Hi my name is shana and i watch your show a lot and it is very entertaining!!!

im not violen at all lol ha i love tyra get i want to be americas next top mode lmao

I Have Girl Violent Syndrome i love 2 fight for no reason i need help

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tyra iam only 12 and i hope u get this and i look at your show every day.

Hi,I'm a teenager and my boyfriend recently dumped me. I still felt terrible and then something happened at school. This guy Spencer said,"Hey Alyssa, I know one word that would turn your smile upside down." I said, "What?" He said the name of my ex boyfriend, I felt defeated, humiliated and i could feel tears comming in my eyes, then something in me just snapped. I got really angry, I dashed forward, put him to the wall choking him as hard as I could. By that time I was crying a lot, when I was finished I let go and ran off crying. I think I scared him which is good sort of. There was a lot of people around me and no one knew I had that aggression in me. But my question is...do I have Violent Girl Syndrome?

dr gary i was at the show and alot of things the amanda girl said were not aired why is that? what happened to her moms documents from court that found kaitlaind a very willing paricipant-ready to rumble i believe the magistrate said in the cincinnati enquirer? is there a reason kaitlaind never answered amandas question "why did you lie kaitlaind" in my opinion you only used amanda for your shows ratings. it is really bad when ratings are more important than the truth. tyra you need to check your contracts somewhere in them it states "not to knowingly give untruthfull information about anyone", well tyra i thougt you were smarter than that. you give the term "strong woman" a bad name and should never be a mom

To better clarify my position on this syndrome, I only disagree with the terminology with the diagnosis. I think the better way to explain this,for example, is to tackle the issue of teenage violence with a special emphasis on females. I feel in our society equating females and violence is horrific, but males and violence is natural. Violence is never the answer in conflict resolution.I feel when we put the female gender with violence, then it becomes a progaganda. Granted it has become a recent phenomenon, it is not completely new to society. for example, this term was not given to female gangs and sorotity girls who practice violent methonds while initating new memebers. These activities and more violent have been around longer than this term. I do agree on informing teenage girls from being reactionary to become more responsive to their situation but this term is problematic.

O.k i am a teen and people think i have violent girls syndrome because of the the way i am,and they all think i need help? I too think i need help on stop being violent but don't know how to and don't get enough help by any! So what would be you advice?

Facial gestures and body language is the silent art of bullying with girls. It sometimes escalates with physical violence after the smirks and snubs become ineffective.

It is apparent to me when watching your show that Amanda will not stop her behavior, she will just become more sneaky.

I was bullied in Jr. High at age 13, the solution from school admin. was to have ME walk around the building to get to my class instead of walking the same hallway past the bully. Nothing happened to her-EVER.

Parents and teachers need to pay attention. Be in the moment, call them on it. It is very subtle in nature but very LOUD to the victim.

The fact is that these shocking behaviors among girls (gender bias term?) is the highest increasing arrest category connected to violent crimes among youth in this country. Violent crimes involving boys are statistically going down nationwide. I work with girls 'at-risk' of getting pregnant, dropping out of school and committing violent crimes and have witnessed how girls as young as 11 and 12 are using violence as a way to settle on-going petty disputes. I noticed on today's show that the mother was possiblly condoning her daughter's excessively violent behavior, while her girlfriends provoked the fight and cheered. This concerns me with other young mothers as well, because that is what they have learned themselves from abusive relationships and pass it on to their kids. The fact that the episode was posted online as a badge of honor by these immature young girls makes me sick. As Dr. Coriat points out, these girls are using violence as a coping mechanism to conflicting situations without thinking, just reacting. Is there a place where I could find more information on violent girls syndrome?

my comment on this is that u don't have to be so violent toward each other and you and your friend talk it out in a nice and let it go

I think the term Violent Girl Syndromes is a gender biased term. When one hears this term to explain this recent phenomenon, it implies that a violent syndrome that only exist in girls. In all actuality, most violent acts come from the male population. The words used to describe this syndrome makes it seem that females are not suppose to be violent. Tyra said on her show, " it went scratching and pulling hair to full out fists and punches." (I'm losely quoting her. I can't exactly remember what she said.)That comment could be interpreted as if girls were to get into fights that there is a set of codes that women should only use. In fact as we see in nature, women can become extremely violent especially when it becomes an issue of survival. I think this is a recent phenemonon to studied but I simply think the term is not appropiate. When we hear violent teenagers, as a society we include both sexes. But when we hear female violence, it ignores the fact that there is no studies on male violence in our youth because it is included in term youth while female violence is segregated. It almost reinterates that fact that if males aren't aggressive then they are going against the social norm and when females act violent then it causes a great discussion and debate. I think that maybe using the APA (American Pschylogy Association) to better word this phenomenon, that the study can show more validity in try to solve this problem in out youth.
