM in your life?

If the answer is "yes" then you have a place in heaven. Some may add "have you been baptized?"   If not, you should be at your earliest opportunity.

As to your specific topic, we all have certain sins that we have to deal with. The good news is that God is very forgiving. But that does not relieve us of pushing on to walk more and more righteous.

As long as you are looking to God and battling the sin, you ARE walking by the Spirit.

For you that would mean doing what you can to get rid of the porn. (it really is not good for anyone)
Find another older christian woman (probably married and not  a family member) in your congregation or another congregation that you can be accountable to in looking at the porn.

That would be a good first step.

The porn is a sin.  The Bible seems silent on masturbation (particularly in the NT).  If it is accompanies by impure thoughts (and the porn guarantees that), then the thoughts are sinful.  The act, though, is something about which the Bible is particularly silent (one OT reference to a man spilling his seed as sinful, but it was sinful for another reason).
