My friend got pregnant, she is only 15. Her boyfriend left her. She's still freshman in highschool and her mom is very sick while her dad can't sustain them financially coz of her mom's situation. If she will tell it to her family that she's pregnant, she'll be exiled or outcast. She alson doesn't want to ruin her studies coz her family wants her to succeed but if she'll raise the kid, she'll ruin her life coz her family will get angry and they are in extreme state of neediness. What should we do to abort her baby? (link)
You should all think very hard on this situation. Is abortion really the right choice for her? Is there truly no other way for this to work, or are you panicking a little bit? Is that truly how their family would react?

After you - most importantly she - have thought long and hard, and if the only option is abortion, I cannot stress the importance of NOT doing it yourself. You need to find a medical professional who knows what they're doing. No stairs or coat hanger tricks will ever be safe - EVER - no matter what anyone tells you.

Home abortion methods are all EXTREMELY dangerous and the process should only be attempted by a doctor. I understand there are laws against it, and you should take that into account. But if an abortion is really her ONLY option, find a doctor who can sympathize. If she/you try to perform the abortion, she could end up severely injured, extremely ill, or dead.

I hope you reconsider all of the options before she makes a decision. I wish her the best of luck.


Okay so i just signed with a talent agency october of last year and theyve been emailing me and my mom about auditions and what they have submitted me for the last email they sent me was the 14th last tuesday but have not told me if i have gotten any auditions yet HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM ABOUT ME GETTING AUDITIONS??? thanks (link)
Unfortunately, if I'm correct in assuming you mean auditions for acting jobs, none of us could really tell you how long it will take. It could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years, if you get any at all. Now, I'm not saying you won't get any. Plenty of people get auditions if they're patient enough.

Whether or not you get an audition depends on a few things:

1. How good the agency is at their job.
2. What you look like. (Unfortunately, usually more important than your skills/talents)
3. The quality of your submitted photos/portfolios
4. If the company that receives your portfolio thinks your face will sell their product to their specific target audience
5. If you're a member of the Screen Actors Guild

Here's how the process works:
Your agency sends your portfolio and many others out to producers who are looking for actors. These producers receive hundreds, if not thousands of portfolios. They skim through them, watching for a certain look or appearance, not for talent. They pick out a few hundred people who fit the description they're looking for.

Then they invite these several hundred people to audition. Each and every one of you who is picked gets to sit in a waiting room full of people - all of which look a LOT like you - until it is your turn to go in and audition. You all do the same thing when you're auditioning, and from there the producers pick out a few who they think have the right face/attitude.

From those few people, they separate the SAG members from the pile, and(usually) throw out the rest. Any SAG producer who hires a non-SAG actor has to pay a hefty fine for doing so, because they just hired someone who isn't part of what's basically an actor's union, making sure actors are treated fairly, etc.

Producers don't like to do this because it's a lot of money, and if you aren't a SAG member, you typically haven't played a lead role in anything big. Unfortunately, the only way to BECOME a member of SAG is to play a lead(or at least significant) role in a SAG film.

Basically, you can't work for an SAG producer unless you're in the SAG. But you can't get into the SAG without working for an SAG producer. In other words - this producer has to like you a LOT, think you're great at what you do, and be willing to risk a load of money on you.

So it isn't impossible. It's been done plenty of times before, by every famous(or semi-famous, or even just obscure) actor. But it's tough, and there's no guarantee of success.

I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit.

I have been taking Birth control for about 4 months. In the beginning of january I skipped a whole week (white pills) my step mom told me it was alright, and to continue with my second week as if I took the first. I felt so nauseous during the second week, I through up a couple hours after my pill. The last week came and I never received my period. It is 26 days late and I have an appointment 7 days from now, so it'll be about a month late when i go..I have been feeling sick, and have been having stomach aches. Just not feeling normal. I know Im bound to find out and I am ready for anything but I cant sleep thinking about what it would be. Im so anxious. What could it be? (link)
Well, first we need to know a couple more details. Have you had sex recently? If you have, it's possible - yet highly unlikely - that you might be pregnant. Most birth control pills are only around 89% effective, with the best being about 99% effective. That still leaves 1 out of 100 or 1 out of 10 people on birth control getting pregnant without using any other forms of protection. If you use BCP and condoms together, however, the chances of getting pregnant are reduced to something like 0.0001%.

Another thing we need to know is what you mean by "white pill". From what I've seen of my girlfriend's BCP(she's used a few brands over the past few years), typically the white pills are sugar pills - the ones you take during your period just so you don't forget to keep taking them. The actual birth control pills(Progestin)are typically an orange or red color.

However, with one brand, I noticed this was reversed. So, by "white pill", did you mean the white sugar pills that you take for one week out of four? Because if you missed the sugar pills, you should - like your mother said - be completely unaffected by missing them. But, if they were Progestin, it could affect when you get your period and how much blood there is that month.

My girlfriend learned the hard way that missing a few days of BCP can make your period anywhere from a few days to a month or two late. When she finally got her period after, there was much heavier bleeding.

Anyway, I'm not a professional, and all of this is just from personal experience. I'm not qualified - nor will I pretend to be qualified - to give medical advice on this subject. Please talk to your doctor about any concerns, and they can help you a lot more than I can.

Good luck,

I m failed in ny school preliminary exams and I m in std 10 if my parents will they will beat me a lot and they will be worried a lot and I have decided to suicide ....
is it right ... (link)
Like Logan said, suicide is not the solution. You still have your entire life left ahead of you, and when you get old enough, you can make sure your parents aren't a part of it.

What you should do is contact child protective services. Although, I've never heard of someone threatening to set everything on fire, it could be just what you need to deter them. Or, it could possibly backfire and just make them angry.

Whether you report your parents, or scare them into leaving you alone, show them you will not stand for their abuse and that they will not get away with it.

Do what you will, but remember not to ACTUALLY set anything on fire.

Good luck,
Panda


As the question said, how do I delete my account? (link)
Go to this page: http://www.advicenators.com/faq.php?f=38

It explains all of their policies, etc., and how to delete it.


Okay so i'm 13/f and was looking for anime henati (animated porn) and came across a facebook page with it so i clicked it and keep in mind my facebook account with my age in the settings was signed in and about 10 or 15 minutes later a window popped up and it was like policewatch dot org or something and had all these things saying my ip address and all these fines and that i had been convicted or something of holding/viewing pornography while underage and then said that my browser activity had been banned until my entire pc had been scanned and then when i tried to ex out of pages or change the website im on this window came up saying the same thing that my browsr activity has been banned and i tried shutting my computer down but a thingy came up saying google chrome has kept the compiter from shutting down so i force quit EVERYTHING and shut down my entire computer and im still hyperventalating and im so scared i havnt touched my computer in like an hour am i in trouble is this real please somebody help me because you have no idea how terrified i am (also sorry if wrong category i wasnt sure) (also im using mobile to ask this) (link)
Yes, it is in fact a scam trying to get money out of you.

Well, in order to tell you how to get rid of the virus itself, I'll need some more information. If you send me a private message here on Advicenators, we can talk back and forth a bit more so I have an idea of what exactly is going on. Then I'll be more able to give you a step-by-step solution.

Solving problems like this is actually part of my job at the company I work for, so I should have a pretty good idea of what's going on when I get some more details.

But first, before sending me a message, turn on your computer. Open the internet browser. Go to some usual websites - ones that aren't porn-related because porn sites tend to be loaded up with all kinds of viruses. Now, after browsing the web for a bit(Facebook, e-mail, etc.), is your computer still having problems?


Hi there. I am very interested in theoretical physics. I love math and I am re-learning it from the beginning so that I can get to theoretical physics. Thing of it is, I'm not that into science and technically physics is considered a science subject. So my question is: What K-12 branches of Science are going to be mandatory for me to learn to enter into physics 101? Can I get into physics 101/theoretical physics with just math under my belt? (link)
Well, you're going to want all the math you can get. And I mean ALL of it. "Theoretical" means it can go basically anywhere, using any kind of math it can find to try to find a solution. And when I say any math, I mean ANY math. You'll find yourself using calculus(both types), algebra, geometry, trigonometry, linear algebra, statistics, differential equations, methods of approximation, etc. You'll also want to take physics in high school, and probably chemistry. The two subjects actually have a very strong relationship.

Now, I'm not trying to discourage you, but theoretical physics is a VERY hard field to succeed in. It's basically a career of racing towards an answer and trying to beat(or work for)minds like Stephen Hawking's. You must be VERY determined, VERY focused, EXTREMELY intelligent, and yes, in fact, on a genius scale. Literally.

After all, theoretical physics is the career path of someone trying to answer the great, unanswered questions of the universe, how it works, how it came to be, and if/how it might all end, and when. I've gotten into it myself - not as a career, but as something I work on on the side - and it takes all I have in me not to get completely lost. I took several science and math courses throughout my school years, and tested officially for an IQ score of 148. For comparison, Einstein was estimated to have an IQ of 160, and he was one of the modern fore-fathers of the entire field of theoretical physics.

Now, I'm not saying you can't do it. If you're interested in it, and not instantly bored by the whole concept and the numbers behind it, that shows you most likely are very intelligent. If you want to be a theoretical physicist, you should work your hardest to make that dream come true. Because the world can't solve these questions without brilliant minds, and as far as I know, you could be the future discoverer of time travel.

So you go on and you take classes in calculus, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, linear algebra, statistics, differential equations, methods of approximation, physics, chemistry, and anything else that might be related(the science is advancing at an amazing rate, so this list might not be complete as-is), and you make yourself into a theoretical physicist. I look forward to maybe working with you some day.

I hope this helped.

which apple computer is best (link)
Any question that sounds anything like, "Which [item] is the best of its kind," must always be answered like this:

It really depends what you're using it for.


So, in order to answer your question completely, we need to know what the computer is for. Is it for gaming? Watching movies? Digital art? Reading/editing documents? Homework? Office work? Browsing the web?

A lot of those will have a different answer from the rest. There is no "best computer". No computer is best for everything. If it's for art or video editing, you'll want one with a decent amount of RAM and a fast, dual-core processor(around 3-4GHz at least) with a large, VERY high-res screen.

If you're gaming, you'll want a very similar computer to the one just described, but with even more RAM(at the very least 8GB) and a processor with more cores(4-6). The more cores a processor has, the more multitasking it can do. That's because each core is actually another whole processor built to work in tandem with the other cores, each reading its own line of code. And running high-res games requires a LOT of multi-tasking. That's because there are models to render, textures to apply, physics to calculate, controls to analyze, etc., etc..

For both of the above, you'll probably want a HDD around 750GB at least, most likely closer to the 1-2TB range.

If it's simply for browsing the web, you can get one that's MUCH cheaper that will work just as well. Why spend $1500 minimum on a gaming computer to just use it for Facebook? You'd never use all that processing power you just paid for. 2-4GB of RAM, 300-400GB HDD, a regular screen size(11-14'' is fine), and a dual-core processor around 2GHz.

A computer for office work can have the same specs as a web-browsing computer, but you want to make sure it's a good brand that will last with minimal problems. So, if it's a work computer, you'll have to fork out a little extra. But nowhere near as much as a computer used for gaming or 3D modeling.



I hope one of the above build recommendations fits what you're looking for. If not, just update the question or send me a private message and I'll do my best to help out. If you couldn't tell by now, computers are kind of my thing. :P

If my baby due 22nd July when would i have had sex? (link)
Probably somewhere between October 12th and October 19th. Take your due date, count back 39-40 weeks(length of a pregnancy). This leaves you between the 15th and the 22nd of October. Then, subtract another few days, because sperm doesn't typically fertilize the egg in the first 24 hours. It can take up to 3 or 4 days to reach the egg.

I hope this answered your question fully.

How can I deactivate/deauthorize/disconnect Netflix on a PS3 that no longer turns on? I couldn't seem to find an option for it from my Netflix account settings on the computer. (link)
Go to Netflix on your computer, and on the top right, hover over your profile image. A dropdown menu should appear. Click on "Your Account". From there, there is an option near the bottom that says, "Sign out of all devices."

Click that, and you'll be signed out of all of your devices. A while back I had the same problem with a broken XBox 360, and after contacting customer support, they told me this was unfortunately the only way.

Don't worry, though. It will only log you out of them - not ban them from your account. So you'll just have to log back in on the devices you want to use with Netflix.

I hope this helped.

what is the average life span of a dog? (link)
Well, that really depends on the breed. Small dogs(shih tzus, chihuahuas, etc.)tend to live much longer than large dogs - sometimes even around 20 years or so. Bigger dog breeds(mastiffs, danes, etc.)tend to only live around 5-7.

I believe a lot of it has to do with the efficiency of their organs. Smaller bodies typically means less work for the organs, and thus a longer life span. Massive breeds, however, put a lot more strain on their bodies simply by being large. This is a very similar concept to gigantism(the growth disorder)in humans. People with gigantism have so much extra strain on their bodies that they hardly ever live to their 30s.


I am in middle school in 7th grade.I am 13. There is a boy named Ben, he really likes me. He started liking me when he saw my hair. Every time i try opening my locker, he just comes behind me and hugs me really tight. You know what I mean. I have told like 10 times. He got a lot of this and suspended. i tell the teachers i trust. i tell them cause sometimes they see me curse at that boy who likes me and if i don't tell them they have to write me up for cursing. he always tries to kiss me but i don't let him. one time he looked at me in a love look and i was scared he would do something and he did . he kissed me really fast from the mouth. everybody the hallway saw us. i ran to the restroom and i was crying. my teacher came and talked to me. and she said if you keep telling he will go to jail cause he might do something bad to you.. i really don't have that kind of that hard heart. my parents don't know because if i tell them they will not let me go to school anymore or they will just leave thr whole state. a lot of boys liked me but not as much as this boy does. i just can't describe how much he likes me. he says that he will do anything just for me. every day when he sees me he says "your hair is so cute". in the classroom ,sometimes my teacher steps out to talk with others, he tries to hug me and i just don't let i tell him to get off of me or let go of my hand, and when sometimes i stand up he just pulls me to the wall and tries to kiss me. but my friends save me from him.even if we have a party, i can't enjoy myself. yesterday in the after noon he hugged me from the back,putting his hand around my back and stomach,he said" where ever you go i will follow you. if anybody doesn't give you to me, i will just take from them. and that is a promise" i was crying in the bathroom:(, i am so scared. i really don't know what to do.please help :( (link)
Well, first, I should tell you that kissing someone is NOT by any means considered rape. Rape is forcing someone to have sex.

The best thing you can do is tell your parents. They won't take you out of school - that's illegal. They won't move out of state either. They're not going to go through a very long process which involves spending at LEAST $60,000, probably more than $100,000.

What your parents WILL do is go to the school and talk to the teachers. School administrators ALWAYS take things more seriously when parents get involved, because they want to avoid a law suit. They will even most likely get the boy's parents involved, who should then realize they need to discipline their son.

So, tell your parents, and let them take care of it. That's what parents are for.

I hope you take this advice and that this problem is resolved.

I'm 15 and I do masturbate using an extra vibrating toothbrush and a back massager I got from target. I don't have anything else but my fingers to use for penetration. I do believe I climax because my back arches and it's the most amazing feeling ever. But the problem is I can't "squirt". I don't know how to make myself reach that point. Help?? (link)
To be completely honest, not all women CAN "squirt"(aka "female ejaculation"). It's sort of a randomized hit-or-miss situation. Some women squirt every time they orgasm, and others never ejaculate. A larger number of women only ejaculate during more extreme orgasms.

They can all secrete fluids, but not all of them have the physical ability/reactions that actually cause the fluids to squirt. Squirting is caused by a certain series of muscular contractions that a woman has during an orgasm, but not everyone reacts the same way during orgasm.

So, you may not be able to. Or, you may just require the kind of feeling that only another person's touch can give you.

Now, I'm not saying to go look for someone to make you squirt, as you are only 15. At your age, intimate touching and sexual intercourse can be perfectly ok if you're ready for it, if it's with someone you care about and trust, and most importantly if you practice safe sex.

Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. You'll find out some day whether or not you can, but for now, just enjoy the orgasms you DO have.

I hope this helped you feel a little better. :)

A solid substance of cylindrical shape, 43 inches of circumference and 1 feet length. Is how much cubic feet? (link)
Well, first you need to fid the radius.
Let's say radius = r, and circumference = C

r = C/2pi
Or radius equals the circumference divided by 2pi

r = 43/2pi

= 43/(2*3.14)

r = 6.85

From there, the formula is this:

Volume(V) = pi*(r*r)*h

V = 3.14*(6.85*6.85)*1

V = 3.14*46.92

V = 147.34 cubic feet


hi am a female 21 and can i get pregnant if my periods are 5 days and how soon can i take a pregnancy test? (link)
I'm a little confused what you're actually asking. The title says "How to get pregnant", so I'll go from that.

The most likely way to get pregnant is to have vaginal intercourse frequently during/before ovulation. Ovulation is the stage of the menstrual cycle just before your period.

If you're still having periods, you are not pregnant, unless you are experiencing serious medical problems. Some pregnancy tests may be accurate as early as 2 weeks after contraception. Tests done professionally by a doctor can be accurate earlier, around 10 days.

I hope this was helpful,

what is a quick and painless way of killing myself? (link)
I know that life may not seem worth living to you right now, but that won't always be the case. Things do get better, and you can live a long, happy life.

You need to see a therapist, and possibly a psychiatrist. They can help you feel better, and prolong your life. They can help you improve your life.

I've been down this rough road myself, and have seen others go down this road as well. Almost all of us got treatment, and the ones of us who did feel much better now. Some of the ones who didn't, ended up taking their lives, and all it accomplished was leaving behind grieving loved ones who would never completely recover.

Life is a precious thing, and should not be so quickly dismissed. There are people who love you, and would be hurt if they lost you. Please, seek immediate help.


The lump hurts. It hurts when I move. It's in between my breast. I can't see it, but I can feel it and it's big. I have cystic acne and sometimes I get it on my chest and back. I've been to the doctor for my acne plenty of times in the past and nothing has helped. This lump hurts though and I can't see a doctor cause I don't have insurance. Could it just be a big acne bump or something else?
(link)
I would - despite your insurance situation - see a doctor. This might be acne, but it could be something much more serious, like cancer. I - not being a doctor, and not being there to examine you - cannot tell you exactly what it is, but I can tell you a few possibilities.

It could be acne. It could be cancer. It could be a painful calcium buildup under your skin. The only person who can tell you for sure is a doctor. And if you can't afford the bill, there are financial assistance programs. Find one, and see if it will cover this. But you need to see a doctor.

Good luck, and good health,

I'm trying to install a program called Bluestacks on my HP mini Notebook laptop. At first I think the program just wouldn't install on my laptop and went to try it on my desktop only to discover that it will run on my laptop, I just can't see the button to continue with the installation. The button is as the very bottom of the install window and no matter what I do, I can't get my Botebook to show it to me. The screen is too small and I can't push the installation window up high enough to reach the button enough to click it.

I hope that made sense, I had trouble trying to figure out how to explain. Can anyone help? I'd really rather not have to use the program on my desktop, but rather my laptop. (link)
I used to have a netbook myself, and hated it for that very reason. Everything was always too big for the screen.

Fortunately, there are some ways to fix this. If something on a web page is too big, you can do one of two things:
1. Go to settings. Find "Zoom" and adjust the number below 100% until everything is visible.
2. Place two fingers on the touchpad on opposite sides, and slide them both towards the center of the touchpad. This should zoom out.

Unfortunately, your problem isn't in a web browser. There are two things I could think to try off the top of my head:
1. Place two fingers side by side on the touchpad, and slide them down. This should scroll downwards.
2. Place two fingers on the touchpad on opposite sides, and slide them both towards the center of the touchpad. This should zoom out.

If I can think of anything else, I'll update my answer. For now, I'll try to dig out my old netbook from the closet and get it working well enough to try a few things myself.

I hope this was helpful,

Will it burn out my 8GB 2nd gen iPod Nano if I use my iPad 1 charger to charge it with? I lost the original charger to my iPod and I have an extra iPad charger I was going to use but I couldn't find anything definite online telling me if it was okay or not. Everyone was mixed and unclear. (link)
Nope. They're all the same 5V charger from Apple, as long as it isn't an iPhone 5 cord or the new iPad cord, on which case they don't even fit in the older ones.

The number of GB has nothing to do with the charger. That's just how much memory space it has.

Have a great day. :)
Feel free to send me any other tech-related questions.

I accidentally hit the back of my head on a corner (not sharp) of my cabinet. It isn't bleeding or anything (It didn't bleed at all), but I'm kind of scared I might have a concussion or something... I remember who I am and where I am, obviously, haha. I can't go to the doctor.

Also, if age matters, I'm 13. (link)
I agree with solid. See an adult an have them check for pupil dilation. If they don't know how, have them shine a bright light in your eye, remove the light quickly, and watch to see if the pupil(black dot) changes size. If it does, you're ok as far as a concussion.
