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!"

♥[?]♥ hi i'm 15,male,ohio and there is this girl that i like but shes really popular and i'm not i'm hated by everyone popular and i'm not sure if she hates me and i'd really like to get to know her shes gave me her number but never sits by me on the bus and jus says hi.
If this girl gave you her number, then she obviously doesn't "hate" you, right? And as far as the whole "populatiry" thing - that shouldn't enter into this whatsoever!! If this girl really likes you, then she would gladdly risk her "popularity" for a shot of being with you. If you should unfortunately come to find that she's embarrassed of you, then you know she's not worth a single second of your time, tears, or effort! However, there's only one way to find out her true intentions, and that's to call her, so go get 'em, Tiger!! ;D

♥[?]♥ I'm starting out as a freshman in high school. I have no idea what eyeliner color is great on caramel tan skin or what brand name I should get for any eye liner thats noticable.. but not too visable. Just right for nice face but not over done. any ideas?
Well, if you don't want it to stand out TOO much, I suggest going with a pale brown liner. Black would also look fabulous, but from the way it sounds.. it might make too much of a statement than you're looking to create.


And as for products, I think the two best brands of eye liner 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 - $15.00], 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". Good news though, it's 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 eye liner on the market!! 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!! [:

♥[?]♥ Ok... for neone who has a clue out there-

if a guy plays with your hair, WHAT does it mean?
If he does this without you asking him to, I say he likes you. Think about it: why else would he do it? It's an intimate way to draw you closer to him. Also, I've never known many guys who randomly think of and voluntarily decide to play with my hair, and there's certainly WRONG with my hair. So it seems like you've found yourself a really sweet guy - don't let him slip away! Go get 'em, Tiger!! :D

♥[?]♥ is it ok to make out with a retainer will it be any differnt do you think the guy will notice?
I've personally never had a retainer, but I asked my friend for some information on this. She informed me that it's no different from kissing WITHOUT a retainer. She claims to have never encountered a problem of any kind with kissing while wearing her retianer. Hopefully this provides you more reassurance! =]

♥[?]♥ I am a 13 year old girl, I am wondering if I have depression or not. And please just tell me of any tell tale sighns that you know of. thanks.
Well I found a couple links for you. I think they should be helpful and easy to comprehend. I suggest taking a look at them:

- http://www.wordworx.co.nz/depression.html
- http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk/Depression_Information/symptoms.htm
- http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk/Depression_Information/signs.htm

♥[?]♥ hey guys!! i'm the pickiest shopper and my fav stores are hollister and abercrombie but i need to find more shirts but i can't find any. do you know any besides macy's, sears, jc penney's, forever 21, pac sun, tj maxx, and ross??
I suggest Mervyn's, Walmart, Burlington Coat Factory, Anchor Blue, Kohl's, and *Fashion Bug [my favorite!]. Also, if you're willing.. you could find some cute outfits in thrift stores. They have low prices, and since you can find just about anything, you can easily mix and match articles. [:

♥[?]♥ who sings that song breathe(2am) or something like that..shes a new singer and sounds kinda like michelle branch etc..! thanks
Yep, the song is called "BREATHE", and it is performed by ANNA NALICK. It's off of her 2005 release, "WRECK OF THE DAY".

♥[?]♥ sorry for being so long just need to know wat it means I RATE 5's !!!!!i had this realy weird dream were these evil rock people were trying to kill me so then finaly we got them in a room and was filling it with deadly gasses and i got locked in side so then i started dieing slowly finally somehow someone gave me a gun slow i pointed the gun to my stomache *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* *bang* but i didnt die just made my pain worse then i shot my heart *bang* still didnt die shot my head i still didnt die!!!then i woke up
Wow, well that certainly is interesting, but your dream doesn't mean anything. Many people have peculiar dreams like that; it's no biggie. Truth is, it was "just a dream" - Nothing to worrie about or get worked up over; doesn't mean a thing. =]

♥[?]♥ is it wrong for a 13M to have been never been kissed.
Aww, no - there is absolutely nothing "wrong" about it! Infact, if this helps you feel better: I have many friends who are 20+, and they still haven't ever held a relationship before. Honestly, there's no reason you should worrie about this. Just because some of your friends might have done certain things does NOT mean you should have already done them, too!! You're only 13 - you have PLENTY of time still. Truthfully, it's NOT as big of a deal as you might assume. Don't stress yourself out about this. It'll happen in time, and when it does it'll be an unforgettable moment. Don't cheat yourself out of one of the best teenage memories by rushing it. =]

♥[?]♥ Hi I am a 17 year old boy and my girlfriend wants to have unprotected sex
with me, but i'm not sure i want to have unprotected sex.

We have had protected sex before. Please Help me?.
Not to come off offensively, but at 17 you must know that unprotected sex is not a good idea. Being sexually active is a BIG BIG decision, and it must be gone about properly and responsibly. It's NOT all fun and games! Unprotected sex is a serious matter with major consquences, some possibly fatal!! You will risk PREGNANCY, you will risk STD's, you will risk AIDS. Now tell me, do ANY of those sound FUN to you?? No. If you feel that you simply can not handle a baby at this point in your life, then you really should use protection. Just think about this, and use your head, please! [:

♥[?]♥ whats better Limewire, Carebear, or Kazaa
Don't get Kazaa. Kazaa downloads a bunch of Spyware behind your back. It'll fill your machine up and slow it down by 300x!! To be honest, I've never used Limewire, because I've never had the need - Bearshare does me just fine. I believe you're talking about Bearshare, at least, because I've never ever heard of Carebear, and it would only make sense that you meant Bearshare. It can be downloaded at: http://www.bearshare.com/downloads.htm Yes, it's free. And while I've never ever ever had ANY problem with viruses and spyware as a result of Bearshare, this is not to say that it CAN'T happen. It's possible.. on ANY site, so just be aware of this..

♥[?]♥ do i like this guy and he asked me out but i said no because he is kinda weird but now i like him but i would be made fun of if i went out with him so hat do i do
Why would you be made fun of? Why do you even care if you were? If that's your fear, do this guy a favor and leave him be in hopes he can find someone better. Or, if you truly like this guy, he should be worth any harrassment the little kids might dish out..

♥[?]♥ whats a website where you can get free music without downloading anything? (i cant download cuz im on my moms work computer)
You can find songs at all of the following:

- http://www.xanga.com/xanga_music
- http://www.xanga.com/music_galore
- http://www.xanga.com/no_shit_just_music
- http://www.xanga.com/musicurl

♥[?]♥ ok, i thought discharge stopped after you got your period... does it? b/c i have haad mine 2 times and discharge has not stopped
That's fine - you'll find discharge won't *ever stop. No worries.

♥[?]♥ ok well my friend said that i should wear a bra when i go to bed to prevent me from getting saggy boobs when im older is that the right thing to do?
I've also heard this numerous times before. I've found no evidence that this is true. I think the only thing this could *possibly "prevent" is a good night's sleep.


I looked online for you for some information to back up my notions:


"Bras will keep your breasts from sagging while you're wearing them - but not for the remainder of time. There is no published medical literature showing that bras prevent sagging.


Even the bra industry seems to know this, as the following quote illustrates:

'We have no evidence that wearing a bra could prevent sagging, because the breast itself is not muscle, so keeping it toned up is an impossibility. What it can do, particularly for larger-breasted women, is obviously to provide the comfort and the support. So, if a woman wants a particular breast profile, she will buy a particular brand, and that is what they're designed for. There's no permanent effect on the breast from wearing a particular bra. The bra will give you the shape the bra's been designed to give while you're wearing it. Of course, when you take it off, you go au natural.'
executive John Dixey at Bras, Bare Facts documentary.


The unspoken rules of the society may force you to wear a bra to work or to social occasions, but there's no need to wear one for the purpose of preventing sagging. It just won't work. Remember also that breasts will benefit from bra-free time, so it is good to take the bra off whenever you can."



Sorrie for the length. I'd link you to the page, but it's loaded with nudity. =/ Hopefully this clarifies! :D

♥[?]♥ Whast the best music to be listening to?
That's really up to you. I like most genres of music. I'm particularly fond of country and oldies... =]

♥[?]♥ What are the best foods to eat everyday when your at an amusement park. Can I eat burgers and fries
Why would you be at an amusement park everday? Do you work there? And honestly, I wouldn't suggest a burger and fries everyday, unless you're looking to pack on a few pounds. I'd suggest sticking with something like hotdogs, fruit salad, bottled water, smoothies and yogurt. =]

♥[?]♥ are there any other sites like this one..wherepeple ask advice and others give it to them?
There's http://www.teenhelp.org. Other than that, the closet thing that I know of would be joining some forums. You can find forums on ANYTHING these days. Video games, fashion, parenting, military support and so on. The list is endless. If you're interested, you can try going to http://www.google.com and entering in "[WHATEVER TOPIC] forums" [:

♥[?]♥ Is it weird for a girl to practice french kissing on another girl or does that make them lesbian?
"Weird" is a personal opinion, so everyone will view it differently. I wouldn't call it "weird" to practice kissing on another human being. And it most certainly would not make one homosexual - just a friend helpin' a friend. ;D

♥[?]♥ Anyone know a code for Jimmy Eat Worl- Bleed American for MYSPACE ? It has to be myspace ! please please please !
You didn't mention anything about wanting the MUSIC VIDEO, so I assume you just want the BACKGROUND music. If so, here is your code:


< embed allowScriptAccess="never"style='display:none' src='http://a425.v8384d.c8384.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/426/8384/3b858b51/

mtvrdstr.download.akamai.com/8512/wmp/5/4814/22811_1_1_05.asf'AUTOSTART='True' LOOP='1' >


Now, simply delete the TWO EMPTY spaces separating the < [in the beginning] and > [at the end] from the rest of the code. Then copy it, and paste it into your "ABOUT ME" section.

Also, you see how in the middle of the code it says "..../3b858b51/" then skips a line and picks up at "mtvrdstr.down.."? K, well delete the empty space without deleting any of the code. I just created that space to break up the long line that was strecthing out my column, k?


I have a MySpace, also, so if you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. [:
