hi tyra
it always my plesure to watch your show just because i always derive alots of good lessson from it and i keep it on.thanks

I just wanted to say that I am an alcoholic. I knew it even before I took the quiz. I am 20 years old and I have been drinking since I was twelve years old. By the way, I answered yes to all twelve of them. This past January, I got my first DUI. I totaled my mothers vehicle, got a cuncussion, and I also had severe whiplash. Most of my family has pretty much stayed away from me for a long time. But, for some reason, I still keep drinking. And not just a couple of drinks here or there. I mean, I drink to excess. I do very stupid things. This past weekend, I punched a guy in the face. I dont even remember inviting him over. I just want to say, to everyone. Get help and DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!!!! Maybe you should do a show on this Tyra, I know TONS of people who drink and drive who think that its ok. Its NOT! And even though i still drink, I will not let anyone drink and drive. Not only do you endanger yourself, but others as well. I think teens especially need to be more imformed about this topic! Thanks!

:)

dear tyra,
I myself am not an alchoholic but someone very close to me i feel is . Ever since i was a little kid i can remeber my dad drinking i remeber when i was little and he used to hug and kiss me and i smelt alchohal on his breath many times. It is a reoccuring theme in my family and heavy drinking is common especially on my late granfathers side of the family . My grandfather before he passed was also an alchoholic and my dad has been drinking since he was 13 i think everytime i see him drink it infuriates me it fills me with so much rage and almost makes me hate him. when he is drunk he turns into a moronic idiot and a true jerk but he doesnt believe he has a problem but we all know he does my mom has been telling him for years drinking can kill him its bad for him and he wont listen he even gets a form of arthritis from drinking too much called gout . it makes me want to cry when i see him drink some nights more frequent now and days he gets so drunk he passes out and it is so embarrasing it makes me ashamed of him i know there are worse out there people who suffer through more but i almost HATE HATE HATE my father for drinking he always gets these 24 oz cans of heinekens and drinks like 4-6 of them a night or he'll get like really tall bottles and just drink one after another its gotten to the point where he tries to hide it from my mother but she knows and she is tired of it. i Recently learned that alchohal unlike other drugs that damage cells kills cells i tell him this and he tunes it out i wish he would stop sure his drinking problems are not as bad as some others out there but i would like it to stop before it gets that bad it pains me in my heart to watch him drink . there are hardly any memories that i have where my dad doesnt have a drink in his hand sometimes when he drinks he gets rowdy and obnoxious and loud and rude or he passes out or he gets really really angry and mean and my dad also has anger issues it has calmed a little over the years but drinking fuels his anger and my grandfather drank until he was put in his grave and i dont want that to be my father i dont want my future children being round that i now i am only 18 right now but as the years go by my dads drinking seems to get more prevelent and become more of a problem i just want to stop this problem before it gets out of hand.

Hi Tyra,
I was watching the show with the girl named Tanisha, and looking at her, she looked like a little girl. It's hard to imagine what takes so much control over people that they let alcohol ruin their lives. It must be tough for you to do an intervention on what looks like a little girl, when in reality, this is happening to girls much younger than Tanisha, because the pain of whatever they are going through is so great. I wonder why she never went to her mother, it sounds like she had her own life to live, so hopefully her mom, Nola, is part of the healing process.

Hi Tyra,
(Tiffiny, 23, Alaska)

For years I have struggled in my life. Bad childhood, depressed teen turned into depressed adult. I hate my body. I cut. The last time I cut I was really drunk and become overwhelmed with emotion. I cut to release myself from that emotion, if only for mere moments. I drink to erase the feelings of self hate. I see a therapist and am on anti depressants. I still feel lost. I am in a relationship that has lasted over a year now. My drinking is becoming an issue between us. I want to stop, but stopping means never getting a release from my self hate. My parents were both alcoholics and Im afraid I have this disease as well. I dont seek out help because that would be admitting I have a problem. Im scared. I don't know if I can stop. But if I dont then I will lose what matters most. Drinking causes depression and my depression causes me to drink. Where does this cycle end? Please Tyra I need help, give me a way out and I will take it.

Hi, Tyra i really enjoyed your show on Friday April 11,2008.I my self am in the AA program and I with my soon to be wife are raising my two boys ,who are 21 and 9 years old both my boys go to ala a teen.I have been clean and sober for 9 months as of April 9 ,2008 please keep up the great job.All the people on your show that need help have to want it for them selves and the rest will come as long as they let a higher power help them. Please let them know that my family and I will pray for them.

Tyra, I think you are a great role modle. you tell it how it is and that is how it should be. i seen a comment from a nother young women and i have to agree with her I cant find a good bra eather. I'am 21 with a 36D almost DD and i cant find a bra that fits right for nothing i try all brand and diffent size to see but no luck. Please can you help us?

Hi!

I need help. I'm 22, of average build (let's just say I'm not fat, but definitely not stick thin!)and my bra size is 34D (almost a DD)...can you please tell me what you think the best bra to buy is? I feel like I can't wear what i want because I don't have the right bra!

Thanks!

Are you trying to be like Oprah?

I think this is a very big sign that you are an alcoholic and I think this would make a great show. My boyfriend made 21 about three years ago and he drinks alot. I tell him all the time that he reminds me of my father who drinks so much that it scares me. Now my boyfriend doesn't drink and start acting crazy or anything. But he does other things like hide alcohol from me so that I don't say anything about it. I asked him once before if he could stop drinking a least for one week and he said "yes" but of course it didn't happen. He drinks after work and it just drives me crazy because he has to work the next day why can't he save it until he's off. His mom told me his father use to drink often as well. I don't want my boyfriend to go down the wrong path and I think if he loves his family and me he would slow down.

OK, so something you are about to air on thursday March 12 on TV is very ironic. The girl who is speaking about her
DUI /DWI arrest ( danielle F.) was on an episode about spring break binge drinking last year. I think its funny that the danielle said that shes never "partied" and drank the amounts of alcohol that the college students drank. Now, she got arrested for drinking and driving. I thought it was ironic.

Iam 25 and I have avision from the Lord to marry a white Christian girl. Could you help to find one of 18- 21.Iam staying in Malawi C. Africa.

We are just as beautiful and would like a chance. please write back

Hello Tyra,
I thought your show today was excellent. I wouldn't be surprised that you and your guests reached many people in crisis, or at least gave many food for thought. However, I just coulddn't help but wonder why you would offer rehab treatement to Bear and not at that same time offer help, not just, "you need to find a twelve step program", to the young lady in the audience who stood up and owned that she knows she has a problem. I know the show was called "celebrity addictions" but this young woman may have even less resources than any of your guests thereby being one who may need financial and immediate assistance the most. Just a thought...
Thank you, Rose

Hey Tyra My name is Latoya and I'm a 28yr. single mom of a 10yr. boy Just let mt say that I Love BOTH your shows ANTM and The Tyra Show Ive been watching ANTM from Adrienne to Yovawnna to Eva (da diva) Nicole and my favorite Jaslene from my hometown Chicago. Well the reason why I'm writing you beacuse I just saw your make a wish show and you are such a beautiful person inside and out (I know Momma Tyra is so proud) but anyhow I was wondering if you could grant this wish for me (I know you like what this grown child want!) well since I can remeber maybe 7 or 8 I havent had no hair on the right side of my head at first I was told and I thought it was because my mom had left perm in my hair too long (and you know once that mess starts to burn its time to wash it out!) but after so many yrs. it never grew back. And I remeber I had to been around 9, 10, or 11 and I had just move to a new neighborhood so I was on my porch with the girl from across the street so being the "new kid" on the block she had was just asking me questions getting to know so a strong gust of wind came and semi showed my bald spot and caught the girls attention. So she look with a (curious look) on her face and I knew what the next question was and I try my best to dance around that question like dirty dancing lol to make a horrible long story short she lift my hair up and seen my bald spot and ran and told everybody that the new girl had no hair ;-( i ran in the house and move to the city with my grandma and never went back. I have been leaving with this for most of my life but since I've gotten older I've been trying to deal with it my mom has never really given me a explaination to why my hair is this way but my only wish is to just where my hair in a ponytail!!!!!!! I've always wish that I could just get up out the bed and slap my hair into a ponytail and go! Instead I have to spend 20 to 30 min on my hair just to make sure that my bald side isnt showing ( and I have a 9;35 class in the morning that I cant be late for) so if you can grant this one little tiny wish for me or IF you can hook me up with someone who can help me in my hometown that would even be better Thanks in Advance Your america's next top model Latoya Howard P.S you know it really hard when a guy wanna run his fingers threw your hair but there's none there LOL that's gotta be strange Well Tyra I hope to hear from ya soon see ya!
