Why is puberty so hard to deal with?
Because you are going through a lot of changes and are making a major transition in life, from childhood to adolescence (being a teenager). Your body is growing and changing, and the way people treat you, and their expectations of you are also changing. Meanwhile, very potent chemicals called hormones are coursing through your bloodstream. These can affect your mood, make you feel jumpy, irritable, etc.
Two important things to remember: 1) it will pass, and things will get better; and
2) every teenager and adult alive today has gone through puberty and survived. You will too. Best of luck.
How long does it take you to die with air in your blood?
Yes, it induces a heart attack, that's why doctors, nurses and such, flick the needle to remove the air bubble.
----------- Answer -----------
Putting air in your vein will form bubbles like putting air in water. However, bubbles in your vein have no where to go but toward your heart/lungs.

These bubbles can cause obstructions at some of the small arteries causing heart attacks, strokes, or other ischemic injuries to other organs.

How did bp stop the oil spill?
The oil spill is the result of a well blowout and unfortunately, we still do not have all the answers as to why the well blew out. It was a known "gassy" reservoir of oil, so it could be explained, as some suggest, by a large bubble of methane gas rushing out of the drill pipe, igniting and exploding. The explosion in April 2010 killed 11 people working on the rig.
Because of the fire or the explosion, a wellhead was damaged, the drilling rig collapsed breaking the piping that connected the drill to the well approximately 5000 ft below sea level, which allowed oil to begin to flow directly into the ocean. The fail safes that are supposed to protect the environment and people in this type of situation failed, or were inadequate under the deep well conditions.
Halliburton had finished cementing in a production casing and abnormal pressures were detected in the marine riser. But until more information is revealed, the cause is still speculative. Many more details should be available after a full inquiry is made.

The only problem is there's so much pollution these days, even in Antarctica there are obvious effects of slobbish, inconsiderate, slovenly human behavior. (I, too, am guilty of it ). :(

How are the animals in the ocean getting hurt?
Trash and chemical dumping are two major culprits... BOTH human-caused.
ALOT of animals are endangered in the ocean.
Here are some of them: the Hawaiian monk seals, hawksbill turtles, steller sea lions, hammerhead sharks (along with ALOT of other shark species), the gulf of California harbor porpoise and the blue whale.
It is terrible that all of these wonderful animals have the risk of becoming extinct.
To see about how you could help bring back the wild (for kids) please go to the "Earth Rangers" website.
If you are an adult just go to the rainforest site. These are just some of the ways to help our environment and the animals in it.
I hope this answers your question
