Answer 1

Some context would help a lot, but here are the ones I can help with:

5. Esto se esta pasando de la raya- This is crossing the line

6. Te pones asi de mal- When you get bad like this (this person was probably upset about something, without context I'm guessing)

7. Lo echas a perder- You're going to miss out (I think, verify this one)

8. Es que me pasa todo- It's just that everything happens to me

10. Ya me embarque- I already boarded

13. Órale ahí va eso - OK, there it goes. (Orale can mean several things, with no context it's another guess)

15. Ahora toca a mi- Now it's my turn

18. Ponte atento para que aprendas - Pay attention so you can learn

19. Todititos- A diminutive, it just means everybody.

Answer 2

24. No te juntes con esta chusma

This one caught my attention. It's meaning changes depending on what country you're in.

It seems that in Mexico chusma means something like riff-raf and in Argentina it means a person who gossips - chismoso.

So it would translate to something like "Don't hang around that riff-raf" (Mexico) or Don't hang out with that gossiper (Argentina).
