Dear Tyra,

As the mother of two teens, I congratulate you for recognizing the gift your mom gave you.She is a very smart woman and you have learned well. Children need to be healthy in order to be beautiful. I have never and will never tell my daughters to diet,I tell them they are beautiful! Children are naturally beautiful and with exercise and healthy diets they will stay beautiful and become confident adults. I enrolled my daughters in karate at very young ages. They are now 2nd degree blackbelts.

Young girls can be beautiful, strong and confident without dieting.
Please continue to pass the word on.

Love, Connie

Hi Tyra!

If we are lucky in life, we get to have "special angels" touch & less our lives. Thank you Tyra for being that angel not only to myself, but to so many others. You have shared laughter, tears, your mama (SHE'S THE BEST!), & so much more. As a wife, a mother of a 19 year old & a four year old, life can get a bit crazy. But when Your talk show/America's Next Top Model is on I feel so good. I know it may sound silly, but that hour of time is my time to relax & try to take time out for me (which isn't always easy - LOL). You are not only beautiful out, but beautiful on the inside. I wish you all the success in the world. Both professional & in your personal life. I pray that God's blessings will always shower over you & your family. I have only one small request of you. That you always remember to take time out for "you". You do so much for others Tyra. Be happy!

Hi Tyra,

I am 32, 5 feet 2.5 inches tall and weigh 98 pounds. Throughout highschool, I never passed 90 pounds and had absolutely no curves, so I am thankful for the little curves that I have now.

I constantly hear comments directed to women who are a size zero concerning eating disorders and implying that everyone who is that size has an eating disorder and that we look tired and unhappy.

In highschool, I tried to gain weight by eating big macs, whoppers, extra large fries, and etc. which is not healthy at all. My father has high blood pressure and high cholesterol and has had clogged arteries. My sister has had high blood pressure since she was in her mid twenties, and my brother is only 28 and has high cholesterol, so it was definitely not a good diet for me. I became health conscious and exercised as well as became a vegetarian.

When I was 28 and about to get laid off, I went to see a doctor about getting a prescription to help me sleep at night, because the thought of being laid off and losing my only source of income was very stressful to me. She recommended that first, I need to see a psychiatrist about my weight. I told her I thought I ate enough and didn't think I had an eating disorder. Her response was that she really doubts that someone who is my age and at my weight eats enough. She then looked at my blood results which were good, but she still said she finds it unbelievable that I am 28 and 96 pounds. She kept repeating my age and weight. Needless to say, I never saw her again. She made me feel self conscious, and I started to question if I did have an eating disorder, but my friends who have known me forever and some who have lived with me know I do not starve myself.

I am not a vegetarian anymore, and I don't exercise as much anymore. It is not because of that situation. My current doctor said that I should watch my health and cholesterol because of my father's medical history, so I have cleaned up my diet again and try to exercise more.

I still weigh about the same, but my point is that I don't think my weight should be an issue if I am healthy. People pick on others because of their weight and jump to conclusions that they eat too much or that they starve themselves. There are many that stand up for the opposite of my problem, but it seems to be okay to assume that someone who is somewhat under the average weight is anorexic or bulemic and it isn't okay to me.

Thanks,
Marie

hey tyra, i'm 15 and have been struggling with my weight since i was 11. i had become anorexic. i went down to under 100 pounds, which for my tall height, was extremely dangerous. i started to watch your show and saw the episode where bulimic and anorexic young woman were having to leave their families to get better. i thought that could be me someday. i had my mom take me to the doctor. my doctor recommended that i start to eat bigger meals each day. after a few short weeks i am doing much better and now instead of starving myself, to stay healthy i eat nutritional meals and exercise daily. thank you so much for putting that on your show, it really saved my life!

Hey Miss Tyra!

Okay..well first of all...I am A HUGE FAN OF YOUR SHOW! I watch it about 3 times a day. I LOVE IT!
I am so happy you help young girls/teens. I am 17 and it's hard going through self-esteem issues and trying to be the best you can be. Sometimes..we try so hard that we take advantage of what we have. I'm going to be a senior..I'm happy, but kind of nervous because I have to figure out what I want to do with my life. I see your show, and you support all those girls no matter what happened. I am those people who put my friends/family before me. I just want to say thanx for being a great role model for all young girls. I get on your virtual studio and its interesting meeting people who have the same problems/interests as me. I get to comprehend my situations and I love it. I am going to keep watching and hopefully ONE day in my life get to meet you. *You Just Never Know*!! Thanx!
~XOXOXO~

Hey Trya, well I luv ure show....I try to watch it everyday when I'm at work. Well when you had the Pregnancy Party you said there was going to be a Bugaboo Cameleon Stroller up for grabs on the internet...I want it so bad for my sister who's on her second boy and soon to be due. I have been looking for it but can't find it. Did I miss it?

Hi, Ms.Tyra. My name is Atiyah, I'm 12 yrs. old. There is something that I really want to change. I know that I am going through puberty, but I am going through acne. I get bumps all over my forehead and sometimes my nose. I hate it. I have tried so many acne products and none of them work!(clean & clear, clearasil, deep clean, neutrogena soap and acne wash with micro beads. Sometimes I'm jealous of my friends because they have clear skin. Sometimes I feel ugly too! But I finally threw them all away. I wish there something I could do about, but I don't know what will work. Can u please help me? I really hate these bumps. If there is anything u could do please call me. I'm counting on u!

Hi Tyra! I just want to thank you for the great shows you put on. I am a 28 year old mother of three and some of your topics have really hit home. I spent 8 years as a child being molested only to grow up and be raped and beaten in two seperate incidences. I suffer from an eating disorder and absolutely hate myself most days. But for a hour a day I forget about the rotteness of life and enjoy watching you. You are such an inspiration, and make life a little easier to handle. It helps knowing I'm not alone in the things I suffer. You are amazingly beautiful and a powerful role model. My life has been hell, but SO WHAT. I can make it better, you have shown me that. Love you lots.

hope you can email me!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Hi Tyra how are you well i'm not realy great. just want to let you know that i love your show and your a real roll model for lots of peoples and i'm one of them. Wishing you the best and GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!

Hey Tyra,
I love your show, you are very inspirational and I appreciate the positve image that you display for women. I have went from weighing 285lbs to weighing 167lbs yet I still felt fat.. I have battled with my self-esteem and weight for the last 5 years since I've had my son, not to mention the horrible stretch marks that I have been left with!!! But after viewing your shows it made me realize SO WHAT I have stretch marks and im not a size 4 I am still a beautiful person inside and out. You are a very courageous, independent, beautiful, strong women and I have so much respect for you.I never thought that I would ever be comfortable with my body again, but I AM I CAN ACTUALLY SAY THAT I LOVE WHO I AM AND WHAT I LOOK LIKE, NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY!!You have not only inspired me but you have been a blessing in my life and for that I thank you!
P.S. I hope one day to meet you, my husband said that he is going to make that dream come true for me so I am holding him to that, so until then....

Eindhoven, Netherlands, 31 May 2007

Dear Tyra...

First I want to tell that I love watching your show, it's so inspiring and it's also very funny. Thank you for being a amazing role model for young girls and women. I am 18-years-old but because been threw a lot in my life I feel older. I already left a message on your message-boards months ago during a very difficult time. I hope you didn't read it. (even that you always say in your show that your read all your messages, Tyra that's impossible!) Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I learned a lot from your show. No, my life is not perfect. But I'm a good person and I care about others. Angelina Jolie is my first role model the second one are you and I want to thank both of you for all the good deeds you both doing in your lives! May God Bless Both of You and Your Families!

I just wanted to tell you, that I'm doing ok, this life is long road and everybody has his own road. People are not bad, they're doing bad things and that is a HUGE difference. Whole our life we want to be angry at a person, we want to hate the person who broke our hearts. The fact is if you're doing exactly the opposite that your life is turning a better way, because they can see, who strong you are and they won't be able to hurt you like they did before.

Again Dear Tyra, I'm not perfect absolutely not, I am Absolutely not the Netherlands(America's)NextTopmodel. But I don't care (or what you always tell in your show: SHOW WHAT!) But I feel free now, I can breathe again ;), and I'm so grateful that threw the things I have been threw and seeing what others been threw made me more realistic. I'm still young but I'm happy that I don't have to wait till the age of 40 before I could be happy with myself... Thanks again Tyra!!!!

And I want to tell that I'm a muslima (not that that is a big issue) but I like your since that moment about racism at the muslim-community in Amercia more that I like the Oprah Winfrey Show! Because the whole world view about muslims change after 9/11. Here in the Neterlands (Holland) is it not that bad as it is in the States. I mean: I didn't had any problems being a muslimlady in the Netherlands (Thank God/Allah!) Offcourse did things change, I wear a headscarf and maybe you won't believe me and it's my OWN choice. I'm glad to be a muslim and I'm proud to show it to the world! So thank you very much for that AMAZING show! (I already thougt that everybody seems to forget the racism againt muslims all around the world.)

I dont believe in ONE Truth... I think that every religion, every way of life is good and right. They are no ''good'' and ''bad'' people. But in the most cases if people doing things the extreme way then they are able to do thing that are realy bad, and truly I don't believe that they're doing it for the Sake of God/Allah/Budha etc. but for their own seek... And I think that it is realy wrong that they tell the people that they doing it for the Sake of the Bible/Qoran/Torah of even for the Seek of their Country... Everybody living their lives they way they love the most and NOBODY has the right to take that from it. And I personally think that religion means to be good to each other, care about each and help the people in need. Race/Belief/Sex it not important, it's about love and charity but mostly PEACE. There is more than enough war in this World. And ALL of them because of a STUPID reason. But they destroy lives and kill so many innocent people all around the world.

I thank God/Allah/Buddha everyday that I am not naief and I love being a muslima but that is because it is a very peaceful religion like every other religion. And I'm happy that I can love myself again and look myself in the mirror. We all got the same problems we need to unite and to help each other in difficult times. Thank you for being a amazing and a honest person and thank you for all the times that your show was a amazing support for me!
My excuses for my bad English language use!

I finally will end this e-mail. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
May God Bless You and Your Family!

Your sincerely,

Salima Benali

Tyra-
Hi! My name is Megan Anderson. I live in Colorado and I am 20 years old. I simply wanted to write you to say that you are such an amazing AMAZING person, and such an inspiration. The world truly needs more people like you! It's quite obviouse that you are gorgeous on the outside, but you are also absolutley beautiful on the inside as well. You are such a compassionate, careing, hilarious, and respectful person! Watching your show always brings either a smile to my face, or tears to my eyes. It is so heart warming to see you with your guests on the show. The way you handle and speak with people is amazing! You truly have a gift! The things you do to help these people is just wonderful and very inspiring. I'm sure you inspire many people to do good, and to have good hearts.I believe that your guests really listen to what you have to say, and take in all of the positive comments and advice that you have to offer them. They probably believe in what you say, because you are a celebrity, but also because you are somebody who they have not met, and have not yet heard it from before.I think you boost a lot of self confidence and that is very important! Really i'm just a fan writing to say thank you for being you, and putting your qualities to good work!
LOVE YOU
LOVE YOUR SHOW
KEEP IT UP!
Love,
Megan Marie

HI tyra its me kadisha i luke at your shows every day istay home from schoolk just too watch your sexy face i love you because you are sexy hot and i love people like you can you tell beyonce and ciara i said hi for me and tell chris brown i said hey bye i love you thats all that you can care about byeee

hey tyra,
your talk show is no longer airing here in the U.K only amercias next top model (which is great:)) i just want to say that u are a truly insperational person who inspired me to get better as i suffer frm an eating disorder and nearly died last year, thanks tyra xxxxx

Hey Tyra! I too just wanted to say Thank You for all that you do. I've been watching your show for quite a while now and one thing I've always noticed no matter what the subject is, you always handle everything with the truth, integrity and above all compassion. Recently, when my daughter had all four wisdom teeth removed (at once) she started watching your show with me. The show was about people trapped in their homes due to medical conditions or mental conditions. My daughter Charlotte said to me at the first commercial break - "you know Mom - Tyra truly is a beautiful person". I told her yes, you are beautiful and that you were a top super model. She promptly told me "no Mom I mean she's beautiful inside and out". She was right and I'm so very glad that my 15 year old could see that you make a difference. My daughter has struggled from the day she was born premature and has overcome many obstacles and has been many expert doctors. Today, she is healthy, an all A student, one test away from her black belt in karate and weapons and just enjoys life. Did I mention she is also blind in one eye? She loves fashion and loves clothes and loves to model everything for us at home. However, she has realized that being only 5'1" and 99 pounds that she won't ever be a supermodel. Her dream is to become the best forensic anthroplogist/serologist out there and help provide answers to families in need. She has a dream to meet you and tell you face to face how great she thinks you are and what an impact you have made to people's lives and that is okay to love yourself for who you are, not what people think you should be. Thank you for making a difference in our lives. Martha in Michigan

hey trya just wanted to say that ive always look up to you because your a very hardworking person i did a report on amazing women something like that it was for my debutante program i said i look up to you most cause you tell girls that no matter what they are beautiful and lots of girls i know look up to you to...i love watching americas next top model too...i wanna say that its good to have someone like you on t.v bring young and old people up i watch the show today and i hope that lady who thinks she look like the elephant man gains lots of confidence cause een if she did she is beautiful inside...i hope te lady who is over weight she is able to loose weight for her to beable to go out and do things and i hope her daughter in good health to... thanks for always being so inspirational stay beautiful...

Hey Tyra,

I am not so sure of how to put this, but I'll like to put across a simple word of admiration for the trade mark of humanity, friendship, reassurance, love, personality and role modelling you have incarnated through your shows. I am less than a month old in the United States, and am proud to let you know that Tyra is the only password that has caught my attention on TV. I especially remember the following phrases and their reactions to people:-
1* "We've arranged for help from..." when it comes to desperate situations, and the next thing... Tears of joy, tears of hope
2* "X of you standing before me, and I only have X-1 pictures in my hand" and the reaction is obvious: a skipped heartbeat. Talking about The next American model. I hope your choices reflect the blue seal you are creating in the society.

I like you to remember Tyra, that apart from being the beauty ticket you are, don't ever forget that living saints draw inspiration from you.

Lots of love,

Hi Tyra,
I'm not sure how to email you, but this is the only way I found I could talk to you. Tyra, I would like to tell you that your my role model, and that I love how you love to help people with their problems, especially with the weight problem.
*sigh* I have a weight problem Tyra....I hate it so much. I'm 14 years old, and I weigh in the range of 230 LBs. It makes me feel like a total outcast at school, mall, beach...EVERYWERE I GO!
I hate going shopping with my mom because, not only am I wearing clothes that no one wears, and because I can never find something cute and that makes me feel good. I hate going to school, especially when gym class starts. I try not to do Jumping Jacks because everything jiggles and it makes me embarrased because people start talking or giggling. When they do, I just feel like going and crouch in a dark corner were I could hide from everyone. I'm entering High School in 3 months, and thats enough pressure as it is, but add on the fact that in High School, your appearance is EVERYTHING! I really want to be a cheerleader, and were pretty clothes, but I cant for obvious reasons. I hate looking in the mirror, Sometimes I feel like crying from changing clothes so much because everything makes me feel fat. I try really hard not to be so worries about it, and its really rare when I'm not, but most of the time, I feel really bad for myself. I don't want to enter High School as a "chunky monkey." but what can I do? I try so hard to lose weight, but I can't, and in the end, I end up adding weight. My appearance is not only ruining my life because I can't do a lot of stuff, but also because its interfering with my love life. I really like this boy at school, and he's like my best guy buddy, and he knows I'm obsessed with him, but he does or says anything about it. I see him hug and kiss (on the cheeck) all of his other girl friends, but never does anything like that to me. It breaks my heart, because I know the reason. I'm really sick of crying over this problem, and I'm sick of all the pressure. Especially now that my Quinceanera is only like 4 months away. I know I will look horrible in that beautiful dress, and that the thing that they're going to put on me to make me look a bit less fat, will hurt all night. I'm not looking foward to dancing, I can't dance and I'm afraid of every part of my body just making a mind of its own and moving in any direction it pleases. I hate going to stores or seeing advertising in magazines and Tv and the web because I see that they NEVER use a fat woman, they just show the clothes they are selling for them. But then I see pages and pages of skinny girls in swimsuits and stuff, and I wish I had a chance to wear that bikini or top or jeans. I wish that for once in my damn life I could look Sexy, and have people look at me and wish they had my body, I wish I could wear the prettiest little bikini to the beach or pool and have guys whistle at me, or smile or something positive, instead of whispering to the person next to them, or making weird faces, or giggling. I feel like a lower class girl because of my weight problem...and I feel like I'm on the outsdie, looking In. I'm crying as I write this letter, that's how bad this problem is. I have such a wonderful family, and friends, and life overall...but I HATE that I can't enjoy it because of this. I HATE that I think, and tell to god that I hate my life...That I should have never been born. And I Hate how I don't even want to own MOTHER to see me in my underwear, and how I don't want to come out of the dressing room to show my outfit to everyone. I want to have pretty curves, and be able to jump on a trampoline without anyone thinking anything bad about me. Without anyone laughing at me because I think that I have the body to do that. Its so embarrassing and hurtful to know that I havn't even had my first kiss. And how I hate having to lie to people telling them that I have, then they make jokes about it like, "family doesn't count."
ARG! I just hate being "la gordita" and I hate not being able to ride my brother-in-laws motorcycle because of its weight limit. Most of all though, is how I can't go on specific rides at the amuzment park....because the seat won't close, and because I'm afraid that my weight will lead me to my death on there. But the top reason of why I hate my life and appearance is because my mom and family always worry about me....and how I worry to. I'm afraid of getting diabetes, or heart-attack and having to shallow pills everyday like my sister and now my mother have to. How I know my mom is afraid that something bad will happen to me. and how I'm afraid of dieing young. Sometimes I'm so worries about my appearance at school, that my grades drop dramastically. I just don't have enough confidence to build on it and turn my life around. I just don't. The only thing that I like on my body are my wrists...because their not as fat as everything else....and the only compliment I've heard a lot is that I have a pretty face....But what does that matter? What does it matter when all people and boys think about is the way your body is shaped. How big of curves you have and how you work it......All I'm trying to say tyra, is that, I'm sorry If I'm the only person...whom you can't help with your "be positive" and your "Be confident." stuff. I just don't have the will power to listen to your words and advise and fallow it. I wish I did though.
Writing to you this, helped me somehow right now. I'm not sure, but I feel better in a way. I hope you read this and comment back. I need some help....any. By the way....keep rocking that spirit, and body! And keep helping us "fat" people....we need it....well....I do anyways...

Love always,
Marjorie Sarti

Hey Tyra,
I just think that it was so cool that you do the tailored by tyra shows because that is just one of the ways you change so many lives. I just got like the greatest idea for the next tailored by tyra makeover shows. You should do like a tailored by tyra prom edition for high schoolers!!! that would be so cool. Since i am going to finish my first year of high school on june 7 yea yea!! woot!! sorry got carried away i just really want it to be summer vacation.lol. Next year im a junior, and everyone says its the hardest year and prom is like the night to relax and forget about anything so i want to help people relax and feel beautiful on that amazing night just like i will (through you of course). Anyways that is my idea i hope you do it. Just e-,mail cuz i have way more ideas about that show. I am so excited now.
love ya MWAH

Hi Tyra!
I cannot say Thank You enough for doing the show on gastric bypass makeovers. I have not had a gastric bypass but I could completely identify with the young lady that had the large areola issue. I have always felt the same way, I have always felt my breasts were ugly because of the size of my areolas. I now know that I do not have to live insecurely and can have them fixed with surgery. I have made it a goal of mine to have the surgery after loosing my baby weight. You are such an inspiration and I want to thank you for being so real. Again.. Thank you, you are such a blessing.

Hey Tyra! I'm Kelsey, I'm 15 and from Louisiana. I just finished watching the episode of your talk show that showed a woman whose house was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina and some men built her a new house. I would just like to say thank you for finding someone for that family that can provide them with the support so that they might be able to stand back on their feet again. Last summer I went with my youth group from church to New Orleans to clean out houses in the Lower 9th Ward. The damage was incredible. I'm so glad that you showed people that after all this time, the Gulf Coast area is still not restored and big or small, there's a role for everyone to play in the cleanup of that area!

I would also like to say you really are a great role model for everyone from young girls like myself to elderly women. I love watching both of your shows. I understand that you probably have a lot of pressure to do great things, but I personally think you don't really have to try. God has gifted you and all you have to do is be yourself! Thanks for being such a great listener, inspiration, and role model. We all love you Tyra :)

God Bless!

HI TYRA:

Tyra, thanks for giving all the girls in the world somebody that they can finally look up to. unlike all the other celebs, parents would love for their kids to end up as kind, caring and loving as you are. You're the greatest!

XOXO,
Cassandra

P.S. PLEASE for love of God have Johnny Depp on the show, you have no idea how great that would be!

OH I MUST CLARIFY SOMETHING I SAID IN MY POST. THE PART ABOUT PROVING TO ME THAT THERE ARE PPL OUT THERE WHO CARE ENOUGH TO HELP PPL ON NEED. YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PPL. I MERELY MEANT THAT AS IN SHOW ME THAT SOMETHING IN MY LIFE CAN BE GOOD. PROVE TO ME THAT THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE TO HELP ME AND SHOW ME THAT LIFE ISNT ALL ABOUT ABUSE, STRESS, DEPRESSION, SADNESS, OR FEAR. AGAIN TY FOR ALLOWING US TO POST ON UR PAGE. YOUR ARE AN ANGEL SENT FROM ABOVE THAT IS FOR SURE.

THANK YOU "HIDING BEHIND HER PAST AND LOOKS"

Hey Tyra!!! I am sending this post in response to todays show where you gave those 4 wonderful woman the makeover of their lives. I will tell you a lil about myself and fill you in on why I feel I truely deserve a serious makeover.
Let me start by saying that I am a 35 yr old single mother of 3 beautiful children. I have recently some what over come a serious case of depression. I still have public issues that I feel will never go away on account of my appearance. I do not leave my house unless I really have to because I do not like what I see in the mirror and I know others will not like it either. I was raised in a very not so happy inviroment. My mother hated me since birth and was never really there to do her job as a mom. When I was 10 my lil sister broke my front teeth and my mother never took me back to get them fixed correctly. I have not one picture of me any where in my home and never will ... I do not smile no matter what because my teeth are painfully horrible. Life is hard when your raising children and you can't work to pay bills because your afraid to leave your house. I have gone thru alot with my past abuse, both mentally and phyicially since the age of 5 (that I remember). I feel I am a strong person to have gone through what I have and still can say "It's ok, thing will get better". I was told i have cists on my overies and I have a serious case of arythmia and they are asking that I wear a heart montior for 30 days to catch my heart acting up but I can not afford one. So I pray that I am here for my children at least until they are grown and can care for themselves. I am all they have.
I know there are other people with worse problems then I have but I beg of you with everything in me, Tyra plz help me be pretty. Help me get this heart holster so I can see what needs to be done so I can watch my kids grow. It is in my family to have some heart condition. I can't add more to my stress/worry list. Please prove to me that there is good people out there that will help people in need. I try to make myself believe in love but with my childhood its tough to feel that. I do love my children with all my heart but as for feeling the in love feeling, I can't! Something inside me feels love is a myth. Well I wont trouble you with more of my pity story. There is so much more I am not able to talk bout.

Thank you for being the angel you are. If this wish I beg for can not be given its ok. I understand.
YOURS TRUELY, "hiding behind her looks and past"

Hey there tyra, I watched your show about substance abuse today. My father was in my life.. he never left me but I never saw much of him because he had an alcohol and drug problem. I dont have many child hood memories with him I am fifteen now and hes been sober for three years now :). I hadnt known that he was sober because my mother didnt start to tell me about why he wasnt in my life so much until I hit highschool. By then I had already begun smoking, drinking, doing drugs, I have been arrested three times for drugs and alcohol and I am only fifteen.. I mean I remember certain stuff from when I was a child that I dont really want to talk about, I was put pn probation for a year and the fact that I couldnt smoke just made me start to do harder drugs more often because i could beat the drug tests. I was getting into coke and ecstasy every day for months. Well things have happened that have made me start to think about my future and learning more about my father has made me want to stop.. because im scared. But even though I've almost completely stopped, since i started at a young age I dont know what to do with my time, I dont know how to have fun as a sober person.. I just dont. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks alot, Anna

hey tyra this is katie,and im 13 and i just wanted to thank you for all the tips you haveshowed my even like that doggy poop paper towel role thingy on todays show =] im a little over weight but it doesnt really matter anymore to me so thank you so much katie

i want to thank you for the show you did on rehabs such as Promises. I am 23 now and i have a story that i beleive would help alot of girls and young women. I was around addictions my whole life. Growning up with a deadbeat addict dad and a violent alcoholic mother..i tried to escape at the early age of 10. I would love to get all messed up and draw the sweetest masterpieces of my emotions and write either poems or starting books. i started drinking heavily and smoking well over 100 dollars worth of weed a week. By the time i was 11 i was doing lsd and ectasy weekly. In school i would smoke weed right in the bathrooms and bring mixed drinks in soda bottles. by the time i was 14 i tried cocaine several times. To try to get away from my problems i not only was forced by my mother but decided to move to florida with my older sister. It was my senior year with kids i grew up with since kindergarten. I found my self more alone and empty then i ever imagined and my sister kept me as a prisoner. I took care of her child like i was his own mother while she fed her addictions. On top of the continuous every minute of the day being high, drunk or trippin, i began to really get caught up bad on cocaine. i was the youngest one always out of the group and real cute so i never paid which made me get deeper. I would stay awake for weeks at a time all skeeted out. A constant roller coaster. i would bump heavy amounts of cocaine while killing bottles of vodka until my heart was about to pop. when i would feel like that i would smoke a blunt and wait a while before the cycle started again. To make an extremly long story shorter, i got in alot of legal trouble and eventually found myself in rehab rather than jail again. this was a inbound rehab that changed everything i was. the judge gave me permission to leave after three months. i recognized the person i was on my way to be and kept myself in there for an additional year and a half. Mind you it was a very strict, inbound christian rehab. it was rare that people could take all the disipline. i was in there from the time i just turned 18 to a few months after i was 21. it was the greatest thing i ever did. i started writing an autobiography about all those years. what i went through, saw and thought since early ages of 3 and 4. one day i will publish it because i know my story will help many young girls and women. I have been trying to go to collage ever since for either art or writing and an unable to get there. but one day, i will. i actually just won national editors choice awards for a poem i wrote called"precious blood" about how i was lost and now i am protected by the lords blood. very powerful. i actually wrote it to be on def poets.hehe :) never made it..hehe..i thought your show was great. shows like that should run longer than an hour. there is to many emotions and stories that could really change someones life. but thank you for that show. i know many girls saw that realized addictions in themselves and i pray that they find the help they neeed. i wish i could tell the world about "restoration house". it is privatly owned by strong black southern women. they become mothers to you. and me being italian and puerto rican from new york was a cultural shock:) And i love them deeply. i still talk to them when i need them. me and my fiance who i was close to during my addiction who was also really bad on cocaine, go to them often. He was a big dealer back then. me and him got together one day, decided we didn't want it anymore and all of a sudden never touch anything again. three years later we are together engaged, strong happy and sober. a completly different life than either of us Ever known. now we both go to church. we try to go on sunday and wednesdays. and we lay in bed everynight and pray to god together for bringing us together and bringing us so far. I didn't mean to write this much, it is late. maybe one day when i find the means to publish my book, you will read it. Until then,with much love and gratitude,
nicole roberts

ps i would be great to hear back from you, it's not like your schedule is that busy. haha jk.

hi Tyra,i love your personality.you always seems to know the right show to put on and the right things to do to make others feel better.i am writing you hoping that you would be able to help me deal wuht the suricidal problem i have.i have tried to do it many times and then somehting would stop me and i start crying.i know there are many incredible things in life to live for but i also know how hard it is to live.the only way i can make a doifference in my life is to get a good education but it is difficult since i am poor and do not have the finance to study as i would like.i am tried of doing the wrong things to pay my tution but the wrong things make me feel better since i am doing it for a cause i would like to get to the details but i am afraid.if you can fine anyway to help me be it by email i would love that.thanks alot.keep the good works up ok.

Hey Tyra

Hey Tyra,
Well I watched your show last night I watch your show every night when it comes on!!! Well I really liked when you gave those wonderful women a make over! especially the one that looked like she was from the 80's she looks so pretty and I just like the job you did for those women! Well you made me feel better about myself after I watched your show especially after I watched the one where the one about what everones race thinks about a persons body,I really thought that was intresting!!! Well I gotta go bye!!!!

Kelly

Oh Tyra! what great show this was. These women really deserved the makeovers. Beautiful and sexy! They don't look like the same women. Carrie who beat breast and cervical cancer is better off without that jerk ex of hers. I'm happy that she's better. Tyra you are the greatest, very caring and beautiful roll model.

Hi there Tyra,

It was not long ago that I am watching your show, but from that day on, i could not afford to miss watching your show. I love the way how you empower women with regards to the looks on how we should carry ourselves despite the odds (skin color, height, weight... etc.). More power to you! Love yah!
