Answers:
Get to the doctor. It won't burst for hours, but you want to be in a hospital when befpre it does. Go to a doctor now. It might be something else, but it's better to be safe .. :)

Those are classic signs of it. You need to get checked out right away.

Teens are among high risk population for getting their appendix inflamed. Viral infections also contribute but there is no known cause for sure.
If you have nausea, low grade fever, it hurts when you press and release (hurts more when you release) on your abdomen, and have the sensation you need to go evacuate (feces) but nothing comes out, it can be appendicitis. Or a number of other things which are serious, too. Yes, appendicitis can be life threatening if the appendix ruptures and all the feces there get to your internal organs, so go to the ER, now!

i don't no. do you no? i sure don't.

You need to get to a doctor ASAP and let him check you out. If it is appendicitis, you need antibiotics right away. Don't fool around, it can kill you if it isn't treated.

Brother, lemme tell you the same thing happened to me and it turned out to be appendicities. Dont waste time and consult a doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Go now I would say! Dont waste a minute cuz if it is appendix then u might even die if the appendix explodes and ten might cause severe poisoning in the intestine. So go now! I suffered from the same problem and my appendix had burst, but I was saved by the grace of God. Gud luck Brother

yup, sounds like it. get to the hospital now! mine actually burst while i was on my way to the emergency room, i could have died if i'd waited any longer. does it hurt to raise your right leg at the knee? i know this sounds weird, but trying to put on underwear was really difficult when my appendix was about to go, so try raising your right knee up to your stomach, if the pain is unbearable, get to the doctor.

You should for sure go to the ER. even if it's not appedicitis, it could be something else. Also do not press on any part of your abdomen- this could cause perforation if it is appendicitis, which is dangerous.
