Me and my boyfriend had sex two days ago (April 2) my period started today. How likely would it be that I get pregnant? I thought sperm could live 4-5 days outside the body? Help please.

Okay I am about 5'4 and 133 pounds but I can see my lower 2 ribs on either side. As I am aware this is an average weight but it seems odd to me to be seeing ribs. Is this okay? Possible explanations?

Since I was in the fourth grade I would say I was a bit morbid. I wrote about dark things like death and dieing. It's slowly escalated to very violent stories and writing and a bit more depressive writing. Recently (last 3 years) I've had 3 family members die. My parents have fought infront of me (verbally) and spoke of divorce. I've become more sad lately and had stopped eating for a few days. I feel almost scared I would say to talk to people I know. I've never told my family how I feel or how I've truly gotten some of my scars. I feel weak telling people what happened and horrified of what they will say. I would just like advice I suppose or maybe why it's happening.

So I am dating this guy. He talks to me like I'm his everything and tells me he loves me everyday. I don't want to be shallow or anything but physically I'm not attracted to him. Emotionally he's the best person ever. I don't quite know what to do. I'm happy talking or texting him but meeting face to face I almost feel like I'm avoiding any eye contact. Help please!?

I had previously (in the 7th grade) created an alternate ending to the novel "Lord of the Flies". The ending I had created was quite gruesome to say the least. At one point the main character,Piggy, had dug a hole in the beach and began to live in it. Later he proceeded to canabalize one of the other people living on the beach with him inside of the hole. After completion of the ending I was asked to read it to my class, as everyone else had, and I began to laugh uncontrollably. I had passed it to two others after that to read and each began to laugh aswell. No one knew why. The entire story was violent, but I have written many like it. I am ,generally speaking, a graphic writer. My friend had nonchalantly stated that everyone in my stories dies because of an inner feeling of distrust in attachment and that everyone was abandoning me and that I could no longer trust anyone to stay. This was not expected because at the time we were both 13 I believe. This is entirely real and I am not attempting to troll anyone. I want legitimate advice or input into this. Anything helps. Thank you in advance.

I've been depressed and had suicidal thoughts for a while now. I want to tell one of my closest friends but putting on a smile is soooo much easier. What do I say? How do I say it? When do I say it? How do I know if she'll take me seriously? Can I just email some therapist and talk to them instead? No one knows and I feel like I'll blow my cap if I don't get someone to tell.

My mom keeps leaning toward getting a Burmese python or other large snake. I tried to tell her they get large need a large cage and large food. She was like yeah we could remodel the coffee table and feed it rats. I don't know what to do. We already have a corn snake and two ball pythons. I don't know how to detur her away from a 15+foot long snake?!? Any help?

Would cory catfish, neon tetras, and skirt tetras live together in the wild?

My tank is stocked as follows:

2 honey Gouramis

5 buenos aires tetras

6 long finned skirt tetras

4 corydoras

I planned to trade my honeys, and buenos aires tetras to get some neons and plants.

My plants are as follows:

3 bamboo plants

1 red waterlily

5 anubias

2 water onion

I have 2 reptiles uv bulbs from a previous project. I was wondering if hydroponics bulbs would work?

What plants/ fish could I get to fit a specific South American biotope?

I have a 90 gallon tank and have recently come across biotopes. I have the understanding that cories, black finned tetras, and neons are South American. Any help or advice would be great! Thanks in advance!!

One by one my fish are dieing. Tank stocked as follows initially and currently:

6 buenos aires tetras- 4 now

2 honey Gouramis- still 2

1 peppered cory catfish- still 1

1 albino cory catfish- still 1

1 green cory catfish- still 1

1 Raphael or striped catfish - 0

I used to have a 40 gallon submersible , but recently acquired a brand new 75 gallon. I have a 150 or a 200 watt heater so the tank is about 74 degrees.

One fish will be singled out , by his own doing, then after a day or so of sadly half swimming and eating the fish will die after loosing color and kind of graying. The fish will eat and swim but by himself then swim sideways a bit. I want to know if it's a parasite problem or some disease. PLEASE HELP!!! I want to know if or how I can fix it. Salt bath or a store treatment?

I have an empty 90 gallon tank (4'x15"x15") that has a screen vent in the middle. I was wanting a lizard, but preferably it wouldn't need UV light. I already have three snakes so please don't recommend snakes. I also have two firebelly toads (frogs) in a 20 gallon. A lizard or large frog/toad would be terrific. Just some simple care info and brief description would be good too. Sometimes you can't trust the information here so I always do independent research. Thanks ahead of time!!( no iguanas, water dragons either even if some people think that's enough space it's not)

Two different options for a 90gallon with drift wood and rounded (brown) pebbles:

1- pictus catfish

10- neon tetras

6- buenos aires tetras

6-long finned skirt tetras

Need a centerpiece fish

Or

10- tiger barbs

1- pictus catfish

16- neon tetras

2- dwarf Gouramis

12- white finned rosy tetras

Are either/both of these setups compatable with the fish mentioned? Water perameters? Temperatures (Fahrenheit please)? For plants I was going to get a bunch of corkscrew vallisniria and java fern. I already have driftwood and a filter. A heater is coming. Any tips or tricks for a beginner aquariumist? Please help!

I have an approximately 90 gallon tank. It is glass and holds water. I wanted a few bala sharks. I love their speed and colors. My mom wants a few (two) oscars. Eels are on my high list too but I know they are saltwater. I also like the idea of a community tank with plants. Gouramis tetras the whole 9 nine yards with plants and everything. I want a group of fish whether it's one type or a multitude of different fish that can live in the tank without an upgrade when they assume their adult sizes. Freshwater only! All fish must be under 20 dollars each as a baby. I wanted to purchase young to watch them grow I just love seeing the transformation. Thanks ahead of time. I just have a hard time seeing options. Anything helps.

I found it out behind a horse ranch and went around telling kids it was a baby horse skull. I actually want a legitimate answer now though. Maybe some reasoning too.

My mom is always very rude to my dad and me occasionally. My dad had been deployed for over 20 years then was taken out for medical reasons. He has 80% disability so he cannot work for extended periods or his back get extremely sore. He gets frequent migranes as well. She often yells at him for being lazy, or not doing anything. A Speacil k commercial came on and she said I should get it. I just want to know if there is a way for me to confront her, or help in some way. This is one a daily or by daily basis.

My cichlids aren't eating their cichlid pellets that float. They instead eat tetra min plus tropical flakes. The cichlid pellets are small size omega one brand. I have two jewel cichlids a frontasia and a random cichlid I forgot the name of and two synodontis catfish. The catfish eat what ever but the cichlids only eat the flakes. Any advice would help don't want my babies to die!

(They aren't baby fish though. The jewels are 3-4 inch frontasia 2-3 inch random one 4-5 inch catfish 5-7 inch got alm the fish at about the size they are now)

Ok so my friend has the cute boyfriend. I told her I like him, and she understood. Then she said that I was hitting on him and to stop. The way she said it though she said jasmine and miguel( her boyfriend) also felt uncomfortable. So I told her I would stop and I did. I didn't even think I was hitting on him so now I don't talk about, or to him. Now I was talking to her about this random fact I read and she got angry again. I really don't get what to do. She didn't seem angry then she exploded. What do I do? She seemed calm and laughed then was like your pis*ing me off. I really don't get it.

Ok so my mom has been talking about getting a rabbit for a long time, she loves the color red, but works with Speacil ed children so cannot wear jewelry. For the rabbit I have a neighbor with lionhead rabbits so could get one from her, but don't have much money to buy a cage. The rabbit would have to be kept inside, in a room with a hedgehog. She is into Wicca and has incense and that kind of stuff. I thought about getting something neat from an antique store but my budget is 30 or less dollars.

( I could build a rabbit cage though because I have a shed full of wood)
