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. [:

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

♥[?]♥ ok, when your birthday comes, does the age on your column automatically change? thx
No, SiR; one must do it themself.

♥[?]♥ Today i feel like, well i dont know. Like i want to just cry and stuff..and i really dont know why. Im not upset, or anything like that.
Why do i feel like im going to cry?
I honestly couldn't tell ya. I've been theRe; happens to me quite fRequently actually. It's just one of those days. It's a dRag, but it's fine; theRe's nothing wRong with cRying. Just know you'Re not the only one whose had days like that. I hope things shapen up foR you. Take caRe! =D Know that I'm heRe if you eveR need a fRiend.

♥[?]♥ can you be featured columnist if you don't have a picture or icon up?
Yes, my fRiend.

♥[?]♥ that jessica simpson and nick lachey are getting divorced, and thats why theyre not doing Newlyweds anymore?
They'Re supposed to do an inteRview, oR peRhaps they have alReady done the inteRview, saying that all those lines aRe a bunch of bologna. They have been letting the cameRas in on theiR maRRied life foR two yeaRs now. If you ask me, they've done theiR time.

♥[?]♥ I like this kid alot, we went out a while ago but things were different then. hes become alot more popular wit the girls and everything now, and hes really cocky too, i told him i still liked him and he said he might like me and i wouldnt be wasteing my time going for him. But he'll flirt on and off and says he doesnt like anyone. should i just give up on him or try and make him like me.
I suppose it just depends. I know I wouldn't want a guy I would have tRust issues with. I guess you just have to ask youRself if you can put up with all of his fliRting with otheR people duRing youRs and his Relationship. It's youR call, but fRom the way it sounds, peRhaps moving on would be best. Goodluck -- I hope eveRything woRks out foR you. Hopefully I've been of some help.

♥[?]♥ My Mum hates me she hits me all the time wat can I do?
Uhm, I'm not quite shoRe if this is a seRious question oR not; it's a bit shoRt and lack gReat detail. HoweveR, this is a big issue, so I shall tReat it as a seRious question: If she is physically abusing you, you need to absolutely positively take a stand foR youRself! Next time she lays a hand on you, you call the police! Also, it's a good idea to always keep like a dollaR in change in youR pocket at all times, that way if you feel you must leave, you still have a way to phone foR emeRgency help. Goodluck, Babe! I hope things manage to shape up! I wish you the best!

♥[?]♥ when i was a kid and even in middle school..i didnt even want a boyfriend i was soo occupied with sports n school n my friends i didnt think about having a boyfriend. Well im in highschool now..and all of a sudden something just changed in me..i want to find love now..is that normal and will i ever find love? They say some dont..is that true?
Nothing abnoRmal about that at all. It's an expected paRt of gRowing up, so natuRally eveRyone has been theRe. I would ventuRe to say that it is absolutely tRue that some people live theiR entiRe lives without finding love, yes. HoweveR, I'd say eveRyone at some point in theiR life has been impacted so deeply by anotheR individual enough to the point wheRe that is all they peRsonally need; but what woRks foR one may not woRk foR anotheR. And don't woRRie, you'll most likely find love someday, but don't tRy to Rush it. I know you long foR it Right now, but it'll happen when the timing is Right -- just be patient, and make the most out of eveRyday. Take caRe! Hope I helped!

♥[?]♥ I have a soocer game today in like 3 hours! My leg is really hurting me and I don't think I can play! I really have to go and play cause we lost 4 games and those 4 games I wasn't there and I'm the best player on my team!If I don't play we'll lose again!any suggestion? ok thanx! I rate! by!
~*Tiffany*~
Well, the old saying goes, 'take one foR the team'. HoweveR, theRe's an exception to eveRything. If you find you'Re in too much pain to play this afteRnoon, then it's completely unfaiR of youR teammates to expect you to jeopardize *YOUR* health oveR one game. What makes you think that *THEY'D* show up if *THEY* weRe the one in pain, especially if you say you'Re betteR than eveRyone else. PeRhaps you should ask youR guaRdian to take a look at youR leg and see what they think if you'Re Really conceRned. Bottom line, this is Really up to you, Hun; only you can decide if you'Re well enough to play today. Just use youR head, and be pRepaRed to accept the consequences should you fuRtheR injuRe youRself as a Result of today's game. Goodluck deciding! I hope you feel betteR!

♥[?]♥ I believe in sex after marriage, but my boyfriend is persisiting i have sex with him. He aggrivates me ALL the time and I can see myself giving in. I know I will regret it as soon as I've done "the deed". I'm confused as to what I should do; should I choose the easy option and give in? or go by my wishes and wait?
Wow! Don't *EVER* give in to something that doesn't feel Right! It's unfaiR of youR boyfRiend to keep pRessuRing you into intimacy. Have you told him how you feel? I suggest you sit down with him and have a calm, seRious conveRsation, in which you can lay down the law, and tell him exactly how you feel and would like it to be. If he is *any* kind of human being at all, he should undeRstand youR decision and Respect youR wishes. Just stick to youR guns, Hun! Don't let someone take something so deaR to you just to please themselves - it's selfish, disgusting, and simply unfaiR. Just keep youR head up, and take a stand foR youRself; you'll do just fine! I hope eveRything woRks out - goodluck. Hopefully I've been of some assitance. Know that I am heRe if you eveR need a second opinion. =D

♥[?]♥ Tampons hurt so much when i try to put them in. Im pretty sure im putting them in the right angle. Help!!!
TRy getting a smalleR size, and stick with the ones that offeR Rounded tips foR easy application. If you'Re feeling any pain oR discomfoRt, Read the diRections again, and give it one moRe shot. If things don't get any betteR, keep it simple and go foR the pads, my deaR. Goodluck - hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ Ok,here goes: My friends and I are starting a dog sitting biz but now I'm not sure we can get any customers cause none of us live in a neighborhood and no one wants to drive so far to my house. And the moneys for a really good cose! Any one have any ideas to get customers or raise money? (theres only 3 of us so no car washes,too hard!)
Please don't delete!I will rate! Thanx for your help!

Make a bunch of flieRs and distRibute them on the bullentin boaRd at youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. Also, you can tRy putting an add in the papeR. AnotheR option, f you'Re paRents appRove, and you'Re up foR the challenge, tRy baby sitting. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you and youR fRiends 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. PaRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. Also, tRy putting up flieRs on stReet coRneRs and in papeRs foR lawn mowing - big money to be had theRe; geneRally $20.00 - $65.00 peR good sized yaRd. I wish you and youR fRiends the best of luck. Hopefully eveRything woRks out foR you, and hopefully I've been of some assistance. =D

♥[?]♥ hi i think ive scratched my nose inside it, well on the right side of my nose is really hurting inside it as if its cut, becuase its really sore! I cant see no cut and theres no blood, i havnt been picking my nose but it was itchy the other day and i kept moving my nose around to stop the itch but i didnt pick it. if you get what i mean, it feels if its packed with boogies but its not please help i dunno what to do or put on it thanks .
I wouldn't woRRie about it quite yet. It could just be a zit, foR one thing; that's not uncommon. Just wait it out a week, and if things don't impRove by then, peRhaps you should consideR consulting youR physcian. I wish you the best! Hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ i'm 13 and not allowed to wear make up. my mom thinks i'm too young (what's the big deal, though? it's not like i'll turn into a slut or something!). my dad.... anyway! i was wondering if there was something kind of like make up or something or whatever any tiups on how i can look prettier like i would with make up but is not very noticable (except it makes me look a little better). ways to make my lashes longer, little bit rosier cheeks, whatever. but as long it doesn't make me look cheap or anything. if this helps, i'm a brunnette, darkish beige skin, lightish brown eyes, full (but not huge) lips. i'll rate 5's to everyone who helps.
TRy bRightening up the cheeks a bit, and peRhaps apply *a little* bit of mascaRa. Since you'Re not allowed to weaR much make up, going with a veRy suttle pink oR cleaR lip gloss would bRing it all togetheR and put things in pRopoRtion. I wish you the best! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ ok, so i am/was really good friends with this girl. she was new to our school nd just because she was new and not totally ugly, every guy fell in love with her, and is in love with her. but, she really isnt that pretty at all , she has big boobs, but i have the same size, she is no skinnier than me, she is a size larger, and im a better cheerleader than her, but they still like her only because she is new. its not her personality cause she is kinda annoying. and she is leaving our school next year but for some reason they think they still have a chance with her. but, i still dont get why everyone likes her better? please help me understand. i rate 5 for not bad advise.

Maybe it's something you can't see... peRhaps the guys like heR because she's willing to fool aRound, then walk away -- it's entiRely possible. I undeRstand wheRe you'Re coming fRom, but honestly... I don't see a majoR complaint heRe... I mean, you'Re the one saying she's not as good as you, so don't dwell on it, and be happie being *YOU* I wish you the veRy best of luck! Hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ theres this guy at school that all my friends are friends with, but i havent really liked him from the start... maybe its b/c i hear all these bad things he says behind one of my best friends back... anyways what should i do...
i've tried being nice to him and talking to him more but, he just obviously doesn't like me eigher...if i could learn to be friends with him... that would be great, but he doesn't really want to be... or at least thats what i heard from one of my friends
One more thing... should i try to forget all of these mean things that he has said behind my friends back??
-confused
So basically you'Re saying he doesn't want anything to do with you? Well that's his decision, and I suppose you just have to come to teRms with that. It seems like you've done all you could. Don't woRRie about getting him to like you; it seems like you've tRied to bRidge the gap, but he just Refuses. I say just give it a Rest and don't conceRn youRself anymoRe. If he's Really that good of fRiends with youR fRiend, peRhaps he'll change his opinion of you, oR at least tReat you with Respect in the company of youR mutual fRiend. I wish you the best of luck. Hope I helped!

♥[?]♥ Alright, so.. I'm torn between two people. I was asked to this dance, by a guy completely out of nowhere.. I mean, he was more of an older brother than anything.. I was hoping the guy I like would ask me, (( keep in mind I've liked him since sixth grade )). Anyway, so.. I'm not sure if should give up on my crush and try and like my friend.. or still hold onto my crush.. By the way, me and my crush are really good friends too.. have known eachother since kindergarden..
In that scenaRio, I would go with the one who offeRed fiRst, but peRhaps that's just me?? Only *you* can deteRmine this one. Since you aRe so close to both of them I can only hope and assume that they should be able to accept and Respect youR decision. Just be honest and upfRont to them -- don't lie! This is *youR* dance, theRefoRe *youR* call. Do whateveR will suit YOU best. WhateveR you do... don't let anyone else Ruin this foR you. You only have so many school dances, and they'll be oveR befoRe you know it; so make the most out of them, and live it up! I wish you the best; hopefully I've been of some help. =D

♥[?]♥ My best friend was/is a guy. We'll call him Bob. Well Bob just got a girlfriend and they had been extremely tight before they went out. Now all of a sudden, Bob's barely talking to me or hanging out with me anymore. I miss hangingout with him. If I confronted him he'd probably listen but not do anything because he'd forget. Please help I really miss him :(
"if" you confRonted him? See, THAT'S the pRoblem -- you *haven't*. You can guess and assume all day long, but you Really ought to discuss this with him; that's the best and most obvious way to get youR feelings acRoss. Goodluck; I wish you the best.

♥[?]♥ Makeup/tips for lookin good for a:
Any tips/ suggestions for a girl that is 13 dark skin, black hair, brown eyes and tall[5 10/11]?[not heavy makeup]suggestions
I have daRk bRown eyes, and daRk bRown haiR with tan skin. A lot of the time I pick my make up accoRding to my outfit, but not always. HoweveR, I go with a lot of light puRples, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white and A LOT of black eyelineR -- I find that Really appReciates bRown eyes. HeRe's a tip: to get youR eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, oR PetRoleum Jelly on fiRst, THEN apply the shadow. Also, theRe's this technique I ALWAYS do, called "Shadowing". It cReates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the coloR eyeshadow you wish to weaR, then using a bRistle bRush, dab a bit of gRay eyeshadoW oveR it!! It's goRgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as foR eyelineR... when it comes to liquid oR pencil, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... MOST people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. theRe's a chance that the liquid may Ruin. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $17.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd PREFER "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! Feel fRee to come back to me if you eveR need moRe suggestions. Hope I helped!! =D
