Basically I had around 7.50 on my iTunes credit and I bought an iTunes card today and it was 15 and after I redeemed it, I had around 21 for the iTunes credit. I spent 11 dollars in about an hour. Somehow, I now have a dollar on there. What do I do? I checked my purchase history and it does say I spent around 11. Also, on my other devices it continued saying I had 7 dollars and on my phone it said I had 21, but after I bought everything, I still had a dollar. Do I contact iTunes? I don't think this has anything to do with the store I bought it (it was a grocery store) in.

I'm making a roller coaster and i'm using 3 marbles, the largest is like an inch or two wide and the smallest is maybe a little less than half an inch. My science teacher said that there are some foamy tubes used for plumbing and stuff, but I don't know where I could buy it.

I have this teacher for Algebra and I'm done with her. On Monday, she made us read the textbook for the ENTIRE hour that we, the students, have her for. The textbook didn't explain anything and when we asked for clarification, she got up from the computer (yes, she spent the entire period on the computer) and yelled at us to read the textbook. Today, she gave us an assignment (I believe it was how to graph slope and y-intercept) and the textbook didn't tell us how to graph it and we asked her. She kept on saying, "Read your book." Well, I read the entire chapter that we were working on and it didn't tell us how to graph it. After about 10 minutes of the class bugging her, asking how to graph, she got up from her computer (once again, she spent the entire period on the computer), walked to the board, and explained. When someone asked about something, she ignored him and said, "I already taught you guys, do your work!" and sat back down.

Her job is to teach, she went to school for that job. It's in her job's name! TEACHer! I tried talking to the counselor at my school and she said to go on this website. That website didn't help that much. I asked if I could change to a different algebra teacher and she said I have to wait till December. I have a B- in that class, usually my lowest grade is a B+ (and highest is always A+)! What do I do? My grades mean a lot to me and I don't want to allow a teacher that doesn't care about her job be the reason that I have to retake algebra in high school (I'm in the 8th grade)

The problem is y=3/2x

My friends and I are planning to go watch The Mortal Instruments next Monday, but then I realized that the movie came on on August 21st, it'll be September 16th by the time we go see it. Do you think that we should go see it this week? I've been wanting to see the movie for a while now (I'm at the 3rd book by the way, I heard that the movie spoils the plot twist from the 3rd book) and would be really disappointed if they stopped playing it by the time we would go see it. So, around how long does it take for them to stop playing a movie at the movie theaters? Around 3-4 weeks? Or does it depend how good/bad the movie is doing?

I saw a commercial for the movie and found out that an artist that I enjoy listening to sings a song for the movie and decided I should read the book, I'm barely on like chapter 4 of the first book (it's really interesting so far for me), but I just found out that it's similar to Twilight. I know that Twilight is based on romance and I dislike it, I'm a girl, but I hate books that are based on romance, I find them really cheesy and stupid how the girl focuses on the lover and doesn't do anything with her life if he's not with her. I bought it at Target and it was in the "Middle School Readers" area (or "Middle Grade Area). I know someone didn't just throw it there because

1. The book had the label saying, "The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones" under the stack of books.

2. The other books from the same series were next to it

If it is a book based on romance, please tell me. Is it like...completely a romance book? Like, the book would be under the"Romance Novels" section at Barnes And Noble? Or is it mostly action and has a few romance scenes?

Well, I'm mostly scared of growing up and being stuck working as something I hate for the rest of my life. It scares me that what I do this year (I'm in 8th grade) will affect who I am in high school and what classes I will be in. Today was the first day of school and one of my teachers was talking about how in 4 years (he thought all of us were 14, but most of the 8th grades are 13 at the start of the year, unless they failed a grade) we will all be 18 and have to go to college and obviously that didn't help at all, it only worried me even more.

I'm doing good in school, last year I had straight A's, the year before that I had almost all A's (I did all the work for all my classes, but I didn't understand most of it), and for elementary, I was always one of the top 5 students. I'm just worried about messing up and not being able to live my dream/reach my life goal.

It's an HP laptop and today it started making a clicking noise when I turned it on. It stops for a while and starts again randomly (the clicking noise, not the laptop). I was looking at other questions that a similar to mine, but theirs is coming from the RIGHT side, the noise is coming from the LEFT side, I don't know if it's the fan that is clogged up, or if it's just getting old (I had this laptop for 3 years). If it's the fan getting clogged, how can I clean it?

I heard somewhere that if you don't eat, then you will gain weight due to only eating 1 or 2 meals per day. If that's true, why do people with eating disorders get so skinny? I though that if you ate less, the less weight you would gain, but some people I know keep saying that you have to eat 6 meals (small portions) a day to stay healthy (depending on what you eat). Can someone explain this to me?

On Friday for science class I will be dissecting a heart. 2 weeks ago, I dissected an eye (well, my friend did, I only poked what was inside the eye and removed a few things inside it) and didn't have gloves. I kind of want to take gloves because my science teacher said that the goat heart will be bloody, but in the same time, I don't want to look like a chicken who can't handle holding something bloody.

Should I wait till next week, when we dissect a frog, to take gloves, or take them on Friday and next week?

I WILL take gloves for the frog dissection, but I'm not sure if I should for the goat heart.

P.S. sorry if this is in the wrong category, I'm not sure where to put this question.

For a homework assignment, I'm doing a powerpoint on University of California Santa Barbara. I need to find an article on it, but I can't find any on it (it's due on Friday and the article is the only thing I need to do to finish it).

Long story short, when I was 8 years old, I played Club Penguin, met some people, talked through them through YouTube, became close with them, added them on Facebook. Before I added them on Facebook, I skyped with them (using a Skype I made just for that) to make sure they are real. Anyways, I did that with all of them, except one, who I pretended I was "sisters" with. Well, she left for France (or so she says) in 2009. She came back in 2011, me being the stupid 11 year old I am, quickly added her on Facebook. The people I skyped with think she's fake. I agree with them, but we also think, "What if she is real? We all know that we don't want her to feel bad." The thing is, she claims she's 16, but was born in 1995, another friend (who I skyped with), was also born that year and is 17. The one who we think is fake claims her birthday is on September 12, but she said that RIGHT after the 17 year old said her birthday was on September 13. The 17 year old said that she was born around 10 AM, so did the "fake profile" (let's call her that). Also, she has 3 Facebook accounts. She uses them all. One of the people I skyped with said that usually some people have multiple accounts so it's harder to track down the real one. By the way, most of the pictures look professionally taken. The fake profile said she wanted to be a model and even posts some of her "model pictures," but even before she said that, they looked professional. Also, when she claimed she was in France, her super early pictures showed a somewhat pale 15-16 year old looking girl with chubby cheeks, green eyes, black hair, and had somewhat soft features. When she claimed she moved back (also is weird, because it took MONTHS to move to France and then took like a week to move back), the girl in her pictures was tan (almost orange in some pictures), cheeks were no longer chubby, and the features seemed similar to Megan Fox. Green eyes were still there, hair was brown, but she could of dyed it.

One friend (the sweeter one who dislikes thinking that she's fake) said that maybe the fake profile is self conscious and that's why she might be using fake ones, but when when I asked the fake profile about it, she said it's her. Anyways, my theory on this is that MAYBE there was a real girl who was our friend, but the fake profile hacked her and got all the information from the messages to learn about us.

By the way, when I asked her why she looked different, she said that her eyes were getting closer to each other and her nose was getting really big so she got surgery in France and she "overdosed" on tanning. In some pictures she does look pale, but in MOST of them she looks tan. I understand if she tans, but the face is completely different. Also, one day I remember she put a picture of herself on YouTube, it showed a pale blonde girl, maybe around the ages of 10-13. When the fake profile posted a picture of herself when she was 14, the girl was tan and looked similar to the newer pictures.

I will try to make this as short as possible and just list things that I feel are a bit weird about me:

- I see something sharp, the first thing that comes to my head is, "Stab/cut yourself with it. No one will care"

- I see/hear a car or train coming and I think, "Jump in front of it! No one will notice or care if you die"

- I have voices in my head telling me to harm myself, example: bang your head against the wall

- If I know someone is mad at me and I'm near them, I will imagine them hitting me/physically hurting me and avoid them for a long time

- I look in the mirror and think, "You're a fat piece of garbage" even though I'm 5'0 and around 120 pounds (I'm 13 by the way) and have a pretty flat stomach

- If I find out I failed something, I don't try to fix it, I just think, "What's the point? I'm too stupid to fix it anyways" even though I know that I have straight A's

- I see faces of things that aren't even there, but I know that it's just my imagination

- I talk to myself and pretend that there's someone there actually listening and caring about what I say, once I had an hour long conversation with myself...

- I HATE talking to people, but I'm pretty sure that's because I have a lisp and I feel like they will make fun of me, I rather just text them or message them

- I don't eat much on purpose, my mom gives me a lot of food, but I go to my room and throw most of it away and only eat a bit and have mini workout sessions without my parents knowing (if they knew, they would think I was trying to impress someone at school when in reality, I just want to feel good about myself)

I'm 13, in 7th grade, have pretty good grades, have really good friends, and my life with my family is "eh"

I hope the last part helped a bit.

I have a little hair on my legs. Not enough to wax, and I'm pretty sure if I tried shaving, I would end up cutting my legs. If I used Veet, would it get rid of it? Does it work?

When I'm fighting (verbally, I stay away from physical fights) with someone and yelling, I find myself fighting back tears. I rarely cry, does that have something to do with it?

All my friends hate my role model, Demi Lovato. I don't see why they hate her, I understand if they don't like her, but they don't have to be talking mean things about her. She saved my life. She inspired me to be the best I can be, to stay strong, and happy. None of my friends know about my issues (I don't want to seem like I want attention and I'm afraid that of I tell them, someone might overhear me telling them, and find out). I loved Demi since 2008, but when she talked about her issues, she instantly became my role model. I always knew she had something that made her inspiring. Anyways, all of my friends hate her and find her annoying. I try not to say anything, but it makes me so mad when they talk bad about her because without her, I'd probably be dead. What should I do about my friends hating the person who saved my life and many other lives?

My bacne is a little weird, it's only on one area of my back, the top right side (near my shoulder and the back of my neck). Thankfully, it's only on one area, but I hate it because I'm too embarrassed to wear tank tops and go to the beach/pool with my bacne. There are always at LEAST 15-30 red spots on that area. I use Neutrogena body scrub, I believe it's orange and has these little red-ish spots in it for extra cleaning. It helped a lot, but the bacne on that side won't go away! I wear loose-ish shirts and don't sweat a lot. I drink a LOT of water and have mild face acne (I don't break out as much as I did last year, I only really break out when i'm stressed out or my period is coming).

Back to my bacne, what can I do to get rid of it? My hair is barely reaching my shoulders, so it can't be my hair causing all the bacne.

I've been wanting to be an actress since I was 7, i'm 13 now. My parents think it's just stupid and they want me to get a "real job". I've been planning to go to a drama college/university after I graduate. The thing is...I'm really shy, but I am pretty comfortable around cameras (when I'm bored, I'll record myself talking about various things and just being me. i'm not really sure how the "shy around people, comfortable near cameras" thing works though). I live 40-60 minutes away from Hollywood and Los Angeles, but before you say "You need to audition for small things, like school plays." I will say that the teacher that was in charge of all of that died last year (of a heart attack). My mom is over protected and won't let me go to the teen center to see if there is anything I can audition for (small plays and such). I'm not sure if the high school will have plays by the time I get there (i'm in 7th grade, and our school district is poor). I do know there is an acting camp nearby (about an hour away), but my mom would NEVER let me stay there for the summer, she won't even let me stay at her own sister's house! What should I do? Is 18-22 too late to try starting an acting career? Should I just give up and try to become something else (I do have good grades, so it shouldn't be that hard, but I really do want to act when I get older)?

I'm a VERY heavy sleeper, so I have my phone under my pillow. That way, my alarm can wake me up. I ONLY have it under my pillow on school nights, so it can wake me up for school the next morning.

I can't put it on my nightstand because my nightstand is a foot away from my bed (we can't move it closer because it's at an area with a weird angle and it can't get closer to my bed) and it won't wake me up for school. Another reason why I can't is because my older siblings would go through my phone in my sleep (I need my privacy, i'm a teenage girl) if I left it there.

Back to my question, can you get brain cancer from sleeping near an iPhone?

I've been sleeping with a phone near my head since last year (I got a new phone, so that last phone wasn't an iPhone) and only when I go to school. I've been planning on sleeping that way till I graduate (I'm in 7th grade), but now that I heard that you could get brain cancer from sleeping near a phone, I rather just be late to school every morning!

I have a 4 year old Pomeranian, she's a girl. I'm pretty sure she's pure breed, but I'm not sure, my uncle gave us to her and claimed she was.

Anyways, right now we got another dog (boy) and now we have 3 (2 boys, and the girl). I can't pet my other 2 dogs when she's around, or else she gets mad and chases them and starts to growl at them. If I pet her, she will also start to growl. She barely started doing the "Pet me and I will growl at you!" thing today! She doesn't do this to my brother. I tried petting the other dogs (when she wasn't paying attention), and they don't do it.

As I said before, whenever my brother pets her, she doesn't growl, but when I do, she does. My other dogs don't growl whenever I pet them. What do I do? This makes me scared of trying to pet her, let alone play with her.
