Mackenzie's advice column

♥[?]♥ is this a good poem:
Surrounded by friends, but she has none of her own, shes in a crowded room, but feels so alone.

Late one night she was lying in her bed, tear drops falling, thoughts running through her head.

Her hopes and dreams and she cried until she could no more.

Home she could no longer stay, so she ran far away, she left her quiet home that night, she went down the street and out of sight.

She didnt see the car until it was too late. she felt all emotions at once. Pain. Love. Hate.

Now shes somewhere where everyone cares and the streets are paved with gold. She looks down from heaven, shining her light upon the young and old.

So if you have a friendship that is strong and true, then guard it with your life, unlike the girl who spread her wings and flew.

did you like it?
i need advice.

It's remarkable, it really is. If you wrote that, you show incredible potential. It's really lovely. I was touched. Assuming it's your material, how long have you been writing? Please get back to me. =D

♥[?]♥ I have written a few short stories and I think they are pretty good and I think they could be full stories if I had more detail. Do you think I could use them as playwrites?

It's possible; I'm sure it's not out of reach. Stay positive and keep your head up. =D

♥[?]♥ i really wanna lose liek 15 lbs. what can i do ??? plz help im desperate

It depends where you want to see the difference. Different exercises target different areas. I suggest your standard jogging, and crunches. Jogging is a great choice, because it targets many areas: biceps, calves, butt, tummy and so on and so forth. Do these regularly, and I suggest looking for tips and ideas on line. Just make sure you do the exercise correctly or it won't have an affect at all [some excerises are harmful if done incorrectly]. Also, a healthy diet can do wonders if you stick to it. Goodluck. I hope you reach your goal.

♥[?]♥ well i like this one guy and i think he like me! we talk all the time like on the internet and phone. i asked him one day on the internet if he likes me and didnt answer and signed off! does that mean he and is probebly to shy to answer or he doesnt like me???

This means you should discuss this with him in person or on the telephone. That way, you can hold them to the question and carry on a conversation. The internet lacks feelings, and there's too many shallow escapes.

♥[?]♥ i'd like to start my own babysitting business. how can i get started??

Well for starters, you should learn what to do in case of an emergency. Make sure you know how to give CPR and know what to do in case of a fire, or even a scraped knee. Assuming you live with your parents... try babysitting a little sibling. If you don't have younger siblings, try friends of the family. If all goes well, you could try printing out flyers and posting them up at your local stores. Babysitting is a big responisibility, just make sure you're prepared. I wish you luck with your business, please be careful.

♥[?]♥ I'm 12 and i like to watch soap operas... am i weird??

No, you're awesome!!

♥[?]♥ i dont kno anyone in my new skool *highskool*im not a mean person and i have alot of friends in my old skool do you think ill make friends cuz im really scared about it please help!thanks in advance

High school is a very rough time for most of us. Especially the first day.. first few days, or even few weeks. I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll have friends before you know it. Just keep your head up and remain positive. And always give people a chance : you can never have too many friends. I wish you luck. Please let me know how things go. Take care!

♥[?]♥ iif i wanna tell the boy i love how i feel and ask him how he feels towards me how would say it exackly ?

Personally, I find it best to meet them somewhere private so it's simple to carry on a conversation where you can easily express everything you feel necessary. Sometimes it CAN be hard determining the 'right' way to say it. I just tell it to him as it flows... it's your feelings.. if you like him.. he's probably AT LEAST a decent guy, so I'm sure he'll respect what it is you have to say to him. Emotions are crazy, it's fine if it doesn't flow exactly smooth, try your best, try to be as clear as possible, help him understand. I wish you luck. Take care! And let me know how things go!!

♥[?]♥ Hey i was jus hoping some one could help me. well u se ive been hanging out with this guy alot and weve made out and done some other things. but were not goin out more like *together*.ok so here the problem. my x boyfriend jus broke up with his girlfriend and hes just been some one i could always talk to. and he other nite we were hanging out and did some shit. so woul that make me a cheater? and should i tell the guy im together with. it was jus a one time thing but i dont regret it.ne advice is good! thankx!

I don't think it classifies you as a "cheater", but perhaps if you could so easily forget about the guy you currently like [even if temporaily]... you didn't like him as much as you THOUGHT you had. On the other hand, you're not dating this guy, so you don't have any obligations to be faithful. If you still feel you have something with the current guy you like... why don't you do something about it? Why don't you ask him out? Hopefully then you'll be able to control your hormones and remain faithful to him. No one likes being hurt -- try to think of others. Hopefully this helped. Goodluck, and take care!

♥[?]♥ i liked this one kid for a really long time.. i only ended up telling a few people becuz i dont like every1 knowin.. then after awhile i found out he liked me for awhile too.. then he asked me out at 1:00 A.M on my birthday.. i said yea of course.. and then i didnt get a phone call from him or nothing.. then at 11:O0 P.M that night.. he told me he doesnt think we should go out anymore.. he never told me a reason though.. i asked him why he even asked me out in the first place and he said i dunno.. he said he was sorry n everythin.. i think i might still like him but i cant say i loved him cuz we were neva together long.. wat shuld i do.. try n get ova him or still like him?

Aww, that's horrible; I'm sorrie to hear that. Personally, I don't see the point in dwelling on someone who won't fully apreciate you. I say your best bet is to put it behind you. Just use this as a learning experience, and look forward to the things that will be coming your way in the future. Just keep your head up and you'll be fine. I wish you luck. Hopefully this has been some help. Take care!

♥[?]♥ i have been tryin my best to give you guys good advice and i hope im doing a good job..but no one seems to be answering me back...does this mean im no help??...could someone help me and tell me how im doin??

This is my first night on Advicenators, so to be honest I've never been fortunate enough to stumble upon a question to which you've answered. I really think this is site has a solid purpose. Some may think it's ridiculous, but perhaps for one, it could be a life altering experience. It's kind of you to devote time to this. It's always great to have second opinions, and I'm sure your advice is wonderful and greatly appreciated. Take care!

♥[?]♥ I liked this kid for a couple months.. but we always would flirt during the school year.. now its the summer n he asked me out n i said yea... because i really started to like him... we went out but he broke up wit me... then he asked me back out and i said yes... then a week later i broke up wit him because he was never wit me n he never called... but then i started to relieze that i missed him alot... n he said he still liked me but he was still thinking about goin out... i was ok wit that... but then he started liken my best friend... i told him he plays around wit peoples heads to much... should i still like this kid? or should i move on?

Moving on would be the best choice for you. It's plain to see you have no future with this guy; don't waste your time. You go out, you break up.. you go out, you break up... you go out, you break up.. That's not a healthy relationship for anyone. Maybe he's not really looking for a relationship at all. Perhaps he just wants the attention, without having to accept the responisibilites of commitment. There's much better people out there who would truly want to be with you, I wish you luck in finding the right one. I hope this helps. Take care!
