ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:



"Exert your talents,
and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ what does it mean when you have a dream about a guy that you are going to go out wit really soon. but in your dream you had sex with him? is that a good thing or bad thing?
WhetheR it's "good" oR "bad" is one's OPINION. EitheR way, it's NOT haRmful, and it's NOT a cRime, so theRe's ultimately NOTHING wRong with it. It doesn't Really "mean" anything; fact of the matteR is.. it was "just a dReam", and theRe is no pRoven evidence that dReams mean anything. You definitely shouldn't feel BAD about it; it's no big deal, and peRfectly natuRal. No woRRies! :)

♥[?]♥ I just got a really nasty prank phone call. I never give out my number to anyone that I don't know and I couldn't recognize the voice. They were asking me if I'd like to participate in a lesbian teen porn video so I played along and said yes. When they called, it was a restricted number. I was wondering if there was any way I could figure out the number without having to get the police involved. Just so I can figure out who it was that called. They called my cell phone by the way. So, is there a way I can trace the number?
If the numbeR was RestRicted, theRe's nothing you can Really do about it. HoweveR, foR those calls that aRe NOT RestRicted, you can dial *69 foR the last numbeR called. And I know you said you don't want to get the police involved, but if these calls continue and get real bad, you can dial *59 RIGHT afteR they call. This will RepoRt the numbeR to the phone company, and afteR the THIRD time they call the numbeR is blocked, and MAYBE the police aRe aleRted? I'm not POSIVITE about THAT part though. SoRRie I can't be of moRe help to you. I guess if you would like to know moRe, it would be a good idea to call youR telephone pRovideR. :)

♥[?]♥ Im 13 and im going to planned parenthood to get birth control..will they let me have it even though im only 13?? And im sexually active-I just want to be safe!
Of course they will provide you with birth control!! :) Why would they try to deny someone the right to have 'safe' sex?? I'm actually impressed that you care enough about yourself, your body, and your partner to actually go ahead and GET the birth control to begin with.
Have fun?? Just be so so safe!! :D

♥[?]♥ Hey Mackenzie.

I'm having some trouble and I thought you'd be able to help. I dumped my boyfriend of 10 months the other day. We'd been having a lot of problems since we hit 6 months, so I finally broke it off. I had a lot of help with making my desision. Well, I had been thinking about it for quite some time now, but I didn't know if it was the right choice. While I was at a little Fourth of July party I met this guy I had seen around school and he went through my pictures and found a picture that said I love brendan. He got real sad and said, oh he's your boyfriend? I told him the whole story about how he hasn't called me in a week and has been ignoring me. So it became this big discussion and everything seem to lead to breaking up with him, because there seems to be better out there. The guy that I met at the party, Austin, texted me later that night and told me if I wanted to hang out feel free to ask. So yesterday we hung out and we had a ton of fun. He keeps telling me I'm different from most girls and he likes me. I like him a lot too, but I'm really confused. Did I make the right choice of leaving my boyfriend? Austin told me the other day that he wanted to end up dating and he said he'd wait a while to ask me out. I know i want to date him, but I don't know when would be too soon for him to ask me out. I'm over my old boyfriend because he treated me horribly, but I'm really conufused. PLease help
Well it's nice that you had people there to help you decide what to do, but I hope you didn't let THEM have the OVERALL SAY, ya know?? Ultimately, it's NO ONE'S choice but YOUR OWN!! It's YOUR relationship, YOUR life, and YOUR heart to break, if such an unfortunate thing should happen.

And you said you think it might be "Too soon" for Austin to ask you out???? There isn't a SET time period, Hun. If you like this guy, go for it! Some people live their ENTIRE lives never finding love or happiness, so I believe that if you feel it *could* be there.. why would you ever want to deny such a thing???

And as far as your ex boyfriend goes, I think if you are already taking a liking to another guy, you definitely made the right choice in ending that relationship. It's natural for you to question it, as it was just such a comfortable thing to you in the past, it just seems easy to run back to. But it's well known that the quickest, easiest and probably best [in MY opinion] way to get over someone is to find someone NEW!! Think of it THIS way: Austin, or WHOMEVER you decide to date.. you will be comfortable with them EVENTUALLY. It has to start out SOMEWHERE, ya know?? It started out with your ex SOMEWHERE, and look how comfortable you became there, you see?? However it is MY opinion that you should keep your head up, and continue trucking forward. You're doing a good job...

Know that you can *always, *always, *always come back to me if you ever feel the need. I'm always here for you!! :D

♥[?]♥ this is an embrissin question but how big is the average size penis when erected?
http://www.sexinfo101.com/kb_penissize.shtml .. has THIS to say:
"Although most studies in this area vary slightly in the findings, the average erect penis length is 5.5 to 6.5 inches, and the average circumference is 4.5 to 5 inches."


I looked up some other websites to bring you more reassurance:

Hopefully you find this of some help!! :)

♥[?]♥ what does imao stand for?
I think you mean "LMAO"?? If this is so...

L-aughing
M-y
A-ss
O-ff

Just quick and easy computer language; nothing big. :D

♥[?]♥ hi my name is jess im 13 and my boyfriend and i are oviously together but thats not the problem. The problem is that his parents say im to young fo him when hes only 14 so he they made him break up with me but now we're secretly going out cause we cant be apart. What can i do to get his parents to let him go out with me?
luv Jess
WOW! Not to insult you, but I think if this guy REALLY 'liked' you, he would have had the guts to stand up to his parents and tell them to back the fuck off. It's **NOT** their decision to make. And the whole thing about you being "too young" for him is just a bunch of bullshit they're trying to throw at him to get him to end the relationship. PERSONALLY, if MY boyfriend dumped me because his mommie and daddie told him too.. I'd NEVER associate with his ass again. I mean, is he ALWAYS going to live HIS life for OTHER PEOPLE???? If that's the case.. living is pointless.... Do you honestly WANT this guy if his 'love' for you can be so easily swayed or taken away altogether???? Think about that......


But to get them to like you more, keep the contact to a minimum for a while. Don't call after 7:30, only come over once every two or three days, and try to have your boyfriend call YOU instead, that way you are less likely to get on their nerves. Being polite is a MUST!!! And don't be too loud or obnoxious. Even doing all of these things won't guarantee you their acceptance. They seem like disgusting and ignorant people, so who cares what they think anyways...

Goodluck to you; hopefully everything works out!! :)

♥[?]♥ is it normal to get a cold in the summer? because i think i have one i have a really soar throat and my nose is sooo stuffy! also what can i do to help get my nose unstuffed?
It's possible, yes. And there's not much you can do in the means of stopping it, other than the obvious. Drink PLENTY of fluids [water is *definitely best], take medication, and keep tissues on hand. Also, consume a lot of hot foods, soup is ideal - hot foods diminish the 'stuffyness'. Get a sufficent amount of sleep, if not MORE, and try the Vick's Vapor Rub [if you have it? It *does work..]. Hope this helps?? Feel better!! :D

♥[?]♥ a few days ago, my friend slept over at my house. she's worried about me because she thinks im starving myself!! i dont eat breakfast ; ususally have a pop tart or a bagel for lunch ; and mostly crackers for dinner. i dont think im starving myself.. but she does and my other friends are seeing it too. what do u think? im scared.. i dont want to be starved. please help .. ill rate high for good answers!!
Well why do you eat so little?? It DOES seem like you aRe definitely undeR eating, but a lot of it has to do with youR body size. You need to eat until youR full; do you do this?? Do you eveR FEEL hungRy?? And when you do, do you EAT? I suggest you staRt getting bReakfast in theRe; it's VERY impoRtant; it gives you something to Run off of. And between lunch and dinneR, have a snack, which could be a bowl of ceReal, an ice cReam sandwich, a yoguRt and so on. And cRackeRs foR dinneR??? Do youR paRents cook??? CRackeRs aRe not an accecptable dinneR - you need WAY moRe nouRishment that a few cRackeRs can pRovide. TRy making a can of soup, oR a sandwich. I think you would know if you aRe 'staRved', but you DO need to eat moRe RegaRdless... not eating is a VERY seRious thing with EXTREMELY tRagic and teRRifying consquences. It's not woRth it - don't Risk it...

♥[?]♥ Ok, Im 14, turning 15 in March and ive had my period since i was 10. I was supposed to get my period last Tuesday and it hasnt come yet, but I have had discharge since then. Why is it delaying so bad? I havent had sex, but is there another way i couldve gotten pregnant?
Unless semen could have entered your vagina somehow, you are NOT pregnant. So if you've never been sexually axctive, or not since your LAST period, don't worrie about it. But who knows why it's late. Could be stress?? Have you suddenly had a HUGE alteration of your diet?? Some things just happen, Kiddo. No worries; I'm shore it will catch up with you. :D

♥[?]♥ Iight, I have dis dude I'm goin wit n his name iz mike. Mike has a twin named jon. Last nyte, I was textin mike baq n forth talkin 2 him bout stupid (but funni) thingz. So I was waitin 4 him 2 text baq, I saw jon log on AOL, so I decided 2 say "hey" and den log off, but wen I said "hey" we started 2 talk even mo, but it was like 5 minz tops. I tol mike I had 2 go 2 bed and he said " yea wuteva imma leave while u n jon talk" n I guess jon had tol mike I was talkin 2 him. N now ma babii'z mad @ me.....wut shuld I do?!? Was I realli inna wrong 2 talk 2 jon?!? Is he jealous?!? Help me! O yea I'm 16 n a chix
Noooo, that wasn't "wrong" of you AT ALL!! Why don't you tell your 'boyfriend' to back the fuck off. He's *NOT* your keeper, NOR does he hold *ANY* authority over you!! He has NOOOO Right WHATSOEVER to dictate who YOU CAN and CAN NOT assosciate with!!! Just reassuRe him that there's nooo reason for him to be worried. Tell him that TRUST is a MUST in a relationship, and without that.. you've got nothin'.
Best of luck to you!!

♥[?]♥ hi i konw this sounds so immure but plz tell me waht is STD???? what is that means? thanks
Awww!! This isn't a stupid or immature question AT ALL!!!! We ALLLLL have to learn SOMETIME!!!!

"STD" is short for SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE. They are contracted through sexual encounters, such as oral sex, and sexual intercourse. HIV is one of the MANY STD's, later blooming into full blown AIDS. Some STD's are FATAL, CONTAGIOUS and UNCURABLE. It's a VERY serious matter, this is why deciding to become sexually active is such a tremendous decision.. there are many, many, many consquences.. some that could end up in the price of your life, ya know??

For more information on STD's, check out the following:

This was a good question; I'm glad you asked. EVERYBODY needs to be educated on this, so I hope you found those websites useful. :)

♥[?]♥ I know this is like unrealistic but I needa make around $1,000 in about a month. How can I do it? What should I do? What are some good ideas? Thanks!
I'm guessing you'Re too young foR a job??? The best thing I can suggest would be delieveRing news papeRs, and maybe [if you'Re 14-15+]doing some woRk at a libRaRy oR animal hospital - though they may see that as volunteeR woRk and you wouldn't be paid.. HoweveR, you'll neveR know until you ask! Also, you should check with any little local antique stoRes oR Mom & Pop pizza houses. Also, I know Wendy's and Subway hiRe at *15. I would say tRy theRe, but being summeRtime, I'm shoRe they don't need any undeRage helpeRs, ya know?? Aside fRom that, theRe's babysitting. TRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds at youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you know exactly how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume. Call them cRazy, but paRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you... How about selling things on EBAY? Also, lawn mowing! BIG money to be had theRe; geneRally $10.00 - $45.00 peR GOOD sized yaRd. Goodluck!! :D

♥[?]♥ OK this is really weird, but, my fingernails are always dirty! Like when i go in the shower, they are clean then, but when i get out, the dirt is there! Scrubbing the soap doesnt work. Ive also tried taking toe nail clippers and picking out the dirt-doesnt work. Whats wrong with me? How can i get them clean?
Nothing is WRONG with you; they just get diRty. Oh well, it happens. TRy *caRefully swiping a toothpick undeR the nail to clean the diRt away. And just do this as often as needed [once a day?] It's not Really a pRoblem; things happen, ya know? :)

♥[?]♥ How do guys feel about dating girls younger than them ? i know this guy who seems to like me , but i want to know if i should flirt more . I'm 13 , and he's 15 (: thanks !
How would WE know if YOU should fiRt moRe if we aRen't theRe???? Anyhow, I say go foR it; fliRting neveR killed anyone. And I don't know a single guy that's against dating anyone youngeR, so if you'd like to staRt something up with this guy.. don't be afRiad.. just go foR it. :)

♥[?]♥ I go to Canada on holiday in 5 weeks, and I'm really looking forward to it! The thing is, even though I know I'm not fat (I'm size 10, UK size), I want to feel more confident in wearing my bikini while I'm on holiday. So I was wondering if anyone could suggest any ways to get my tummy a bit more toned quickly (remember I only have 5 weeks!).
A few good activities that can simply assist in poRpoRtioning the body in it's ENTIRTY would be anything that gets the blood ciRculation goin', such as jogging, jumping jacks, jumping Rope, and walking, and bicycle walking. Also, 'tis the season of wateR aeRobics, and they will woRk like a CHARM!!


And if you'd like to taRget youR tummie specifically, tRy doing a couple hundRed sit ups oR cRunches. I know, I know, I know.. 'a couple hundRed' is A LOT, but if you bReak it up into sessions, it's not that difficult, tRust me. I'm the Queen of lazy fuckeRs, so if I can do this, YOU can do this! :P



Also, pRoviding you cut out the EXTREMELY unhealthy foods, such as WHITE bRead [substitute it with wheat], cake pRoducts, ice cReam, hambuRgeRs, and soda... [if you'Re used to consuming A LOT of it] you can see a MAJOR diffeRence the fiRst two weeks, ALONE. My fRiend did it.. and we weRe both shocked to all hell!


You can find lists of healthy foods at:

-- http://www.fit4free.org/healthy%20foods%20list.htm
-- http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php
-- http://bellaonline.com/articles/art1862.asp



As you pRobably alReady know, it's best to eat SEVERAL SMALL poRtions a day. Say, have an apple and a piece of cheese, two houRs lateR have a few cRakeRs, and an houR lateR have one piece of wheat toast, and so on and so foRth, ya know??? Little intakes of food like that givs youR body time to digest it pRopeRly. You see how that's betteR than eating one oR two huge meals a day... because it takes too long to catch up, and it can not buRn the caloRies quick enough, and then just quits, adding body fat.


But of couRse weight loss takes time.... you just have to stay committed, and have the dRive to keep it up. TRy to keep youRself busy... and sleep as often as possible... these things keep youR mind busy and off food. I can't Really say how long it will take; I suppose that diffeRs fRom peRson to peRson. It Really just depends on how much weight you'Re looking to shed. I'd say you could lose 10 to 20 pounds in a month; that's veRy possible.


Goodluck to you!!

♥[?]♥ My sister is taking biet pills. I found them in her drawer and i have wanted to tell my mom but its just too hard. Shes lost about 15 pounds she said since may. and that can't be too healthy because she was already about 115. how do you think i should deal with this?
I think you should bRing it up to HER fiRst. To avoid making it seem like you'Re butting into heR business, just say it out of nowheRe in a soRt of hypeR moment. Say you walk into heR Room.. make conveRsation about something else.. jump on the bed and say something like.. "So UH.. why do you have those diet pills, Yo?" Just make it seem casual, you know what I mean?? PeRhaps just a talk with heR about it will get thRough to heR that at 100 pounds she does NOT need to be dRopping any moRe weight... I wish you luck!! Hopefully eveRything woRks out!! :)

♥[?]♥ How do you french braid your own hair? what are some tips & tricks? thanks.

Honestly, I have noooooooo idea. HoweveR, I looked up some websites foR you that believe they can teach you JUST THAT. Hopefully you find these useful:
