Hey Tyra my name is Autumn and i'm 12 years old and my show idea for you is..you should have children on that come from a small community that don't get to experience things they would like to.
for exsample if a little boy or girl wanted to meet someone famous or sing on a big stage but cant.
the reason i thought of this is because i've always wanted to sing on a big stage but i think i need some help i dont know how good of a singer i am and i dont want to be embarased in front of people so please consider my e-mail
p.s i'm a huge fan i love you so much and i love what you do for others
Dear Tyra,
I am a 53 year old single black female living in Philadelphia Pa.I have 2 adult daughter's and 9 grandchildren.My show idea is for your mother to host the show wit an audience of single mother's 50 and over trying to get back to their life after raising their children to discuss dating tips,make up tips, and tips on evrday living.
i hope you consider doing the show i have suggested.
thank you very much,

Tyra, I am a divorced mother to a 12 year old son with Autism. I would like to see more awareness to Autism in the Hispanic and Black communities. I see alot of shows but most focus on middle class whites who have Autistic children and mostly married couples. I struggle every day and there are more people out there like myself who struggle day to day to take care of these very special children. It is especially a difficult road when the parent is single or divorced. I dont date and I have been divorced for 10 years. I put all of my time and energy into my son and dont take the time to take care of my needs. I also know that there are parents out there who struggle with issues of guilt and those who stuggle to make ends meet. I dont want a celebrity show, I want real people who live life day to day and who actually struggle. Celebs dont have a clue, they have it all and are able to give the best to their children with Autism. I think that if anyone can pull this off it is you. Peace and love and I hope that we can put a more diverse face to children with Autism.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SHOW WITH WOMEN WITH VERY LOW SELF ESTEEM.
What the one thing that musicians, starlets, college students, teenagers, adults, business owners, tweens and even parents have in common? All of the above have MYSPACE profiles!
I think a show idea that would reach a wide audience is the "Myspace Craze". What is this phenomenon about? It started out as a site to get the words and talents of aspiring music groups and musicians out and now it really is a "craze"! You have 13 years olds on it, college students, young adults and now there are mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc...
It is a great way to market and promote music groups and businesses, awesome for networking and finding old friends but why are people so interested in Myspace?? People devote countless hours of their time surfing profiles, searching for the right background for their own profile, reading up on strangers, trying to up the number of friends on their friend list...
Now, dont get me wrong. I, too, have a Myscace account. I am not, at all, downing this web community. I just think it would be interesting to break down what made it so big, where the idea came from, why ppl are so interested, etc.
It is a fad and a trend of the 21st century and I dont see it going anywhere anytime soon. So why not give it just a little more attention in the media for those who may need to know or want to know more about it... ie. parents, teachers, business owners. It could def. make for an interesting hour!
Hey Tyra,
I was thinking you could do a show on young adults who are faced with the challange of taking care of a disabeld parent. I am 20 year's old with 16 month old son, I also take care of my 65 year old father. Before i was born my dad had a brain anurisome... to make a long story short he now has the mental capability of a 7 year old child. It can me very challanging for me taking care of not only my son at such a young age but my father as well, i am lucky enough however to have a boyfriend who is very supporting and underdstanding about it.
please feature all the people that's working for the show...i mean behind the camera and all the staff...they really deserve to be appreciated for making such a wonderful show...also please feature young and talented children/teens with incredible talents..gifted child as they call it...
hey tyra pls make a show that's so fun...i miss your crazyness tyra...all about makeovers that boast confidence to women out there...also you can make a show that is visiting to other countries visiting your fans all over the world...just like a world tour...that would be fun...also sharing fun moments this xmas season coz that's my fave season of the year...thanks and more power to your show...
Hey Tyra,
I think you should do a show all about BBW. In a world were everywhere you look people just see skinny people BBW need to know that it's ok to be plus size. I'm 22 and have a hard time knowing what looks good and what doesn'tt. You always do fashion clothes for the average woman. How about doing a fashion show for the BBW. Just an idea. Hope this helps.

Tyra,
Hi my name is Angela I have seen alot of your shows and many of them have touched my life. I am 23 and a single mother of 1, 5 year old little girl I am in college studying psychology ,and I need your help. I obesity is a major problem world wide I have done everything to lose the pounds nothing works. My self esteem is at such a low point i find it hard to even be in public . My daughter has made comments to me why are you fat and i cannot answer her.I Have a skin condition psoriasis and my skin looks like snake skin Tyra I have never seen you do a show on skin conditions like this, and since i have developed this i have to cover all my skin up I cannot be comfortable in public with a skirt or shorts i have to sweat to death with pants and a sweater to cover up my horrifying skin I am begging you for help Tyra. I am tired of my daughters friends teasing her over her moms skin if you could take the time to help me with my battle I think it could help me over come my self esteem issues and my over eating because of feeling sad and ugly. Thanks For Taking tha time and reading this Angela
Hey ms. BAnks i believe that you should a a fun show about girls who want to be actors or models and every one who want to become these things should have there act ready and you could see if you could help them get a head it should be fun because you get to see different girls act a fooland see some competiton and they should win a prize or casting.
hi tyra, i hope u decide to do this topic. i will like for u to do a show on saluting single dads that are raising their kids by themselves. i will also like for u to do a tailor by tyra: kids edition. you should makeover a child's room, that will be really nice, and i will love for u to do a show on over-protected parents and the dance moves of the 21st century and compare it to the dances that was out in my mom's generation.also u should do a show on you spending the day with one of your biggest fans. thanks have a good day amber
hi tyra,
hope everything is fine with you. I'm 45 and hav
e my daughter and 3 year old granddaughter living with me. My daughter is 23 years old and doesn't seem to make the right decisions for herself and her daughter. partying alot,doing questionable modeling for magazines, etc. Can you do a show on these children that won't leave and causing their hard working mommas to have anxiety attacks and on constant standby for that dreaded phone call. i have told her she needs to get her own place so i can relax and enjoy the years i have left. I love them but Tyra...raised my children and need to move on and relax been there done that. A show on grandmothers and the hardships of dealing with their children's responsibility and raising their grandchildren. I feel better now venting Thanks
Hi tyra,
I was thinking maybe you make on teenage girls and advanced men.I mean man that old enough to be my father is on neck and feeding me up with love stories. I am just 21 and him 69 years. imagin that.
Tyra,
I think that you should do a show explaining why you would accept a transgender model and not models who are a few inches shy 5 ft 7 inches?? What's up with that????
I would really like to see a positive show about BBW's fashion, health tips, hang outs just bring BBW's to the forefront and emphasizing the beauty in our curves our style and our attitude. I myself am a BBW and I am proud of it. I could not always say that because resources especially fashion was so limitied to gingham, plaid, polka dots and nature scenes...( I am not a picnic table or a walking forest) But with trendy plus size stores like Torrid (which I LOVE) Lane Bryant and now even Avenue the skys the limit. With nightlife such is Goddess (whose promoter was featured in the Oct issue of Essence pg 118) We Platinum Plus size creations are having fun and living life. Yes being morbidly obese is unhealthy but being plus size does not always mean you are "obese" sometimes it just means you are thicker then most. I think your show would be such a positive outlet for highlighting that.
Thank you
Joy
Hey Tyra,
Someone out there needs to do a talk show on the deaths of parents and how it affects the teens and the single parent who is left to care for them. I'm barely fifteen yet and I lost my dad to stomach cancer last year. I am still not sure how to handle it. I battle every day with my depression, anxiety and sometimes inability to sleep. I think that the someone should be you, as you are the most inspirational woman there is to young girls like me. I find it hard to cope without my dad and I know i'm not the only one. I think that you should bring together single parents and teens who have lost their mum/dad as well as some teens who don't seem to appreciate their parent/parents whether one of them have passed away or not. There are so many grieving teens out there and so many teens who just don't appreciate what they have, and if they are all brought together maybe it would not only wake some of them up, but maybe be a step onto the road of recovery for girls like me.
Thanks for your time Tyra :) See you tomorrow on Arena! x
Hi Tyra,
I was think that you should do a show about animal cruelty. There are so many animals getting badly hurt and killed because some people are so cruel. They test prducts on them and that kills so many poor animals. Nobody cares much for animals when, i think they should. And they kill the animals for clothing, when they can use fake fur.
Hi tyra I am 20 years old and have breast asymmetry. My doctor says I will most likely have it for the rest of my life. One is a DD and the other about a C. I wear a push up thing in the smaller side of my bra to try and make them look okay but its really uncomfortable and its a pain to just try to keep it in place and it makes me sweat. I can't go without it and I can't wear a bathing suit either since you can see the push up. It makes me depressed and I am just wondering if there is anything I can do to help my self esteem with this issue. And I'm told about 10 percent of women have a difference of 2 cup sizes or more so I know its not just me suffering. I'm just not looking forward to life knowing I have to stuff everytime I go out it makes me just want to stay in. The people that I do open up to about it just don't understand.I'm sure my husband is tied of hearing me complain about it as well.
So I was just wondering if you could do an episode on significant breast asymmetry and support for the woman who have it and all the things that I have mentioned. I love your show and it has helped me love all the other imperfections except my breasts. Please help thank you.
Hi Tyra!
I hope my idea is okay, i was thinking of a show about teens and how they can be so cruel, and me being a teenager I have seen how highschool and teens behaviour can have such a negative influence on another person or break someones self esteem or even cause them to want to hurt themselves or worse. I wasn't bothered by anyone in highschool or bullied, or even made fun of, but i saw it happen from the outside in and it made me think of how i can change it, because people can be so cruel especially highschool kids and it happens even before they know the person they are making fun of or ganging up on, not even knowing the history of why they're the way they are, they judge before they know. It might seem like a small idea, but most of the world is made of young adults, were the becoming generation and i just think that all of us should learn how to better our selves through eachother, by not using harsh words or "rumors" because something so small said to a teen can make or break us.
