I can't believe this is the country that i fought for,I came back from Iraq finishing my third tour.You know it's also sad that my big brother went to war with me and died for this.Before he died that day we were ambushed form along the border.And that day i could tell his mission change,thanks to him i lived.That day we both escaped we had to locate another unit ours was destroyed,but we couldn't.Because my brother was bleeding rapidly.And he was telling me don't go any further your gonna get shot and be in my condition.Thank God we found a place to hide.Thank god we had a few moments together.You know war will really get you emotional and say those things you would probably never say.I told him I wish we were younger and we were with mom.I told him i wish you would make me laugh again like when we were younger.Those times made me realize i was glad i had a big brother.I'm a Christian and in our religion it talks about anything is possible with god.But when my brother Juan was dying I was telling myself in my mind "this is not possible"The last thing i said to him was "we were meant to live for so much more".The next day a convoy comes and finds us thank god.We got out from that place i was alive my brother Juan was dead. The reason i joined was because i had a question that i wanted to answer, How do i save a life? when he died he took that question from me and answered it for me.It's not fair he's never gonna have a chance to see his wife and child. Some reasons that I've heard why people would join is I want to fight for my

I believe that happens, because teenage girls wont to show that they can "be" like another normal boy. They can steel, bit and win fits like... They want to show that they are strong like any other boy.

If everyone cared and nobody cried. If everyone loved and nobody lied. if everyone shared and swallowed their pride. Then we'd see the day that nobody died. You know before the fights it might be that they want attention,love,popularity,but during those fights and after the fights they just show they have too much pride.Why is it that humans only care when something bad happens 9/11,hurricane Katrina,hurricane Ike.You know I live in Houston And IKE it hard where i live. So much destruction but these are the only moments when we care. After hurricane Ike i saw people that would never talk to each other or help each other.But after Ike people that didn't know each other worked together to rebuild. To make a bad situation a good one. You know if we didn't have so many bad things on this world and things on Tv are also accountable. Here is a generation that has problems and here comes a younger generation learning about it.

Violance is COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

violence is a form of expression. It is a form of communication for these girls. Those girls are communicating their anger and frustration and insecurities and preconceptions. This can be treated if these girls were to figure out an alternative way of communicationing. They need to express with art, music, a language, a sport. They do not know how. That is why there is graffitti, hiphop, rap and poetry. Problem is that society is judgemental and cannot handle the words in rap, art, dirty dance etc. because it is not all happy and sweet. Once these feelings of anger, rage, and negativity have been expressed, these girls should learn to let go and forget and forgive. There is no need to hold on to what happened years ago. If there are others archiving your life and your dark moments, let them. All that will make you realize how far you have come from those moments of your fall and downturns. Teach these girls the meaning of enlightenment--they need to learn their worth/value.

yea, i do agree teenage girls are becoming more violent. They sometimes are even more agresive than teenage boys now on days.

well tyra this is going to sound crazy,but it's not just girls it's women too! these girls I once called my friends are now my fr-enemies they came to my house at 8am and started to question me about a guy friend of theirs and I said that nothing happen,but they still wanted to fight one girl I've known my whole life since I was in my teens the other girl only 1yr or so anyway we fight and my boyfriend comes out to stop the fight and we ask them to leave but they don't so then he's fighting with the girls I once called friends.....anyway I had to call the police to get them out of my house and had to press charges on both of them,but what hurts the most is friend #1 was a sister to me and friend #2 I thought was my friend I guess it goes to show you friends are not who they say they really are

Society ,nature, nurture, self image, knowledge, ect. I don't believe there is just one reason for why girls are violent and seem to become even more violent as the years go on, but then again all of this applies to all of the problems in society. Since it always depends on the individual it would make sense as to why there is so much controversy and talk about what it is exactly.But don't get me wrong I understand that certain things may be more influencial than other things and it may be something they all have in common.Everyone tries to pinpoint the one thing we can all blaime as the problem, but I think its really a combination of all the above, because you would think if we knew exactly what the problem was, we would have been able to find a solution by now, and even if we do have a solution whos going to solve it? Is this a situation where sometimes like in an accident everyone expects everyone else to call 911 so in the end noone does and we have an unecessary death on our hands, but everyone then blaimes everyone else? But personally from my experiences I think that the main influence is ignorance. Are they too ignorant to realize when your just eye candy to entertain a group of ignorant fool, who dont give a damn if you lose or not, get hurt,etc. Maybe too ignorant to realize what kind of image and repuration they really gain by picking on a "smaller" person just because they think they can take them. Maybe not wise enought to realize they are the problem and not a solution. To ignorant to realize selfishness is a sign of a lack of stability in their lives. Maybe they are

Hey Tyra girl, first off I just have to say that girl you are "FIERCE" in evrything that you are doing and I wanted to commend you on that. You are one sisterly diva that is making it for herself as well as helping and supporting women of all race, sizes,and shapes all over the world. When I watch your talk show it makes me feel alot better through the course of the rest of that day because you have a way of giving inspiration to people with your topics as well as the things you say to make people have self- esteem within themselves. I'm a 33yr. old mother of three sons, and believe me it gets very stressful with working, paying the bills, to having two teen sons and a 5yr.old as well, and to be able to get alittle peace from someone positive tends to make me feel a whole lot better. Tyra I hope you see how much of a differnce you make in peoples lives, you are so inspirational and even though I haven't gotten the cahnce to meet you in person, YET, LOL, oh I'm working on getting tickets for October to your show I just wanna say keep doing and being you.P.S., you take the most beautiful and fierce pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coretha

Hey Tyra! Haven't seen you for one month! That's a question. When i was young, it was difficult for me to have a quareer or fight with others.I guess it may because they want to express their dissatistfaction, or just want to attract others attention. As we know, teenagers without good marks have higher risk in violence. That's my answer. Good nignt,Tyra!

Hi Tyra im 15 and i always watch your show i think it is good to be talking about fighting because a lot of people fight and they dont understand that there are others ways to handle their differences. i have been in a fight before and after it was done i felt really bad but i never apologize to her and i wish i did. i was always a quite person never talked to anyone. i use to always get picked on ever since i was in first grade. once the girl called me a fat b**** i lost it i finally said enough is enough so a punched her i was in sixth then but she didn't hit me back then the teacher sent her to the nurse and she was brused for a week i regretted it for a long time and i still do now im a sophomore in high school and we go to different high schools so i never see her i want to tell her im sorry but i cant. thanks for listening to my story tyra and i cant wait to watch your show on Monday bye

We are surrounded by the violence and we have always been but because of the media it is a lot easier to connect violence and enterntainment. Young girls are aggressive because it is hard to follow this world.....

I think that girlz today are trying to be violent because they want to prove something to everyone and they think that by fighting they are going to prove it. But i think that deep inside they r just doing it to feel secure. They need to know that not everyone is going to like them nd that there is n0thng they can do. Ur never going to be able to please the whole world.
