damien_reinhardt@yahoo.com

thank you and i hope you find the time to do it.

I love you tons!
you are such an inspiration to my life.

Hey Tyra,
I watched your show last night and I just wanted to tell you that you handled the party girls very well.
They were all putting on a show because they were on tv and they were getting their five minutes of fame. I thought that they were fake as well. I know because I have seen some party girls in my life and they were not it last night. By the way you know how you said that you like to know some ideas that we have for 911 problems. Well I have an idea. See in my family we are very very healthy ladies. Now I don't know about you but I have a problem that when I walk my thighs clap. Girl I mean a loud clap. And when I am running with my nephew I hear thunder when I run because of my legs rubbing together. Well I found out that if you put powder in between your legs that helps a whole lot.

you should have native americans come on you'r show and ask the stuff about the pow-wows that they have and have them dance for you.
kendra
ps: i like your show

Tyra,
First off I want to say that I Love You! You are my hero, and I would do anything to meet you in person. I did see the show, and I think there is a limit to having to much fun. You can have fun without having to go get drunk, do drugs, or have sex. I am only 16, and I have so much fun all the time, and I have never done drugs, got drunk, or needed to have sex to do that. I just watch your show everyday and that is the highlight of my day. I have fun watching you have fun on your show everyday. I just saw the shoe with you and Janet and all of the fun things that you done with her, and I was like i would give anything to have a day Tyra Banks, it has been my dream and always will be. Man I would die to meet you and talk to you for 5 min. cuase then I could die happy cuase I got to meet Tyra Banks.

Once again I love you Tyra and I watch your show everyday.

Tyra i'm also havin trouble gettin mail from you. I have tryed like twice to sign up but i have never gotten nething back from you. If you can try emaillin me pleasssse!!!!

Dear Tyra,

I missed the show on party girls but I am quite sure it was very good. Your shows are all very motivating and empowering. It seems like you always know the right thing to say to make someone feel better, and you have very clear explanations and you ask questions from all angles.

I am writing to let you know that I love how upfront and open you are. When I read that you were hesitant about your decision to do the sonogram (is that what it's called? i forget..), I just wanted to let you know my opinion that you made a good decision. You confronted the issue, you used what was available to you and you made the best of it. Keep being yourself! I recently figured out what time your show is on every day and I love watching it. I don't watch anything else except the food network and national geographic documentaries. I am now a senior in college so hopefully I'll find a way to keep up with your show during the school year. Maybe by cutting out a few parties (...jk, no time for parties here) =P

Hope all is well!

hi tyra i love you your the bob i will like your help call me and i will explain

Hi Tyra,

It seems I am having a difficult time getting mail from you at my AOL address or you have not written me back yet. This is my third time writing you about the stretch mark product that you spoke about on your show, May 24, 2007, over a week ago. I would still like to know the name and the place I can purchase the product. This time I left you an alternate E-mail address. I hope I hear from you soon. I will greatly appreciate your help Tyra. You have no idea how bad this problem is for me. Please help me.

Hey miss Tyra..!!

I fell like I need to be honest with u so I’ve got to tell u the truth and here it is.. i don't watch ur show cz it's not televised here in Cyprus.. I'm really sry about that and i hope that i could do smth about it..!! Anw my opinion about this episode is that u were 100% right about everything u said and done to show to those girls the right way to have fun..!! I know from personal experience that is hard to have fun and not lose control some times..!! Usually everyone in the party gets carried away by others and acts differently just to be accepted by the group..!! It’s crazy what people r wheeling to do just to be considered as part of the group and be accepted by it..!! I’m really happy that I am who I am and I don’t smoke or drink just to be accepted by my group..!! They have to accept me for my self and not someone else that I pretend to be so that they like me..!! Keep up the good work sweetie and remember that I love u..!!!!! Lots of kisses for now..!!!!! XxXxXxXxX See ya..bye!!

Love,
Raf

I never watch your show, but I do see how Soap Talk makes fun of it. I actually caught one of your shows after the The Bad Girls Club aired last night,6/5. It was so evident through your questions, that you had never watched one of their shows. I was a bit disappointed
because as a interviewer, you should really know beforehand what you will be discussing. It confirmed that I haven't been missing anything by not watching your show. I know you are really busy, but atleast try to act as though you have seen someone's show before inviting them on to yours.

hi tyra...your absolutely fabulous...i really like you...i like your show...take care and godbless..

Hey Tyra,
I dont think you sound preachy. There is a clear difference between having fun and losing control. Like all the celebrities that are having problems with partying and the media etc. but i think most of it is blown out of proportion and the papparazi are just waiting for people like lindsay lohan to mess up. I admire you for doing a show that involves a problem that goes on in everyday society. Im from the UK and the partying issues that go on in America are bascially the same over here. I think that party people are just trying to hide their issues and they just party to push their troubles aside.
Your show is amazing and i watch it all the time....

Good luck with everything xx

Your big fan

first of all...Hi tyra...I'm from philippines.
well,the fact that I really do love your personalities,you know I cannot say more about party girls because, I really don't know what kind of life they have,you know for me,it's hard for me,for being a teenager and cannot go out with my friend because I had a very strict parents,so I cannot go out and have some party with them. I mostly spend my time to my studies and after school just go home.
you know. But I think that its a good a little bit, because if my parents are not very strict I think my life now is no valueable just a miserable. that's why I love my parents and I do understand them for being a strict for me.
And to the party girls out there,I can say also that you're so blessed because you can do whatever you want and you can spend time for your self. but it also scary a bit because you know you are always in a (what do you called this?)
in a noisy place..

I think party girls are had a problem for family,friends,relationship and everything I think they are not continted of their lives.

I didn't see that episode but I did see the one with the 14 year old girls drinking in their basement with the parents upstairs. I have to say that I like how you let all the adults watching realize how easy it is for teenagers to get away with things like drinking sex partying and drugs. I think you should have brought girls/women who have gone through it [like Fergie with the meth addiction thing] and show how nothing good can come of drugs and things except a temporary satisfaction.

Anyway Tyra, besides the fact that I LOVEE YOU!! Do NOT miss one of ur shows (seriously) even if they are reruns!! Bad Girls club show was awesome! I must say you get better and better each show. You kept it real as you always do. You brought the truth out and you put the cards on the table...it was perfect!

Much Love and success,

Mari

Hey Tyra...Well it is extremely late right now where I am but... I am watching some of the bad girls club right now... and I am the type of girl that cannot stand drama... I try hard to get along with everyone... which never works no matter how hard I try and it is always between me and other girls... of course being in high school it is typical for me to have this problem... but what I don't understand is why people would want to put girls fighting on TV... to me it is kind of strange... thats the best word I can think of to discribe it... If you have any advise about how to get away from the drama at school i would love to hear it... bye Tyra!!!

Tyra, I apologize but I am in complete SHOCK!But this girl has to be told off and i DOUBT you will scoop to the level..I must make an exception though! So, let me!

Reply for Post written by Melanie: Ty and Aimee

I am surprised noone has stepped up and said something to put you in your place. How dare you come in here to disrespect Tyra, but not only disrespect but also insult in such a racist, immature, and ignorant way! I am a firm believer that everyone is entitled to their opinion, when in that opinion, they respect and do not minimize the value of another persons character.
Tyra, is not some mediocre, washed up model. A show that airs at night?! Something that she SHOULDN'T be proud of?? I live in FL and to inform you of something..she not only airs during the afternoon but she airs TWO more times in the evening, not to mention in 2 different stations and that's just in this part of the state!! 6 Emmy nominations! With another "little" show called "America's Next Top Model." So, you see, unlike some mediocre, hater like YOU.this woman is impacting lives, my life being one, in a way you couldn't even imagine. Causes changes and makes a difference.Leaving an imprint inthe hearts of each life she comes across, direct or indirectly!! Get a life!! This here sweety is a NO HATERS ZONE..in case you are assuming or wondering..I am not another stereotype "black girl"..I am a 21 yr old LATIN AMERICAN,young lady.

hey tyra~

i totally agree with you. i mean i know im kidna young to realy be in this (15),, but i know girls who do party and stuff,, its just not cool. You don't sound preachy at all,, these party girls should be happy that at least somebody is watching there back. Im so glad you feel this way. Usually most celebs and models are like crazy party people. haha
~morgan

Tyra it is no problem for you to be acting like someones mama, because so many girls in this world need a mama figure steping up and saying this is wrong; and even better that its someone in hollywood. All the 'normal' girls are seeing these wild crazy party girls with the glamorous life. they dont see the effects it has on ones life. I was in that scean for three or four short months and my life was totaly turned upside down, financially and socially. Im getting out of that scean currently but i learned the hard and its sooo hard!. I learned that it is not all the fun its cracked up to be you think your the same person and your not and everyone notices but you.
- Its a horrible place to get stuck in and hard to get out of. When you leave you lose a lot of friends and you have nothing to do on the nights where you'd be out. I'd really like to see you some how show people how to get out of the life style because that is where the struggle really begins (i think at least)because you are getting pulled in so many ways from people who want you to go out, those wanting you to be a 'good girl'. Then you have what you want and knowing what you want isnt healthy. -and finally i just think it is awsome that a celebrity is finally stepping up and saying this is wrong and is commited to helping people and is truely worried about our youth

Wow! Tyra, I am reluctant to say this, but to tonight was actually the first time I have ever sat down and watched your show, and let me tell you, I was quite impressed!! I am now a Tyra Show addict!!! The things you do to help people is amazing and I think you are such a wonderful and kind hearted person!! I myself have a Beauty 911 problem, but there are so many more people out there that probably need your help much more that I, so I will not bother you with my problems,I know you will do so much for so many people and that alone is enough to touch my heart! thankyou so much for doing the things you do, I dont know if you realize it really, but you have helped me alone want to be a better person! And that is just from one show!!! God Bless you Tyra!
your newest fan,
Jennifer

Hey Tyra! Im 15 and i see girls like this all the time at my high school here in Texas. Over all i thought the show was great! But i think you should have gone over the dangers of acting out in a violent way. I think that one day, those girls will lash out towards someone that wont back down. Not only are the girls putting themselves in physical danger, they could also find themselves in a legal perdicament. I also believe these girls think they are invensable, and unfortunately it may take them a hard kick-in-the-butt.(so to speak) But i love the fact that you fight against the wind, and you arent like the many women we see in Hollywood today. Thank you for being such a great rolemodel to me, and the many more young women to come.

Hi Tyra,
This website is great!!I watch your show every chance I get. You always mention your site but I'm not one to be so compelled by TV programs that I go to thier websites. Your show is refreshing and helpful to alot of people worldwide,but most importantly to your guest on the show and I'm sure thier families as well.....I would also just like to mention the Dr.(shrink)on tonights show impressed me alot! He is amazing at putting things into perspective. I hope that the two of you will continue to work together.
I wish you much success!
-Sarah

hey tyra i think what u r doing about the whole party girl thing is good, but i think that it is still not enough. well im talking about the whole lindsay, paris, nicole thing, like going to rehab to try to get away with out going to jail, or paris whining that she got a harsh punishment i mean r u kidding me that is the least she deserved, and nicole with the whole ur not invited to my memorial day party if u weigh more than 100 pounds. i think that there needs to be some one with a big name like u to call them out (like on ur show, just a thought) and tell them what they are doing is horrible and are not just affecting there lives but also the people (alot of them little girls) seeing them as role models seeing them going out every night parting till they pass out or doing drugs and alot of thos people want to be just like them when they are older. those party girls are such bad role models and i want there to be a powerfull positive role modle it seems that they(lindsay, paris, nicole) dont have anyone in there lives to tell them what they are doing is wrong, and i think someone like you who is smart and well respected like you can be that one person who would be perfect for that voice of reason

Hi tyra
My name is Vanessa And i'm writting to you because i really need your help...........I am 16 year old and i am a parent to a beautiful baby girl.I see your show everyday and i see how you give great advice. Now I need your Help!!!! Me and My baby's Father Are having alot of problem sence the baby was born(9 months ago)And I don't Known what to do. All I do is cry and think. I feel like i'm going Crazy. The problem that were having is the jealousy. I was never the jealous type until he cheated on me not once not twice but almost 10 time. This happend the first year we started dateing.Then for 2 years he stop cheating well' not that i know.
Recently we broke up because he told me he was going to his cousin house and i caught him with his old sex partner. I didn't see them doing anything but it was still wrong in my point of view.These past couple of days that we have not been together I found out that he has been sleeping over her house and been calling her all day.

so tyra please help me...
You can E-mail me at LILDREAMYPRINCESSA@yahoo.com
Love you Tyra
sincerely Vanessa

Well Tyra if you have to preach and be our mama there is nothing wrong with that. I think you did well on the show... I am still thinking about what you could have done differently so I will let you know about that later. However I agree 100% there is a big difference between having fun and losing control. I am addicted to dancing and that is the only thing I am addicted to in life. I don’t smoke and I don’t drink even so I go to parties a lot. I am a dancer and that is the only reason why I go to parties yes to dance and have fun. I am 20 years old and a full time student at the University of Connecticut...I live on campus and so I know about all the parties. I think spring break is a time when people lose control and that's not fun for me. If there is a party about drinking only I don’t go...yes Tyra during spring break student come together just to drink and drink and drink...that I never get because there is no music nothing but alcohol and that is not fun for me...that is loosing control because harm can come from all that drinking and as you said before one step away from losing your life.

Hey Tyra,

WTG for stopping 2 of your shows to show the audience how those girls were just trying to use your show as way to get their undeserved 2 minutes of fame! What a bunch of fakes! You got em girl! I bet now they will think twice before they try to screw someone else over.. all eyes are on them, and you gave them what the truly and honestly deserve! I'd like to personally tell all 5 of them how much I would love to stick them back in the 40's where dad was allowed a stick! Some serious discipline is in need and for all who are reading this, stay away from these girls! They are bad news not BAD GIRLS!
thanks tyra for letting me post... love ya

Tyra,
I'm a reformed bad girl, I personaly think I'm very lucky that me and my friends are alive today after the stuff we did.
I went threw this stage of when I felt uncomfortable at a new place I would have to act up or make people think they better not ever get on my bad side.
Me and my friends would drive up an off ramp on a free way just to see how far we could get. I jumped in frount of a girls car just to stop her so my friend whose husband she cheeted with could yell at her. I would drive around with friends in the mountains in the mud drunk off our asses and get into little wrecks. the list goes on and on.
But at last I just wanted to say that people can change and they can become a better person. I have been reformed and am a very happy person now, and hope the same could happen to everyone else.

Hi Tyra! I just want to reply about your show on bad girls. One of the girls said "oh nice girls never get attention or are talked about". I am for a fact a nice girl, and people do talk about me, but not because I'm mean or rude, they talk about me because I want o make a difference. I'm not saying I don't have those occasional bitchy days, but generally I like to be nice to people. I'm class president and I was prom queen, and I did not get there because I was mean. People don't like mean girls, I personally find it revolting. It means so much more to be talked about because of the things you've done or the nice way you treat someone, not how bitchy you were or how you beat up that girl. Bitchy, bad girls do not win. Also, being a "bad girl" to get attention is probably the most counteractive thing you can do. Guys don't like bad girls, they may like you for a day, but is that all bad girls want, a one night stand? And if a guy does want a bad girl, I don't think that the kind of guy you should be with. I felt so passionately about this, I had to run onto the internet right after I heard that girl say that. Niceness always wins

ANOREXIC,BULEMIC,AND SUICIDEL. Dear Tyra i have been all of the above and so have some of my friends.My parents do not know but personally i do not care . I dont feel like my mom doesnt care i exist and my real father is dead and i dont think my step dad wants me. I think he wants me gone like my sister. My sister was kicked out of the house on febuary 14 2007 at around 2:00 am in the morning. But my real point for writting this is cause i think you should do an episode on teens not knowing if there wanted. Teens who are suicidel, anorexic, bulemic, and slowly killing themselves without knowing it.I know many teenagers at my school who have the same problems that i have. I would also like to say to all teens out there that i still have all these problems and i dont know how to get out of it either it is like im adicted to it i cut myself and i have 125 cuts and i dont eat and when i do i throw it back up.I need help and i know i will eventually kill myself and that others will to, so i think this episode would help many teens out there and show them the way out.

Hey Tara I saw your Party Girls show and I found it so typical like it was cool how you had different "bad girls" and their stories but its just another sterotype that these girls filled. Me being a "bad girl" I know its not fun. I was hurt too many times by no good guys over and over again but I dont blame my past and my skeletons for my actions of being a "bad girl" but what I am trying to say is that sometimes its not their parents its not their up bringing its what they want to do. I know that my parents dont know anything about what I do and the danger that I sometimes put myself in but thats only because when you are a "bad girl" you learn to lie really well because true "bad girls" dont trust anyone and therefore they must lie to everyone. But some "bad girls" dont hide from their problems behind the drugs or the alcholo or the sex or the parties or even the fights they are crying out for help. I dont know if you saw the epiosde of the bad girls club that had one of the girls who started cutting her wrist but she was crying out for help and deep down inside most "bad girls" are crying out for help.

I dont feel like my mom doesnt care i exist and my real father is dead and i dont think my step dad wants me. I think he wants me gone like my sister. My sister was kicked out of the house on febuary 14 2007 at around 2:00 am in the morning. But my real point for writting this is cause i think you should do an episode on teens not knowing if there wanted. Teens who are suicidel, anorexic, bulemic, and slowly killing themselves without knowing it.I know many teenagers at my school who have the same problems that i have. I would also like to say to all teens out there that i still have all these problems and i dont know how to get out of it either it is like im adicted to it i cut myself and i dont eat and when i do i throw it back up.I need help and i know i will eventually kill myself and that others will to, so i think this episode would help many teens out there and show them the way out.

Hey Tyra,
I watch your show almost every night. I just want to say that on the night with the bad girls, the one girl that was 15 said something about how it was her mothers fault that she does drugs and has sex a lot just because when she was younger her mom said she found her in a trash can. I have to say my dad said the same story to me and I have 3 older brothers and they all went along with it and yeah the 1st couple time i believed it and i cried to my mom about it but that never forced me to have sex, drink and do drugs. I dont think its right for her to blame it all on her mother, she has a mind of her own.

I watched tonight's episode about the Bad Girl's Club. I thought it was very unprofessional how you provoked the argument between Ty and Aimee. I think it was another chance to give the "black girl" more air time. When you came back from commercial you made a point to continue the discussion. In fact, you also made sure to discuss it one more time before ending their portion of the segment. I would not have thought that black women were ignorant as Aimee said until I watched how Ty continued to steal air time to whine like a typical black girl making everything about race. You, Tyra...fell right into that trap making you and Ty fit that same stereotype. I give Aimee props for remaining cool and standing her ground as she was being cornered by you and Ty. Just shows to the world again how "black women" act. I would suggest that for the next episodes that you have, do not joint into the arguments. Remember, you are a washed up model that as a TV show that airs at night. Not something I would be proud of. =)

Hey Tyra! I know this is all about your Thought On Party Grils, but I would like to tell you if you have any tips for my 15's, next year. Well hope you have any tips.

LOVE U, Melissa Tapia

LOVE U, Melissa Tapia

Hey Tyra,
I am so Glad you did that show on Party Girl life. But now that I think of it Boys To have self esteem issues or want to be party boys too. They can get themselves in trouble too. So just an idea you can do a show for boys maybe next time. Any way I think you did a great job on that show and unlike what Garry said about you being to nice to the girl I think you did fine. Thats HIS job to give the tough love! lol Your more the comforter type thought some times you give tough love too but that wasnt the time for it I dont think. I think they learned the lesson. And I am really shocked but GLAD that your parents raised you right. And i agree with you alcohol is nasty special beer THAT STUFF is a kick YUCK! (I tasted moms oddule or how ever you spell that either way verry little alcohol in it but it was still nasty!)Ok enough about me the show was great and i hope you do many more liek it and teach so many other girls! (and boys....)

Love you Tyra!!!!

Love,
Esther (Age 17)

I think you addressed the girls very well. You asked if there was anything you could have done better,ummmmm I don't honestly think there is. The only thing you can do is try and make them realize the things that could happen. Maybe you could have "invited them to a cleb party",and have those scary sureal events happen to them that were trying to get into there heads. Like stage a fake rape or reck at the party, u know. So many girls/ guys go on thinking "that could nere happen to me" when in all actuality it proly will happen if they keep on going on the path there going. Keep up the tremendous work.
love a 16 year old girl

i am a huge fan of u

hey tyra..i watch your show every morning and i have to say you are doing a good job...well i watched your show on "it girls" and in my opinion you dont have to drink or do bad stuff to fit in i guess i can say in my high school years i had alot of friends and i never drank i am 21 years old and i DONT drink to fit in thank god i have some good friends that understand the word NO and they dont pressure me to do anything i dont want to do and i feel good because when we go out i am always the driver no matter what,my point is that you dont have to drink or do drugs to have fun i go out and dance my butt off and people think im drunk!! but its better because you get to make fun of the people that are acting stupid because their drunk.

Dear Tyra,
Hi my name is Toni L. , I am 22 years old and I am from Pueblo Colorado. I am writing to you to see if you would be interested in assisting with any type of means in the TEEN-MAZE activity which is sponsored by The Pueblo Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking and Drugging, and the Pueblo Alliance for Healthy Teens.
The TEEN-MAZE is an activity geared for teens ages 15-19. The TEEN-MAZE is designed so teens can be presented with choices they encounter in their everyday lives and learn what the realistic consequences of their choices may be good or bad. It is going to be hands on, realistic, educational, and a fun way of examining the consequences of life’s choices.The TEEN-MAZE is a wonderful opportunity for youth to participate because the issues that will be presented are not fully addressed in their schools/ homes.The TEEN-MAZE project is not meant to replace the role of parents- just provide factual information to youth.It will be open to all high school students free of charge. Teens will enter the maze and proceed through various paths that are presented to them with choices and consequences.
I watched your show about the secret lives of party girls, and also the show about peer presure and popularity. Its great to see such positive role models like yourself addressing such topics as those.
We would greatly appreciate any type of donation or your appearance.We feel you are a very positive role model and we are aware of the great advocate you are for youths. I appreciate your time reading this as I am aware of how busy you are, and I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Toni L.

Tyra,
remenber when you had that show about party animals! and you said that you wish someone would walk on stage and tell you that they have lost someone for drinking or is someone injured or something. Wel im here i lost 2 people i loved them dearly,
i miss them dearly.
i lost the only father figure i had to cancer because of drinking and getting drunk every night. i lost my uncle as a victum to a drunk driver in a big truck with him in a small car!! It hurts so much to lose these people im only 16 i just turned 16 and it was without my dad!! i love him so much!! I lost him december 23,2006
and i lost my uncle about 4 years ago because he was coming home from a gig and this truck was backing out from a bar and you know what IT WAS ON MOTHERS DAY. HE DIED ON MOTHERS DAY!!!
It hurt my grandma so bad!! the last words from him were to her an hour before he died was i love you mom HIS LAST WORDS!! but ever since my dad past it effected how i think, im 16 and i sleep with my mom still and to top it all off my step sister the best lil sis in the world got tookin from my mom and my lil brother to go back to her moms and my sister didnt want to go AND NOW I CAN'T SEE HER AT ALL!!! i miss my old life!! Tyra i have so much to say that is on my mind that its unreal!! And i have no other way to say it, i have no other way!!!
But i just wanted to share that with you and maybe one day share it with the world to send out the message that its not good at all when you lose a loved one to alchool or to kill someone because of alchool. It hurts so bad all the pain i feel thats build inside and i have no way to put it out!!!! GOSH i need help, my family needs to talk but we are close but we dont talk about the whole thing with my dad and all but yea so well talk to ya later

You do not need my phone number for any reason so I am no including it. Why are we even talking about party girls. They contribute little if anything to society, but somehow I know their names and not the names of people who spend their lives doing good things.

Party Girls I think who party. A lot has as a lot of things that they don't Want to deal With that is happing.In there lives or they just were not allowed to do much like go to a party.Now that they are adults. the just go crazy with going to partys just to have fun.

hey tyra, i kinda feel like you wont read this anyway but i am bored and feel like writing to you thinking that some day you might b/c you truely are a person that i admire and respect. I record all of your shows so that i can watch them whenever i want to and how often i want to. i saw the party girls episode that you had and it was kinda shameful to me b/c that isnt just those girls that act likt that. I think that it is 80% of girls in the 20's that act like that. Not to that extreme but they do det drunk and party a lot. I am one of those girls who like to party and drink and "have more confidence" when i am drunk. I have really low self-esteem until i have drinks. I am not sure for that reasoning but it's true. My parents own a bar/restaurant/driving range for golfers and they have owned it for almost 10 years now. My dad wanted it to be a family business so me, my sister and my brother all started working here i was 12 at the time so i just did dishes and cut grass and small stuff that i could do at that age. I am the youngest of my siblings. Now i am 22 years old and i am still working here as a bartender, but i know how to do everything and anything with this business. I am not happy with my life and the direction that i am taking b/c i work everynight almost. from 6pm till 230am. I got way to envoloved in the drinking aspect of it and i find myself with no where else to go or do w/ my life b/c this is all that i know. I tried the school thing 3 times but i dont know what i want to do and i never give school all my effort b/c i dont wanna be there. I see myself wanting to hang out with friends that have the same interests as me, like drinking and partying and staying out till 6 am and sleeping all day and then going to work at night till 230am and it is the same thing everynight. It is getting so old for me but i just have a hard time trying to get out of this life when this is all i ever did was work in this business. I dont wanna end up like my parents they are wealthy people but both have health issues b/c of stress and drinking to much when they were my age like i am doing now. i dont wanna go down that path and i know only i can fix that but i just dont know what to do anymore. I could someday take this business over but i see what it has done to my parents and our family. My sister has a big drinking problem and i get so discusted with her, i look at her i wanna help her but dont know how to do that either. well i am sure that i could go on forever with all the issues that i wanna talk about but i wont.I know all it takes is hard work and dedication to fix my issues and my life b/c i look at you, someone who worked so hard and went through so much pain and suffering herself and you delt with it. i'll figure it all out someday. lyl tyra ~amanda

Hey Tyra!
First off i just want to tell you how much i really love your show! It truley is the best, i record every episode everyday. Besides that, i recently saw this epsidoe. Me myself, i have a problem with parties. Normally on weekends i stay home, becuase im only 15, so theres barely anywhere to go. So my best friend takes me with her to house parties, where theres underage drinking, and smoking. Sometimes people are having sex in the basement or upstairs. My problem is, is that my friends are beauitful, and ive heard so many times that im sexy, i just dont feel it. SO to feel that way, and to, i guess prove myself, i do things for guys. Things that they would want me to do. Smoke, have sex, drink. Whatever they name. I havent caught anything, or been pregnant, it just seems like an addiction. There are times when i meet a guy for the first time, and we just go and have sex, in that house party, or his house, sometimes even there car. I dont know, nobody knows this. I dont necessarily think i have a problem, but i know its wrong, but it just makes me feel good about myself.
Help!

Hi Tyra
Well I have recently watched the "It Girl" show and I could definetly tell how upset you became with these girls. I thought that they did not want to seem superficial, but there superficiality was extreme. Well it touches me to know that these kind of (fake) people bother you also. It seemed that the "IT" girls thought that nothing could take the joy they pertain away, well they are wrong... everything could be taken away at any given minute (I hope they understand that). It was rude of them to not just accept the advice that was trying to be given to them, instead they automatically put their gaurds up and began to argue. I believe that their behavior showed that they are not absolutely content with their lives because they felt they had to prove they are happy(and explain how their friendship is not fake). How do you learn about someone when intoxicated- not saying they drink all the time, but how can one learn about someone when they are around alcohol, drugs, and loud music(most likely when they aren't around these distractions they are probably gossiping or boasting about themselves). The most important thing about a productive and prosperous life is being able to help others.

so, party girls, i've seen a lot of movies on life time, you know? on a serious not though..
*************************
i've always wanted that hydrenilyn rush but then i thought, theres other more important things in life like family and friends. sure you can party once in a while, special ocassions, but dont take it to the extreme. Take up a yoga class, kick boxing, pottery, whatever you like. If its an emotional problem,partying doesnt help, drinking or anything is just self destructive. talk to someone you care about, venting always helps, shurly, they can help you. love yourself, take care of yourself. only then will you be able to learn how to love and care for others which can be one of the greatest things in life.

p.s. as for the comment about the 7th graders.. pregnancy aint nuthin to be braggin about! lemme hear them go tell that to their mammas.. yea right!.. shannon, dont get urself worked up over their comments. their most likly not even true. Even if they are.. who wants to be pregnant at.. what.. 12 yrs old?! Its like.. children having children..girls your not helping but hurting your reputation.. please.. grow up.

i've always wanted that hydrenelin rush but then i figured, im happy w/ my life and theres other more important things in life to enjoy like family and friends. Sure party once in a while, special occasions but dont go overboard now. take up a yoga class, kick boxing or whatever you like. If its an emotional problem, partying wont help, drinking or anything is just self destructive. talk to someone u care about, venting always makes u feel better, shurley that person can help you. ...rebuild your life in a helathy way. love yourself, take care of your self, then you'll learn to love and care for others which can be one of the greatest things in life.

p.s. as for the comment posted below about 2 seventh graders bragging about pregnancy.. lemme tell u it aint nothin to be braggin about and lemme hear them go tellin that to their mammas.. yea rite.. as for shannon.. girl dont listen to them they just cookin up a hot mess. who would want to be pregnant at what 12 yrs old?! girls, please grow up:)

i totally think tht sum partying is ok but some girls take it too far!!! there are 2 girls in my grade (7th) that were bragging about having to get pregnancy tests. 7TH GRADE!!!!

Women who drink and party all the time have nave no ambitions in life and they are cowards for not growing up.

First of all, I would like to say that your show has helped me out a lot- helped to see that I can do a lot of things as long as I try. See I'm a 20 year old mother of two sweet little girls that I love with everything. But sometimes it's hard. Sometimes I feel like I can't do it. It's hard to take care of two girls when there is only one of me-Its hard. But when I look at there little faces, I see that they need me. And I know that I could never leave them like their dad did. Well, what I'm getting at is that your show has helped me see that there are girls out there like me. Thank you. I look up to you and one day me and my girls will have a better life. Thank you
-Misty

PS: Keep up the good work

Hey Tyra,
One I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my self esteem. I've been one of those girls who was made fun for not being the "pretty one." My teeth are buck and I still wake up everyday to do what i have to do. I'm not where I want to be but...one day... Anyways before I bore you with another sad story that you already heard. I'm a bartender. Seeing party girls are scary to me because i don't know what could happen to them.I mean shot after shot after shot...I'm not sure if alcohol poisoning happens to be in the stars for them. I'm friends with alot of them too and it just makes me wonder if they think what they are doing is right. I feel that most women don't know what they have until they lose/lost it. Most "pretty girls" I see are the ones who party the hardest and they dont care until something unfortunate happens. Well I don't want to write a book.

Hey Tyra!! I am a 17 year old senior, and I don't have a drinking and party problem, but I am strongly against drinking and I think that teens should not party a lot because life holds so much more for us then parties and drinking. I dont despise them, but that's one reason why I am going to become a teacher to make a difference in kids lives and to tell them that the world holds a lot for them, they just have to strive to it. Also, I am going to be sure to them teach them of the dangers and harm that drinking, smoking, and partying cause. I just wanted to post this so that other readers could understand where I am coming from, and maybe they can me make a difference. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

PS: Also could you start something where you give out scholorships for seniors or something to help with college funds?

wow! this episode was amazing! great job tyra! even though these girls were stubborn about it, it really touched me. three months ago two of my friends died, angela and priscilla. they were 18 years old. they were driving home from a party. they were not intoxicated, but they were extremely tired after the party and got into a really bad car accident on the freeway.

you said that you wished that you can have actual parents who lossed their children from partying, and immediately i thought of angie and cilla!

i comment your efforts greatly.

thank you.

As a teacher and a mother, I was horrified to hear about the parents condoning a party in their basement where alcohol was served. We live in a different time then when we were growing up. Parents can now be SUED for allowing a party with alcohol and minors! I wish parents would grow up, accept responsibility and PARENT! That excuse of,"well, I know they are going to do it anyway so I'll have them do it on my watch." That's a load of crap- its a cop-out and a sign of laziness. Parents need to step up. Kids are NOT going to do it anyway, parents can instill a sense of responisbility and empowerment in their children to say NO at parties and maintain their social status. As a person who has been to their fair share of parties, I can tell you that being the "sober one" is not so bad. The drunks WILL NOT remember, or really care. My parents PARENTED me and my brother. I enjoyed my teenage years with sports, parties and many social activities, and I remember it ALL. I partied in college and later, and still do- in moderation and with responsibility. Do I still have hangover days when I can't go far from the bathroom? sure, but I DO NOT drive after having any alcohol and my child does not see me hungover or drinking (more than a glass of wine). I am rambling now, but can you re-visit this topic on your show with more real-life stories of deaths, OD's, rapes, and lawsuits?
thanks!
Peggy

Tyra:
I watched, and still am watching, your show on party girls and it really disturbs me. These girls think that its ok to go out and drink & party everynight or every weekend. I am 20 years old and recently just came home from a college known as one of the party colleges in Texas. Yes I went to these parties no I did not drink. I was ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the DD (ddesignated driver). It would tear me up inside to see these girls drink alcohol like it was water. As days went by I saw people drop out of college just because of drinking. I know a few people that are now alcoholics because of what happend their freshman year.
Thank you for doing this show. I would possibly do a show about fraternities and about males drinking and parting. GREAT SHOW!

i think that the show was good but one thing u could of did was have a group of girls that do party but dont get out of control to show the girls that do get out of control that there is a way to have fun and still be safe

Hey Tyra,
I don't think you could have don't much more. to be honest party girls are not gonna stop over night. i have had plenty of friends that were big into party's and bad stuff has happened and that keep on drinkin and doing drugs. i come from a really small town and in the past year and a half probably over 5 people have died from drug use and a few hurt from it and People i know keep doing drugs despite the people dieing!

Hi Tyra, I was so pleased to see that someone finally posted what it really looks like to be a "party girl." I will be the first to admit that I was no different than any girl that you had on that stage. I was honestly worse. When I was 18, I would go to the bars in town and get totally wasted and drive home. I worked in a bar as a bartender for a while and would make tons of tips dancing on the bar and wearing cute little "clothes" just to get tips so I could go out and buy more alcohol. As fun as all that was, it was stupid and dangerous. It took me being drugged and raped before I learned this lesson. I am really happy to see that someone out there cares about what happens to girls who live this dangerous lifestyle, because that is what it is. I hope that girls watched that and didn't think that it won't happen to them because your closest friend. That is why they call it date rape. Thank you so much for caring enough to be the "bad guy" in situations like this.

I feel that you should have more of girl partys.it is good that you have more of thouths partys so that girls can learn more about there selfs.

Hi Tyra -

I'm a big fan of your show and refer to it often in class. I just finished watching the "Party Girls" show (as a rerun) and I felt completely bowled over. It wasn't the subject matter that disturbed me, but how these girls' denial looked so familiar. I'm a graduate TA and am required to teach two courses a semester, mostly to freshmen. Though I love teaching and trying to help my students become independent and critical thinkers, I am so deeply saddened by their behavior (and its effects) outside of the classroom. My students start out energetic and excited; most of them, by the last week of class, are haggard, exhausted, and producing subpar work (if any at all). Most of this is due to the extremely prevalent party atmosphere on my university. My underage students come here and get so wrapped up in heavy binge drinking and wild parties that some of theme barely make it through the first semester. When I asked what the biggest deterrent to their writing was this semester, one student said, "Drink specials!" And then all my students agreed.

Your tough take on those party girls really helped reinforce the idea that a strong, yet compassionate stand is the right way to go. Also, some of my worst abusers are my MALE students and it seems like party "boys" are more acceptable. They never get labeled, but are instead encouraged.

So, please keep up the good work and really push the issue of personal responsibility hard. Also, a show specifically on drinking on American campuses would be great - I think it would definitely open your and your producers' eyes to a rampant problem.

Hey Tyra! I love your show you are such a positive influence on young girls. Being 27 I can tell you that the lifestyle of a party girl is a mask for low self esteem many times. I have seen so many friends hurt themselves and get lost while drunk. The girls are beautiful but they are clueless. Maybe seeing how stupid they look on T.V. they will wake up and realize. Their looks alone should be a reason they need to be careful. Men target women who are drunk. It is so easy to put something in their drink. Thanks for what you do Tyra it has made me realize that it needs to be taken more seriously.

OMG tyra. i just watched this episode on my tivo (sidenote: i have my tivo set to tape your show whenever it comes on any channel lol) and i have to say this epsiode moved me the most. it just made me sooooo upset that these beautiful girls would just throw away their lives by getting wasted every night. and their only explanation to their behavior was that "we're only having fun" well im 16 years old and i have plenty of friends that do what those girls do and i have plenty of opportunites to go out and get drunk and have sex randomly. but i dont because it's good principles and morals. it also keeps people from talking about you. i think you and dr.... oh man i forgot his name (sorry) were very right in your approach to the girls. i just want to thank you so much for having this show. hopefully it did open eyes. and i hope veronica and all her friends will figure out they are wrong one day.

hey Tyra! I just watched the show a couple of days ago and i thought those girls wer'nt that bad. I know many girls way way younger that are 50 times worse they might be bad according to hollywood terms, but at leat they arent doing harcore drugs. they are just clubbing and not at some random place by themselves. they have eachother and they could be doing way worse. they are young and having fun. i didnt think it was at all bad and i know a lot of people talking about how bad they were have had thier moments too.

I just recently saw the show on party girls, while the show could have been an important topic, I felt the wrong approach was taken to try and counsel the girls. Speaking as someone who used to drink prior to actually being 21 and did a lot of partying, if you really want to make a difference with the young ladies on the show it would've been better if you would have talked to them rather than talk down to them. From the very beginning of the story you talked down to them and their lifestyle, which caused them to become hostile when you brought in Dr. Gary. If you all wanted to actually help the girls the best thing would have been to come to them as adults, but instead things became heated instead. I honestly can relate with the ladies on the first segment of the show, because they were getting verbally attacked whether or not anyone wants to admit or not, and this tends to happen when to talk to older adults and they don't agree with your lifestyle. And you can see this is very apparent, because the lady in the last segment was not talked down to about her partying although she was actually leaving a child every night to go out, but beacuse she was around the same age as everyone else on the stage no spoke down to her. I believe that the show did not accompolish anything but a yelling war on stage.

I know that alot will not like parts of my comments.
I have seen both sides of the fence - not myself, but personally with friends & co-workers that I had gone out with when I was younger......

1) I totally agree with you on the show.
2) I understand you wanted to stress the dangers involved with drinking.
3) I disagreed with some of the tactics used to try & enlighten them.

I did feel the best part of the show was when the internist showed what can happen to the bodies internal organs.
I feel he didn't STRESS that over the years...the effects of excessive drinking can make a person look anywhere between 20-40 years older. Cirrosis does kill, its a slow death and effects every part of the body.

NO body part is not effected by drinking or doing drugs.

I also felt one thing that should have been stressed is:
How can they say they are taking care of each other if every single one of them gets drunk when they go out nightly.....WHO is there to take care of them if they are all drunk?

This is from my own personal experience, alot my not agree with my parents tactics...but I do and still agree as it taught all of us a valuable lesson in regards to drinking.

When I was 15 years old my oldest sister was 16-17. My parents decided to have a New Years Eve party. They phoned and spoke to all the parents of any teenager being invited to the party. It was explained that everyone would be allowed to drink. No matter their age and there would be no restrictions as to how much they could drink. All parents were invited to come and either chaperon the party or enjoy themselves. To bring sleeping bags and breakfast would be served in the morning. So it was also an over night affair.

I believe that all but one of my friends and her parents declined to attend the same for my older sisters friends. There must have been 50 people at our home that night.

My mothers rule was to anyone that got drunk & sick enough to throw-up, was they have to clean up their mess. Believe it or not out of 20 teenagers, only 2 got drunk enough to get sick. Though I do remember most of my friends talking about they would never drink that much again and I know myself, after that night I never drank more than 2 drinks at a time. That was usually over 3-4 hours also.

Dear Tyra

You were absolutely right on with your comments to the "party girls". In addition to the immediate dangers of such behavior is also the onset of alcoholism. They all probably feel like they can quit anytime and at this point they most likely can....but....flash forward over the next 5, 10, 15 years and somewhere this tricky disease has you by the foothold. I would love to see a follow up show on "40 something" women who started out as party girls and have finally realized the toll it took on their lives. Excessive drinking behavior doesn't reverse it only progresses until it is a problem and unfortunately is only understood in hindsight.

P.S. Love your shows and your heart really shines through and is appreciated by this viewer....you have made me a fan!

Dear Tyra,
I saw your show on party girls. When you talked to the older women with the son I cried, You see my mother was an alcholic,I don't ever remember her not drinking, when my sister and I were younger and she and my dad had divorced she went out alot, and, most of the time we had a babysitter or were with family, after a few years she slowed down on going out but not on the drinking, it only got worse, to the point she was diagnosed with Cirrhosis, and I had to take care of her, I remember taking her to the hospital to have fluid drained off her stomach at one time the Doctor drained 4 gallons of fluid off her stomach, along with Cirrhosis she was diagnosed with Diabetes, when she was diagnised her blood suger was 800, she was lucky to be alive. There was another time when she was bleeding internally so bad that the blood was coming out the pores of her skin,her T cells were down to 7, she was losing blood as fast as they could put it in her, she had to have her spleen removed, her heart stopped on the operating table, she was in ICU for 10 days on a ventalator. She did survive, the Doctors told her if she didn't quit drinking she would die, and because she drank she was not eligable for a transplant, she had a long recovery and she did quit drinking for 5 years, then she got depressed and started drinking again, and again she ended up in the hospital, draining fluid off her stomach again, My children and I were living with her again and again I had to take care of her, I told her that if I was going to take care of her there would be no drinking, and she didn't for about 2 years, Then I had gotten engaged and Mother moved back to her hometown about 2 hours away, I kept pretty good tabs on her, but then after a while she started drinking again and she would hide it from me when I would come visit, and she hid it very well. Until I had family members telling me that she would ask them to come over to throw out her trash before I came to visit. About a year after she moved from my house, I was at work one day and she called me, she was in the hospital again, that was on a Thursday, I took off work and drove 2 hours to check on her, I stayed there 4 days, I went home that Sunday night, she was still in the hospital, but I had to get back to work and my family. She called me on Wednesday the doctors told her she had 2 weeks to live, Her internal organs were shutting down, I took time off work to go take care of her, I was at the hospital everyday, on most days I was there all day, they moved her to another treatment center, I was there everyday, my sister came from out of state and stayed for a week. My sister went home on the next Monday, For the next 2 days I along with my mothers brothers and sister watch my mother die, It was 2 weeks from the day she called and told me the Doctors had given her 2 weeks to live. The doctors said her organs were severly damaged because of the drinking and the life she led. My children (18yrs & 21yrs) have grown up seeing what alchol can do to a person and a family, Those girls think it's fun drinking and partying now
because they are young and don't have any cares, If they had to witness what I had to go through watching my mother die, maybe some of them would think before they drink, or go to the morgue and see a body after a drinking and driving accident. My mother will not see 3 of her grandchildren graduate high school, college, not be a part of their weddings or her great-grandchildrens lives. Drinking and partying is fun for a little while, but in the end it can kill you. I am 41 years old and my mother died a year ago October 5, 2005 at the age of 61, she was too young. Thank You Tyra for letting me tell my story, forgive me if I went on too long.

To whom it may concern,

I just finished watching your show, on the topic about Party girls. I feel you are doing a great job of making young females realize that partying hard could be dangerous. The amount of crime that is committed on young females going out clubbing is suprisingly high. I know this through experience. I am A Police Officer for the Los Angeles Police Department (Hollywood Division). Just recently, I had a rape case were the young female was partying out with some friends and separated. During the separation she was so intoxicated that she got into a strangers car. This stranger beat her and raped her. Lucky for her some residents in the neighborhood heard her screams for help and called the Police. Who knows what would of happened if this guy would have drove off with her.

We ended up responding and arresting him on the spot. Unfortunately we here about these cases more and more in Hollywood.

To make a long story short I just feel that maybe you could of had some guests that have experienced a traumatic experience like this. I know its not easy to get one, but if you do, it would be a reality check for everyone.

Thanks for listening.

I just finished watching your show on this one, and I think it was great. It made me remember this program my school put on for our whole student body and it was called "Every 15 Mins." Its a program of drunk driving, and it was a proven fact that in the 90's every 15 mins. a teen died of drunk driving.
Its a two day program, the first day is a reenactment of a drunk driving accident that takes place in front of our school. The drunk driver was one of our very own football players, the victims were two girls; the one in the passager seat was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver was in critcal condition. The CMT's placed the dead girl in a body bag and they called in Life Flight for the girl in critical condition, who later that day would be pronounced dead. The school put one of the cars in the middle of our quad for everyone to sign, and if you signed it you made a promise to never drink and drive.
The second day was an assembly. We had about 15 people who were called the "Living Dead" and they were students from our school. Our student government took these 15 students and isolated them for the whole night. They couldn't talk to family or friends, all they could do was write a good-bye letter. Which they later read a part of it to the whole school. In the middle of our gym was a coffin, inside the coffin were pictuers of the Living Dead students. We also had two guess speakers, who were mothers a child in a drunk driving incident.
During this whole time our whole gym was quiet, and we have a lot of students!! And we usually aren't that quiet during assemblies. But all you could hear were the sobs of students. I mean even guys were touched by what was being said, everyone thought about what was going on. I remember my friends boyfriend at the time started texting his mom, and he told her "Mom, no matter what happens I just want you to know I love you and I always will." When the assembly ended we all walked out of the gym, but before we did a lot of us placed the flowers the student government gave us at the beginning on top of the pictuers of the living dead in the coffin. And for the rest of the day, all that was being talked about was that assembly and to this day it stuck with most of us.

Hi Tyra,
I just finished watching the re-air of your "Party Girls Show" and Oh my God I was speechless. They actually seem proud of themselve drinking and passing out,its sad, very sad. You did a great job tell them as it is. And I'm sooo proud of you.
I have a suggestion though, I think you should have a follow up SHOW on "Changed Party Girls who have faced issues"

Dear Tyra I think u have the best show ever but this particular show spoke to me in so many ways. I hated the way all of them girls acted on the show. The 1st 6 were rediculous on the tape and all they are doing is trying to get attention and dont know how to be a human w/out alcohol thats y they go out 4 nights a week.Then the girl with the son just plain doesnt care for herself or her son, or neone that she kills while shes out drinking and driving, and whose to say she doesnt or wouldnt take her son w/her in the car while shes been drinking since the drinking and driving doesnt bother her in the 1st place! I think u should have been more harsh with them girls! Im going on 22 and i drink sometimes but i make sure if i go out i control myself and have a safe ride but usually i stay at a house w my friends and we all stay the night and noone drives.Another girl on here said she lived in a small town like i did at 17 and shes right about everyone drinking etc and having to fit in or whatever. Because the way my cousins were in school (in fact 1 is still in jail for having built a meth lab etc in his dads shed)anyways i dont do ne drugs not even weed (bc some people dont consider it a drug).Im glad i dont but i did get into drinking around 17 but nothing to bad, bc my mom is very strict and i never got to go out w my boyfriend(going on 6 yrs now) and our friends and they go out w/out me and i here all these stories and i get mad bc i wznt there, neways at 17 i moved in with him and at first it was cool bc his parents are hippies and let him do whatever and they even would drink w/ me too, but it got old quick and im glad i got the parents i got and not his bc they are losers and in/out of jail etc and they do drugs/deal and live right beside the cops (Tell me that makes since).I just hope somehow those girls on ur show get a grip on themselves and realize what they are doing is bad. My coworker told me a secret the other day and i think i need to share it, he said i have somethin on my mind i said what? He said i was very drunk the other nite and ran through a stop sign and hit a car if not more and i kept going! I didnt know what to say, but i did know even if i said something he is still gonna keep drinking and driving bc its fun for him, and he didnt really care.The only thing he cares about is if someone got his license plate and if he'll get caught! Thats the way this world is and its sad.

Tyra,
I watched the episode of party girls. I used to be right where those girls were when I was in high school. When I went to college I met different people and my heart changed. There are so many more fun things to do and it doesn't have to involve any alcohol! I just wish they could come see what we do every week! Two nights ago my friends and I made dinner and exchanged gifts for Christmas. There are 5 of us just like those 5. My friend got us all pink santa hats so we wore them out to go look at Christmas lights. We got out at houses and took pics of each other hugging the blow up snowmen. It is so fun just being a kid. They are missing out so much. I remember every moment of the fun times I have with my friends. They wake up and can't remember. What a waste of time. Hopefully they will realize it like all of us did.

I just watched the show about party girls. I was really disturbed by the moralistic approach taken by Tyra and her expert guests.

I was a party girl from the time I was an older teenager until I was 40. I was in the music industry. I went out to see bands and partied constantly. I drank when I wasn't on a diet and did other things as well. I went to work every day and achieved my life's goal, which was my career.

Maybe because I don't have kids, I still remember what it was like to be a teenager, the many hypocracies and delusions that parents live under. The fact is nearly all older teenagers are going to experiment with alcohol or something else, no matter what their upbringing, with the exception of those kids who had the misfortune to have a drunk for a parent and therefore shun substances (which is a good thing since they probably inherited dependency). Kids just laugh at anyone who deludes himself thinking kids who party are the exception. They are the rule. You can either face facts and be present to guide them and temper them or you can take the stance that all people who use alcohol and other things are addicts, which they most certainly are not. The truth is, of the many people I have partied with in my four-generations-of-music-life, most of them were not the addictive type and in their fifties now, they are vibrant, interesting, healthy, responsible people. Did they burn out sometimes? Sure. But the truth is there are a LOT more people out there who can drink and party without it being an addiction than there are addicts whose lives are ruined by it.

The truth is that all the attention given to drunk driving is because it's a moral issue. Cell phone usage while driving is soon going to outdistance drunk driving for causing the most accidents, but no one is forming organizations and preaching about that much because it doesn't serve their moral agenda. Same way with elderly drivers, same way with mothers (yes, even MADD mothers) with kids in the car who aren't paying attention at the wheel. Only a handful of towns in the US have mass transit that can be used to get home after a bar closes. So everyone needs to face reality and accommodate rather than shun partying. In my town, there is mass transit, but it stops at midnight and they deliberately didn't run the line down the party district.

By the way, I looked fabulous at 40 and if I shed some pounds, I'll look fabulous at 54. My skin has always been very elastic and young looking. Drinking and partying did not age me. What ages me is boredom.

I never had to deliberately quit any substance. I either got bored with it or, as in alcohol, if there's no occasion, I have no desire to drink it. This year, I've had probably two drinks. The last was on my birthday, a third of a mimosa at brunch. So now I'm the boring old fart the Tyra show wants everyone to be, but I can tell you that I am very, very glad I lived it up while I could -- and longer than most. I have no regrets.

Hi Tyra,

I just finished watching your show, partially. Couldn't follow the whole thing. It is a good subject to bring up on the show, and I am glad you are taking up this role. After I heard some of your comments, which I thought were very useful, I remebered a few scenes of you and Janice Dickinson(sp?). She was acting all crazy with you..etc. I'm not judging her, but definately it was a different image then the one you are trying to portray now. I do thank you for taking up on different issues and trying to advice through experience and professionals on what's the "way to go".

Tyra, I believe what you are trying to do with the show is good, helping those who need it. HOWEVER, i finished watching this show, and although the girls obviously were in denial, you came off very judgmental. Often times i watch your show its either A good happy go lucky topic or one like this one. The people that come on your show are guests and you should treat them like one. I see that you just piss of your guest by telling them that they are "wrong" if they do not see it your way. Also i see that you portray your guest as a bad guy or a certain way and you not find a middle ground to interview them, you are only tunring the audience against them and judging them. topis such as "party girls" are important because there are many girls who need help but i think there are more topics in thi
