Self contempt means to be disgusted with oneself.
"The obese woman glared at her reflection in the mirror, on her face was an expression of pure self-contempt."
Abetting is used more or less correctly.
I don't think you quite caught the meaning of unconscionable. It would be used more along the lines of:
"To any normal person, the brutal slaying of the young child was totally unconscionable."
For lewd, try using it more like, "The boy was making lewd remarks to the girls." It's not often used so plainly "He was lewd", usually it's more of a description either or a person's words or actions.
Unflaggingly; I see where you were trying to go with that, but again, you're a little off. A good usage would be something like, "In spite of the darkness, the bitter cold, and the pouring rain, the rescuer continued his hike unflaggingly, refusing to give up without finding the missing hiker."
As for culminated, you missed that one entirely. I think you read the definition that says reaching it's highest point? That didn't mean a physical point. Think of culminating like the outbreak of a riot. First, someone yells an insult. Then someone throws a stone. Then someone sets a fire. Finally, all of those smaller actions culminate in the outbreak of a riot. It means smaller events coming to a head in one large explosive event or achievement.
"Five years of intense training culminated into victory in the single moment that the Olympic racer crossed the finish line first."
Hope I was helpful. :-)

Self-contempt means disgust for oneself. "He showed his self-contempt in his body language and tone of voice."
Abetting means helping someone, usually to do something wrong. So your sentence does sort of make sense, but maybe you could say "I was abetting my husband with the bank robbery by waiting in the get-away car."
Unconscionable means without conscience. So again, your sentence shows understanding of the word.
Your sentence for "lewd", meaning rude in a sort of sexual way, is ok.
Unflaggingly means without stopping, persisting even though one is tired or weary, etc. You could say "Despite the disease, she was unflaggingly cheerful."
Culminated means to reach the top or to finish, but you don't usually use the word in terms of reaching the top of a mountain. You might say "The play culminated when the hero was murdered."
I hope this helps.

The car in front of me was releasing an illegal emission. The Confederate states failed at attempted succession from the Union. I thought I would intercede in the argument between my Mom and sister. I wish to submit this quote for review by the board of directors. My goal is to succeed in winning the fall marathon. My submission was rejected by the judges of the contest.
