Could you tell me how to properly say these sentences please?

Could you please tell me how to properly say this sentence? I wrote in bold what I think of some.

1 I will tell him what I did before I am/will be blackmailed by you.

2 She's going to be mean to me when we are older. I think OK

3 Some people don't look a whole different with a beard than without but I look radically
different with one and not in a good way.

4 We would gout out all ten of us and every time, there was money missing on the tab, as if one person hadn't paid all the owed. The second I stopped being friends with X, the was no longer money missing the tab.

5 In no job will you work so little for so much. OK

6 What's the most money you've ever lent someone. OK

7 I live on the edge/border of the X district and Y district in Paris.

8 The food was good, but compared to the food there, it wasn't great. OK

9 Which friend do most of your friends hate most? (does this make sense?)

10 How did they get here after us and leave before us?

11 We are used to seeing young adults play/playing 16 year old teenagers in movies that
it no longer shocks us to see them.

12 The death of their friend brought the 3 friends closer again. OK to me

13 Other than kill/killing her, I don't know what else their secret can be.

14 Instead of going out less and less, oddly we go out more and more now that we have
a child.

15 She would do that to me before I did/would do that to her.

Thank you so much
