Hey Tyra, my name is Jo
and im a mother of 3 beautiful girls. Melissa, 20yrs, Kayla, 19, and Nicole, 17. My concern is with my daughter Nicole, You very seldom see her smile. She has a complex about her teeth. Shes a very beautiful girl but she needs her teeth fixed. I have taken her to the dentist but the estimated cost of having them fixed is over $5,000. thats not including the cost of braces.When she was little, about 5 weeks old, she had to be put in the hospital for what they decided was a virual infection. She was repeatedly vomiting, high fever, just a very sick baby. Well when she was about 3yrs old i had taken her to the dentist and he thought from all the getting sick it would damage her teeth. So we spent several thousand dollars on having her put to sleep and having caps put on all her teeth. this was supposed to make her permanent teeth healthy. Well as a teenager now, her teeth are worse then before we had the work done on them. All through school i have never gotten her to smile for a picture. I think some times she even refuses to date because of her teeth. Shes beautiful and has many guys wanting her to go out, but her self esteem keeps her from going out. Me and her dad have divorced about 6 years ago and im remarried now, but my husband is disabled and i just cant afford to do anything. So if you can help in anyway you would truely make mine and Nicoles wish come true.

Dear Tyra,
I must say first of all that i love this web site & your show especially the teen towne hall.My name is Joclyn, I am a mother of three girls.I was so delighted when i ran across this topic.I don't know if you could say that this is something i've wanted to do, but TYRA you have to belive me when I say that I have the BEST idea ever for a product for little girls. However I do not know how to go about getting it produced. But trust me when I say that this is the best thing ever. I also think that it would be wonderful if you did a show about something like this "people who have new idea's or inventions" (i know i would win)However it would mean so much if this would be taken into consideration.

p.s. thank you for your time & consideration

Many people have all kinds of crazy wishes and dreams that they want to pursue. All I want to do is suceed in life. I'm 16 years old, in the 11th grade with a two year old son. I really want to go to college. I go to school, go to a career and tech school,go to work, do my homework, and hardly ever have time to have fun. I live with my mom and grandmother. My father left before I could even speak. The father figure in my life, my grandfather died when I was in the 6th grade. I am still curently with my son's father, but we have had our problems. When I go to school I see many kids in my grade driving. I will never be able to get a car, and I need one to get to college. But, getting a car is'nt my biggest problem, paying for my college is the problem. I know I have to stay close to home so my family will be able to help me with my son.Going to college is so important to me because I want to be able to provide a wonderful life for my son, independently. PLEASE help me Tyra! It would mean the world to me and my family!

P.S. Love the show and Americas next top model and love you. You are so beautiful and inspiring to girls everywhere.

Hi Tyra,
I've always wanted to go back to school and get my G.E.D. and take up nursing that was my dream as a child, but I have alot of things that have prevented me from my goal. When I was young I made the wrong decision and stop going to school. I can't turn back time but if you could help me make that dream a reality. I'll be that one person to know that if you dream big and it is in your heart you can do it.

Hi Tyra,

Now I'm drawing everday and seeing you is giving more ideas. Everyday on your show, you look so fly and pretty in your designer clothes. I really want get tickets to your show for my B- day in October. Hopfully I will.

Hi Tyra!

I never thought I'd be writing you! It feels like I've finally come to this. I have a lot of acne scars- so many that even though my acne has finally subdued, I still have major insecurities. I've tried well over $500 in foundations to cover these scars, but nothing has worked out right. I often find myself avoiding certain shirts and dresses because my scars are all over my chest, back, and shoulders. I'm even to the point that I'm skipping out on prom because of these. They're ruining me! :(

HI TYRA!!!!
Something I have always wanted to do is have a mother/daughter makeover! Me and my mom are tall and beautiful but struggle in the beauty and fashion areas. I would love to have me and my amazing mom come on your show and get make-overs and maybe do a little shopping! I want to give back to my mom so much but can't afford to do anything for her that she deserves! Please help me Tyra!!!

I dont know what to do anymore. I pray everyday for my life to just get a little better. It just never seems to happen. Im losing hope right now i really dont think anything could possibly get better for me. Please help me Tyra all i want is the wedding of my dreams and its really not that expensive i just cant afford anything like that right now i have to buy things for my children first. PLEASE TYRA HELP ME!! even if its just some kind of advice i would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi. Ms. banks. Sending much luv your way, you are doing your thing. But my ultimate dream is to meet the king of R&B R. Kelly. I get so uplifted when I hear his voice. His music has brought me through some rough times. The death of my daughter's dad, took a toll on me and I found me listen to R. Kelly day and night. His voice soothes me. I recently had a baby Mar 10th 2008 and he was the only one in delivery room with me. I take him everywhere I go and my family and friends clown me cause they say that I go over board. And not to mention he is so sexy. He has worked with some of the biggest people in the industry, (michael jackson, ronald isley, Alliyah-RIP- Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Kirk Franklin all of these and ETC ETC. I know you can hook me up with this. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Hello Tyra!
I have always wanted to be a model but I have one slight problem. I now have a beautiful 4 month old baby boy but now I have these HORRIBLE streatch marks. I have lost all the baby weight (and then some) and I feel better than ever! I am in the best shap of my life. But I have been turned down by so many agencys because of tmy streatch marks. They all told me that I am beautiful they cant believe how good I look and other than my streatch mark you could never tell that I had a child, and that if it wasnt for the streatch marks on my belly that I would be booked. I just dont know what to do! I really dont have the money to get any type of laser removal and I have tried every cream and loatin that there is! What do you suggest that I do? Should I just give up any throw my life long dream away? PLEASE HELP!

Hey Tyra,
My name is Maibel Cruz, and I am a Kindergarten Teacher at St. MIchael School, in Newark, New Jersy. I am writing to you because I have a dream. I teach at a school that has over 550 students. These kids are amazing. Every year they raise over $6,000 to help less fortunate children all aroooound the world. In there annual food drive, they collected over 4,000 cans and non perishable food for the local food bank. They raised about $8,000 dollars to help the the tsunami victims, and another $6,000 to help the devasted families of Hurican Katrine. They have adopted soldiers over seas writing letters, and sending them care packages. My wish, is to make their wish come true. You see very day, I take my children outside to play in this huge parking lot, they laugh, play , and then quietly go inside and continue their studies. I would love to be ablt to give them a real play groung to play. Must of our parents are low income parents, and work very hard to give their children a good education. My wish is not for myself, but for the children. We teach them to give, to care, to open their hearts. It woould be a great way to say thank you. I know they would also love if you came down to visit them. Please help me to make a school wish come true.
