So, I kind of messed up and procrastinated on doing my bio homework. But now I need to answer some questions about a primary source and I can t tell if this is one or not. Please help. It s too late to ask my professor.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC41393...

My right nipple and areola have been dry, itchy, and flaky for over a year now. It's never really bothered me but I feel like it's getting worse recently. I put lotion on it and it helps temporarily but I find I'm always wanting to scratch.

Whenever I google this, all that comes up is Pagets disease of the nipple, however I'm only 17 and I've heard the chances of getting breast cancer at my age is basically 1 in a million and then Paget's disease is even a rare form of breast cancer... so I know the chances of me having it are super slim, but I can't seem to find anything else online with the same symptoms.

I do have a fungal infection in my scalp and toenails that I am on a medication for right now, and my scalp is also very itchy and flaky. So is there a chance this is the same thing? I've never had eczema or anything before and like I said, it's only on one breast and has been going on for a very long time already.

Should I be worried?

If not, what else could it be and what can I do to make it go away as it is almost becoming unbearable!?

My friends and I are graduating really soon and the four of us want to get together and have some drinks. We want to getter pretty drunk, but I'm nervous about alcohol poisoning.

How much alcohol could we drink while being safe? We're all 18 years old and fairly new to drinking.

A month or two ago we were together and drank quite a bit (probably around 4 beers and 6 shots each) and we were basically fine. We were pretty drunk but didn't feel incapacitated. No hangovers the next day or anything.

But that seems like a lot of alcohol to me, and now my friends want to try to drink more.

I tend to worry about silly things so am I just being paranoid? Is it not as bad as I think it is? Or am I right to be a worried?

I just came out as genderfluid to an extremely close friend over text. It says that they saw the message over half an hour ago, but they didn't reply.

It's making me really nervous. I know her really well and I don't think me coming out as genderfluid would change the way she sees me too much (especially since we've talked about me questioning my gender before). I just don't know what to do!!

Why do you think she's not replying to the message?

I'm getting really anxious about it.

I had an idea for a book I want to write but it sounds a lot like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. It would take place in a fantasy world. The main character is a boy who's fascinated by death and likes watching executions and writing about them. He's is forced to become part of this secretive program for children who are 'strange' (and strange being anything from magical powers to wired obsessions). In this program, the children are sent on dangerous missions to gather information, spy, perform certain tasks, etc. for the sake of their country.

I know the idea of the group of unorthodox children has been done in MPHFPC but I think the plot would be quite different though (I have only read the first peculiar children book thought so I'm not sure about the other books)

Does it sound too similar or like I'm just ripping off the Peculiar Children? I mean, I'll probably write it either way since it's mostly for myself, I was just curious.

I was out yesterday and apparently my dad was on the family macbook pro that we bought a few years back and some pop up came up. He and my little brother found out it was a scam so they called Apple to find out what to do about it. I'm not sure what they actually did about the scam but the Apple guy told they needed to get the laptop updated, so he did it for them over the internet.

Now, everything looks really different. The desktop background is no longer the blue galaxy one. It's some mountain/cliff picture. Also a lot of the icons look very different. In finder there's "tags" included red tag, orange tag, yellow tag, etc. Safari seems to be set up a little differently. For example, all the websites saved up at the top (favourites) are no longer there.

I'm not upset about the change. The macbook does seem to be running a lot smoother and quicker. I'm just curious about this update and what else it encompasses. I don't know what to look up to get information on it, so anything you could tell me about it would be appreciated.

I'm not a tap dancer, but I'm in my school's musical theatre programme and we're doing a production of Mary Poppins in March. I'm in the Step in Time number, which is tap and there isn't enough tap shoes/the right sizes of tap shoes for the entire ensemble. Originally we were going to glue pennies to the bottom of shoes, but then someone found a place online were we could order fairly cheep tap shoes ($25). They're going to order the shoes for anyone who wants them, but I would need to be sure wether or not to buy them by tomorrow. Is it worth it? I'll probably only ever use them for rehearsals and production week… but I really want to do our tap number in actual tap shoes. I can't decide if it's worth spending the $25 plus shipping if I'm not even a tap dancer. Would it be better to make tap shoes with the pennies?

A lot of the time I feel like I may have a mental health issue and Id like to see a therapist or someone so I could know for sure, but Im worried I'll come off as attention seeking and I dont know myself weather that's true or not.

I have meltdowns and get very upset and can't function sometimes and I have, and still do believe theres nothing in life worth living for. Occasionally Ive had suicidal thoughts, but I'll always be to scared to act on it. Im terrified to talk to people like teachers or ordering food. As often as possible I'll get someone else to do it for me, but when I have to Im usually be on the verge of tears. Everyone tells me Im to hard on myself, but Im not happy with who I am (though I dont know why, because Im a decent and talented person and I have a great quality of life). I feel fake. Like I can't be true to myself and Im very self conscious. School's hard, not because of the classes, but when my day's not going well I'll feel on edge and claustrophobic, as if I wasn't safe there.

But other times, Im fine and Im happy and enjoy myself. The only real difficulties I face is that Im overweight because of health problems Ive spent the last 5 years trying to figure out and still nothings diagnosed. Also, sometimes I ponder the idea of being male (I'm a 15yo girl) but that's another story. Im involved with many things and push myself very hard. Ive accomplished alot so Idk.

Is this something all teens go through?

Am I attention seeking?Should I ask for help?

I recently read the book (In french, so a lot of details slipped past me) and I really enjoyed it, so I watched the 2004 movie with a friend and we laughed at how after the song 'Masquerade' when Erik (I guess he's just the Opera Ghost in the movie) walks down the stairs, Raoul runs off. Since then I've watched the scene a couple times and I just can't figure out why. When he comes back a few seconds later he's doing up his belt so did he just go to the bathroom or…? Did he run away because he got scared? Because that's what it looked like. Is there a reason behind it? It looks sort of ridiculous and I don't remember there being anything in the book about it (that being said the book is very different from the movie).

How much can someone vomit at once? I understand it varies a lot, but on average how many mL/L could someone bring up in a couple minutes/one trip to the toilet? I know this is a strange question but I'm trying to write a story… lol. What was the most you've ever vomited at once?

We just finished reading Night in English and our final project is to write a found poem (with words from the memoir) about the Holocaust.

I have a long list of words to use and a couple vague ideas but other than that I have no idea where to start. I don't know how to go about finding a rhythm to use or whether I should do free verse. I don't know what to say in my poem. I don't know where to start!!! How am I supposed to write this poem?

It's only the second day of school, and I'm already losing it at my French Language Arts class (gr11)

Our teacher has a reputation of being mean and, I'm not saying she's the nicest lady ever or my favourite teacher, but I don't think she's as bad as people make her out to be. All they do is complain about her and that ruins my day entirely. I don't want to go to class, ready to enjoy the class, and then have the mood ruined by hearing them complain the entire 80 minutes, and then go home to see they've made Facebook posts about her.

They can drop out of French Immersion. It's not mandatory. Some have and I'm glad for that. I like the FLA course and I hate how they've basically ruined the school year with their complaining. It irks me so much! They did it last year too and will probably again in gr12

I wish they could be more mature. Suck it up and deal with the fact that you aren't fond of the teacher. I do! They get pissed at me, because she's nicer to me, but that's because I respect her and I've learnt that if you just do what she asks and put effort into your work, she doesn't complain about you. She's not the nicest person but in the sense of teaching, she does fantastic!

I want to tell my class that. I could just yell in their faces to grow the **** up. Just respect her. That's all they need. Then, she wouldn't be that bad to them. But you can't expect me to do that to a class of 30+ immature highschoolers and not get the life bullied out of me.

What do I do?

I'm going into grade 11 this year and I'd really like to start dating. A lot of the girls in my school have boyfriends and I'm jealous of them to be honest. I'm not saying that I need a boyfriend but it's an experience that I think I'm ready for.

The only problem is that I don't know how to put myself out there. I don't need to be told to just be open and talk to them, I know that, I just don't know how. I'm not popular and I don't know many guys I can talk to. I don't get invited to parties and I don't know where to meet boys. Some of my friends meet people over the internet but I have no idea how they do that. I tend to be really shy and I just don't know how to talk to people. I understand "be yourself" but I struggle with it.

How do you put yourself out there?

Where can I meet boys?

How do you talk openly with people you don't know as well?

I've always been the type that felt I needed to get the most out of EVERY moment. I don't like resting or anything like that. I have to be getting something done. This summer though, I feel like its getting worse and its stopping me from enjoying my time

I don't know why I feel like I'm wasting time. Theres nothing 'wrong' with my life. I have a really good successful life. I live in a good home. I have 3 brothers and we constantly amaze people about how close we are with one another (even though one of them lives on the other side of Canada). I've been a straight A student my whole life. I've written 4 novels. I was a competitive swimmer for 7/8 years and I'm thinking of volunteer coaching for the club this fall. I participated in my high school's drama program. I have a part time job. I should be proud of myself but I'm not

This summer has been bothering me a lot. Its probably bc by this time the last two years I had already gone to Germany to visit family and was on a canoe trip. I haven't done any of that this year. I stayed home all summer. I took a grade 11 course and passed w/ 91percent, my brother's home visiting, and I had VIP tickets to a 1D concert. Its not like I'm not doing anything

It bothers me that I'm going into gr11 and I'll be done school soon. Lot of people from school go to parties and do crazy teenage stuff, but I don't. I'm the good girl but I want to have fun. I want to go on crazy adventures. I'm scared of growing up and wasting time! What do I do?

I want to make a book cover for something I am writing (just for fun not for commercial use or anything)

The book is a dystopian book set in a future North American country a couple decades after a plague killed off a lot of the population. It's about a pair of twin brothers who star in a TV show and are huge celebrities in their world. One of them starts having health problems and is forbidden treatment and told to keep it a secret (from everyone, including his brother) for the sake of the show and their reputation for being perfect.

I want to find symbols and images for the cover, but I'm not sure what. I would like something like a list of things that could symbolize;

Brotherhood

Illness

Feeling trapped

Fame

Etc.

I'm 15 years old and born female.

I've considered myself to be a girl for most of my life except now that I think of growing up, I sometimes think that I would rather be a man when I grow up, instead of a woman but I don't know why.

I've never been a 'tom boy' but I'm not a 'girly girl' either. I've always felt somewhere between the two. I have long hair. I rarely paint my nails or wear make up. I'm not fond of shopping or baking. I'm not sporty or into stereotypical boy stuff either like cars and mechanics. I've always been more nerdy (Harry Potter, LOTR, etc) and artsy.

As a girl, I am straight

I'm not bothered by the fact that I have female body parts and the idea of having a man's body doesn't interest me that much, but I doubt I'd be bothered if I woke up with male body parts one day.

I've never been in a "relationship" (haven't even been on a date. Ha) but I see myself with a guy that is on the feminine side and I think I'd be happier being the 'man' in the relationship. If I had a boyfriend, I'd want to hold the door open for him, I'd rather have him be the one in the kitchen, etc basically the complete opposite of stereotypical gender roles.

People call me 'she''her' and I'm comfortable with it but I would be comfortable with 'he''him' too.

I write a lot and I've always enjoyed writing from a male POV over a female one. I play D&D with my brothers as well and I prefer playing male characters. Both are more fun to me even if they end up being fairly feminine.

Just curious, for a story I want to write, what would happen if you left a peptic ulcer untreated?

When would you first notice symptoms?

How bad would they be? (For example, I know a symptom is nausea and vomiting, so how often would you vomit a day?)

How bad would the symptoms get and over how much time?

Would more ulcers form?

Would the ulcer start bleeding? If so, after how much time? How quickly would you lose blood?

Would it lead to other illnesses? If so, what?

Would the ulcer eventually perforate the stomach?

How long could you survive?

etc.

(Basically anything you know about ulcers would probably be helpful as well)

Thank you.
