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!"

♥[?]♥ i pretty much like my body..except my legs. is there any exercises for your calves? i hate mine :[ -- im a girl.. help please
I'm sorrie to give such a common answer, but walk and jogging will do wonders. Jumping rumping is also a big help, and what's better.. bike riding! I have been bike riding like a FIEND for the past THREE DAYS.. I already notice a way huge difference! :D

♥[?]♥ hi, I am a girl who is 13. I always act mature for my age, and have friend's who are always older than me. Is this normal?
Of course!!! Friends are friends; regardless of age! Just as long as you don't catch yourself hang out at a 50 year old man's home without your parents present also... =]

♥[?]♥ i was wondering if theres any eye shadows that you can buy at like walgreens or whatever that show up really good. like bright colors..pink lime green blue n stuff. thanks!
Walgreens sells brand name eyeshadow, Hun. Check this out; it's what I use:
http://www.walgreens.com/store/pickcolor.jsp?CATID=100292&navAction=jump&navCount=0&skuid=sku1083885&id=prod1083892


It's GREAT stuff at a GREAT price!! It comes in many shades too!! You really didn't mention your budget, but I think $3.45 is prettie darn good! I really wouldn't recommend buying something for $1.50 or so [at least as far as eyeshadow goes], as it is generally likely to be crummy. However, this is not always true. It's definitely a risk though. I say if you have to save your money to get to $1.50... wait til you have $3.50 for the good stuff! :D

♥[?]♥ is it true that u can go blind from jacking-off. i heard it from somewhere and i just wanted to know and if it isnt true, then why do some people say that? thx!
Awww!! Nooo, that's definitely not true! People just say it to be jerks, and worrie you. There really is nothing to be afraid of. It's a very healthy activity. And hey.. if it brings you happiness, give it all ya got. ;D

♥[?]♥ my boyfriend says he would like to go to 2nd base..maybe even 3rd. the problem is..i know people have so many ideas of what the bases are that i don't know exactly what he means. could someone please clear this up for me? also, we have been going out for three and a half months..is it too early for me too go that far with him?
This Really just depends on WHO you ask. It seems that everyone has formed their own opinion on this. I view them as:

1st- Kissing.
2nd- Mutual Masturbation [fingering, handjob].
3rd- Oral Sex.
Home- Sexual Intercourse.

Hopefully that clarifies?



And as for if it's "too early" for you to engage in such activities with him.. well, that really *is something only you can answer. Just do what you're comfortable with. Be firm in your morals, and never be afraid to say no!!

♥[?]♥ i'm 14/f, and i need new sneakers. can anyone recommend me any brand of sneakers(not nike because EVERYONE has them) or any kind of sneakers that they think is really good and looks really nice?
I see you've gotten this 300 times, but I honestly do love Vans. I'm sorrie to answer just the same as many other people have before me, and if you feel that that makes Vans too popular [like Nike], then I can definitely see that. However, I find Vans to be not so popular at all anymore. But maybe that's just me? =]

♥[?]♥ ok, iam a prude and this might sound soo werid but i was wondering how to kiss [ like make-out ] and i have braces ... when i do makeout with a guy will it hurt his lips or tounge or anything because i have braces?
There really isn't a way to kiss 'wrong'. As long as you're not sucking up on his nose, you should assume you're doing at least fairly decent. I don't have braces, but I highly doubt your baces will hurt him in any way, Hun. He'll be playing around with your tongue, not licking your front teeth.



It's difficult to tell you HOW to make out, but I found a website that thinks it's capable of doing JUST that: http://www.virtualkiss.com/kissingschool/



Goodluck!! Hope this helps!! :P

♥[?]♥ what's the percent chance you will get pregnant if you use a condom during sex?
"When condoms are used reliably, they have been shown to prevent pregnancy up to 98 percent of the time among couples using them as their only method of contraception."

♥[?]♥ I get headaches alot and they hurt soo bad it feels like my head will come rite off! What do I do? (and medicin doesint help)

-girl, 13yrs
Aww! =/


I'm soo sorrie to hear you have a headache!! I know what it's like - I LIVE with a constant headache!! I have MSG sensitivity, so that's what does me in. It NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER goes away!! This has been going on with me since I was 7!! I get it from the foods I eat. Do you get headaches often?? Daily?? Medication for me doesn't ease the tension of my headaches either. Have you tried it all though: Tylenol? Extra Strength Advil? Ibuprofen?



Well it doesn't take a genius to tell you to try to take a nap [if possible]. Of course keep the room with dim light and zero sound. Speaking through past experiences.. the silence hurts more than noise sometimes, so maybe you might want to keep the radio on so very slightly, to the point where you can't even make out the words -- this helps me a TON!!!!!!!!! Also, it's good to make shore your hair is completely down [flat on your head] - this is one less thing tugging on your skin, ya know?? Another thing, for many people, they meditate. It probably seems silly, but I've tried it before [with as many migraines as I get I'm willing to try ANYTHING!] Just sit calmly and take small slow breaths, while picturing a scribbled on chalk board. Pretend your headache is the white chalk scribbles, and picture yourself erasing away the headache. After saying that, I realize it DOES seem a tad bit odd and off the wall, but it's completely up to you whether the headache is bad enough for you to resort to that or not, but give it a chance; no one has to know. ;D And the most IMPORTANT thing to do... apply ***strong*** pressure to the spot that is pounding, whether that be the temple, the side of your head, the top of your head, between your eyes and so on. Apply pressure and hold it down for about 30 seconds. After that, you will notice an immediate difference.



I'm sorrie to hear you're not feeling well, but hopefully this has been of SOME kind of help here! Best wishes, from someone who knows EXACTLY what you're going through!!!

♥[?]♥ dear magz,
i like this girl but dont kno if she likes me back.we went out once and i felt a connection but i dont kno how to tell her or ask.plz help.
I know this probably isn't the answer you were wanting, but I think it's best to just flat out ask her how she feels. Don't beat around the bush, just say it. Just be bold, be honest, and go for it. If you want to know for a FACT what's in her heart, you MUST question her on this. Make it clear to her that you want to take your friendship 'to the next level'. And she won't be mad or angered, because it's a perfectly legitimate question. You're just asking for clarification of her feelings for you. She will understand this. Tell her all that she means to you; don't be afraid to get deep and personal, as this may enhance your chances with this lucky lady. Hopefully, this will get her to accept all of the beauty and splender she has right infront of her. =]

♥[?]♥ Lately I've found myself eating less and become more selfconcious. My boyfriend pokes my stomach a lot in a joking way and I'll think he's poking my stomach fat. My friend called me fat, but he was kidding, but I got very defensive over it. If I skip a meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner I wont think anything of it. I'll lie sometimes to my mom and say that I did eat when I know I didn't. I'm always hungry, but I never want to go eat anything. Are these signs of anorexia?
Kind of. I think that if it goes to the point where you catch yourself lying about your eating habits... you're in trouble. You really shouldn't let people bring you down. If it bothers you when your boyfriend touches your tummie.. tell him plain and simple to 'knock if off'. I'm shore he will understand. If not, sounds like you're with the wrong man, Hun. Just make shore you eat no less than 3 GOOD SIZE meals per day, and you should be fine. If you honestly feel like you're in trouble with this, I think you should bring it up with a trusted adult. Anorexia Nervosa is not something to toy around with. It's a serious and fatal condition.




I'll include a link on some of the damage that can be done to the body as a result of malnutrition. Hopefully this will scare you straight:

If you would like me to try or host it for you on my photobucket account, all you have to do is message me on AIM. S'up to you. Goodluck though. :D

♥[?]♥ i am kind of confused cuz like next year there are going to be slow dances and stuff like that but isn't slow dancing just rocking back and forth (side to side) ha told you it was a stupid question ha!!!

anyways thanks all for helping!!!!!!!!
plz help
Well, kind of. "Rocking back and forth" isn't too descriptive, but I'm shore I know what you're talking about. And truthfully.. it's prettie much what you see all the time on television. Generally, the female places both hands on the male's shoulders, while he places his hands on her hips. Music plays, and they slowly sway from side to side by moving their hips and taking little steps. I suppose I can see how you might think this SEEMS dumb, but it can be a very personal and meaningful moment. =]

♥[?]♥ Hey im going into the 8th grade and i like this kid and i never met him and i heard that he liked me before but i dont know him and im scared of talking to him i liked him since last year but the thing is hes popular and im not a geek or a popular person im just a normal person u know and i dont know what to do should i just leave it alone and go find someone i know? please help!!
Well.. you've never met him, but yet you've liked him since last year?? Did you meet online or something, or did I get confused there????


In either case, I advise you to act on this. "Popular", "Geek", "Normal", or otherwise.. doesn't matter!! He's only human, and so are you! You're complete equals!! What someone labels themselves has no bearing on the person they are! I say if you feel you can find happiness with this guy, why would you ever want to deny it, ya know? Go for it, Tiger! =]

♥[?]♥ well itz not a school relatioinship

♥[?]♥ how can i shave my "below the belt" area without gettin those little hairs that are all prickly
*i rate high**
Here's some tips for you:

- NEVER dry shave.
- Find a shaving cream/gel you're happie with.
- If you can't go out and purchase shaving gel, use a bar of soap and lather your legs up REALLY good, but keep it moist and lathered.. don't let it dry out.
- If you CAN purchase shaving gel, I recommend 'Skintimate's Shaving Gel' or 'Barbasol Shaving Cream".
- Use a good razor, and change it often, if not EVERY time.
- Yes, disposable razors are fine.
- After shaving, you could apply lotion or baby oil to help moisturize, and assist in preventing razor burn.
- DO NOT shave daily!! Try every other two days or so.



Hopefully this is of some use to you. =]

♥[?]♥ Does anyone know the code for URL's for Myspace. Like, insted of the URL it's like "Click Here". Anyone know how to do that? :)
Simple, use the following HTML code:


< a href="SITE ADDRESS HERE" >WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO SAY HERE< / a >


Delete the EMPTY spaces within the "< / a >", and simply delete the TWO empy spaces with separate the < and > from the address part. [ONE on EACH END]


Sounds difficult, but it's quite easy! :D

♥[?]♥ How do you make a paragraph? (The code for it).
To skip a line, it's a simple < p >, and to just go down to the NEXT line.. it's < br >. Just delete the EMPTY spaces within the < and >
