Hello i'm jade i am accidentally exposed in x-rays what would be effect to me?

Not much: xrays are ionizing radiation, which can add up over time and cause damage to your tissues or even cancers. X-ray machines don't usually cause too much exposure if used correctly. You likely won't notice anything at all, unless you had massive repeated inappropriate doses.
