I made a playlist on iTunes and got a CD-R to burn it on to because I knew CD-RW doesn t work in some CD players. I burned the CD and no errors came up. But when I went to play it, it didn t work, just said "surface" on the screen. Does this mean the CD has too many scratches to read? As it was an old one I found. Or is it to do with the burning? I read somewhere that some CD burners burn data unless you tell it to burn audio? I m not very good with technology!! Please help

My Mum has developed on horrible retching cough which has followed a bad cold, does anyone know of any good home remedies that we could try to sooth her throat and calm her chest. It's really painful and stops her sleeping, it's also nasty to listen to. She has high blood pressure so can't take most over the counter cold remedies and although she doesn't have asthma she does use blue and brown inhalers to help with her breathing. Any ideas would be great. thank you!

I'm not dating someone that old, my friend and I are having a bet and I could only find American websites rather than ones for the UK. I don't need to know about it morally being wrong, I know it is, but legally what's the situation?

Am I am planning a small dinner party to celebrate my 16th birthday with only my closest friends. I was friends with a girl (let's call her Jess) but our friendship completely broke down when my best friend dumped her. She had been crazy jealous of my friendship with him and accused us for sneaking around, secretly dating and only being super close to annoy her. She said some nasty things and even tried to break up my relationship, which is where I drew the line. It was a ridiculous situation and even though I wasn't at fault I fixed the friendship as best as I could so there would be no more drama.

This summer she has put pressure on me to have a big birthday party when that's really not what I want. I said I wasn't going to do anything besides see my family and a play with my best friend. So I lied to her but invited her to come shopping with me instead.

Is it ok to do this?

My ex and I broke up about a month ago and its left me heartbroken I loved him sooooo much and I still do, he's started seeing someone else and while I want him to be happy I also want to tell him how much he means to me and how much seeing him with someone else hurts. Should I wait until he's finished with this new gf they r already finding it tough and then tell him how I feel or should I just say now? I've been trying to do the love him let him go thing but I honestly can't I'm normally over a relationship in 1-2 weeks depending on how long we were together. I really miss him! Please help xxx

My ex said he'd love to be friends and he'd always be around to pick me up with I'm low (I suffer from depresstion and have some pretty bad days) but the thing is I don't want to seem needy and he seems to share our convos with his friends ;/ I really wanna be friends with him he's such a nice guy but I don't want him to think I wanna get back together coz even thou I still like him A LOT he has a gf and I respect that. What should I do?

I wasn't sure if I should put this under singles and dating or friends but here we go!

See the thing is I really like my ex and I know I shouldn't coz he's moved on with a new gf and I'm happy for him but I feel very alone with everything going on in my life and he was always the one I went to for advice and a hug even as friends. I miss having him around lots. My parents have always gone on at me about not smoking and how bad it was for you but the other day I was playing with my dog when I was home alone and I throw the ball too high, it landed on top of one of the cupboards. I got up on a chair to look and found a pack of cigerets! I couldn't help crying straight away I was really shocked and angry! I rang my ex in some kinda fit of shock and told him what happened he calmed me down but was going to work so he told me to call him about an hour later. I did and we talked he poked fun at my eating habits and we both laughed but when we got down to talking about the fags I found I broke down again, he told me they might be old and might not even belong to my parents. He was soooo kind and make me laugh for the first time in a long time. As I said I really like him and although I'm trying to forget them and move on I'm finding it hard and being friends I think is helping but I don't know what I can and can't tell him where I stand in our relationship (I mean friendship kinda relationship)? Do you think I should still talk to him and should I say anything about the fags I found to my parents?

Me and my friend have been getting closer and closer since we met 3 years ago when I moved schools. He's really nice and never fails to make me laugh but I've noticed he's been asking questions like do I trust him and also telling me to stay away from an ex I'm trying to be friends with...he's started getting a bit protective too. I don't know what's brought this on but I don't know whether I like it...he's one of few friends I have I feel I can properly trust the last thing I would want is to have any kind of relationship that could destroy our friendship... :/

Do you think he likes me?

And how can I drop hints and don't want a bf?

Oh I forgot to say he invited me over this week too but I was busy that day.

I'm 14 and for nearly two months have been sick. It's not much just sort of watery but mixed in with blinding headaches and tummy pains I've been starting to worry. I went to see my doctor on Monday and was told to have blood tests done...I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what could be wrong with me?

I've been fighting my feelings for him for a month now and they are just not going away! He has moved on with a new gf and I'm still on my own...I have had a guy tell me he really likes me but I said I didn't want a relationship...I really want him back but things are difficault ovs because of the new gf and also the fact I fell out with his best mate...Is there anyway I can kinda charm him like I did before?

My ex bf and I have been through a lot together he went through hell to keep us together but then it got too much with exams and everything so he gave up. We didn't talk for a while but now we talk pretty much all the time and are becoming pretty close. I have no problem being friends but I don't wanna be close to him again in case something happens or we fall out and he knows even more about me than he does already. He is seeing another girl and I'm really happy for him even though I know she is NOT right for him but another problem is he still calls me Missy and hun sometimes so I started calling him Mr (nick names we had when we were together) why would he start calling me that again? Do you guys know or think you know what he might be thinking? Or if your a girl where do I stand and what do I do?

I really want to talk to new people online but I don't know how! If your between the age of 14-16 email me lilyskye@rocketmail.com because I love chatting to new people but I'm having trouble finding them seeing as with in my school everyone knows everyone.

I recently found out my ex has started smoking again we were going great as friend and  I'm worried about him I asked him last night if it was true and he said he smoked at his friends party he then asked why I cared I said I cared because Im his friend and I thought he was mine....when he asked why I cared he also said what he did didn't effect me but ir does coz while we're not together I still care about him and I'm trying to be a gd mate what do u think I should do next?

My ex boyfriend and I are trying it as friends (and its not easy for either of us) he offered to help me out with school work when I got a bit stressy. Because he's in year 11 (I'm year 9) he has done most of the work I'm doing now and can help me easily, but I'm not sure if by taking him up on his offer I'll seem like I still need him. In a way I guess I do because he's one of the few people I feel I can trust (even though he broke my lil heart..aww). We talk quite a lot and get into fairly deep convos on friday I knew my ex was at a party I got a text the next afternoon from a number I didn't know it said "Hey! I fucked your ex last night fancy a threesom??" Now I'm 14 and was totally grossed out by this! I texted him in a moment of disbelief he said the text was rubbish and that he didn't know who it was from it turned out to be one of his "mates" who he doesn't actually like who had kicked my number from his phone. After this he's been really nice and put in a good word for me in the school play so I got in. We also spent a good 20 minutes on the phone when he couldn't explain what I had to write for my essay very well in writing so I called him we ended up talking about our day ect... There's a part of me that really wants to talk and ask for help and give it where I can but I don't want him to think I'm depending on him because that might push him away as a friend or any other relationship possibilities in the far future (and I am not holding on to that one).

Please tell me what you think! xxx

My ex and I are friends and we want to do things together every now and again the only thing is I don't want to suggest anything that will make him think its like a date because neither of us would be comfortable with that. He's helping me with some school work because I'm struggling with it but I don't want him to think I'm asking coz i want to make a move on him...I don't!

So two questions:

1) what things can we do together?

2) Is it ok to ask him for help and if so should we arrange to see each or do it down the phone??

pls help!!

I see my ex everyday at school and I want him to know I'm ok with out having to speak to him because its really awkward. The reason for awkwardness is becuase I'm trying really hard to change the feeling I have for him into ones of friendship. I miss our chats but he still manges to make me laugh when ever I get down its been nearly for weeks and although I'm not fully over it I want him to know I'm alright. It was only 2 weeks ago I blurted all my feelings at him and told him I loved him... please help I really want to help make a friendship with him work! xx

My ex and I broke up 3 weeks ago and I know I shouldn't but I still really care about him. It wasn't a bad break up but we'd been disagreeing and arguing more than normal because I was on holiday over 200 miles away and we hadn't seen each other for nearly 2 weeks, he also has big exams coming up and has just gone into year 11. He said things were just too much and maybe after his exams at the end of the school year we could try again. The thing is I'm finding it really hard to get over him, I'm only 14 but I find everything reminds me of him and seeing him at school doesn't help. I tried not talking to him but its difficult because I really miss our chats so much, he was always the one I went to when I needed to talk and him to me and the truth is I'm terrified of doing my GCSEs next year having someone to talk to about it is all I really want but he's the only one I'm close enough to ask about his experience. I've also tried getting to know one of his friends but to be honest it was just awkward so I gave up, I'm trying to meet new people but everybody knows everybody at my school so its hard. We (my ex and I) met up last week but I knew as soon as I saw him it was a bad idea I nearly turned and went home but I wanted him to know how I felt and how much pain the break had caused. He said he was "drifting" and wasn't sure but he only had one shot at these exams and had to do well he really wants to get the grades to go to sixth form and then to uni. I've come round to seeing I need to get over him so that he can do well but I also really really want him back...Another thing is I've thought about waiting for him but I don't want to wait and then he doesn't have any feelings or I realize I don't and I might have missed out on being with someone else. My friends keep telling me I still talk about him a lot and I need to get over him so I'm asking if there is any really effective ways to get over someone and also want to know what you think I should do about the whole waiting thing. I'm really confused and need help big time please help!!

Thanks xxx
