Hey Tyra, i never thought i would be so stressed out at an age like i am. I am 20 years old. Dont have a job, well i really cant find one, I am out of school and cant go back until i pay what i owe my old school, which i cant pay them off because i dont have the money or the job. I not only have that problem i am a bisexual and i am jus coming out about who i really am. My momma really dont like she thinks its a phase but its not. I ended up getting kicked out of her place because of some drama that end up with me and my ex girlfriend. I am liik so lost right now. I have a place to stay but then i dont, i dont have no type of job, no really good education, and just so depressed that i am about to go crazy and hopefully i die. But i am trying to keep it strong and keep my head up but i cant because everything in my life is happening also wrong and not going into a good direction when i am trying my best to be a good person and do what i need to do to survive but its getting harder and harder each day for me. I dont know what i am going to do.

Hi Tyra, Even if you don't read this, it definitely helps to write it...I honestly don't even know where to start... I'm currently a Ph.D student studying Health Policy and Outcomes Research in Tennessee. I imagine that a lot of people would think school is the source of my stress, but actual schoolwork is far from it! I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is that I want to do with my life for a long time, and I really don't think I've found it. I have really critical parents, and I feel that a lot of the things I choose to do aren't for me. I feel like a failure! One minute I want to be a health policy advocate, the next I want to be a physician, and the next, I want to be a chef, or a musician, or a teacher, or even a model! But in my culture, being a chef or a musician or a model isn't a "worthy" or "pursuable" career; it's considered to be only a hobby. I really need help in determining what I, I, I, should and WANT to do with my life, because I'm so malleable and I tend to listen to what others want and expect instead of what I, I, I, really want. And my mind is so clouded at this point that I have no idea what that is or where to start. :(

Hey Tyra! I watch your show religiously. I feel like I know you. I really appreciate(and I'm sure most of your viewers do too) the way you help young girls with the issues they have today. You and I are about the same age(I'm a little older:37) and I can't believe the struggles these girls have. I, myself, like most Americans, have my own struggle. MY WEIGHT! I'm only about 40 lbs. over but I have NO motivation. I was 118-130lbs most of my life and at 130 it was OMG I'M FAT! Alot heavier now. I'm not working at the moment and think I should take advantage of the "free" time I have to work on it. Any suggestions on how to get started???????

Hey Ty-Ty, it's Dani. Okay so pretty much the last ten years of my life has been really stressful. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, was in foster care, my mom and dad divorced and I had to move from one school to another. One time I went to three schools during fourth grade and I was so far behind in school I felt like I wasn't smart.(I lived with my grandmother who I helped take care of since my mom was not in my life and still isn't. she grew sick as i got older and passed away 3 years ago.) I even had really bad personal thoughts of leaving this world because I'm not a social butterfly and it's hard for me to get close to people. I'm currently a senior in high school, and now I am scared of how I should live my life. My only personal request is for you to have a show for teens who have a fear of adulthood especially when their childhood has been taken away from them at an early age. There are so many things I wish I could post I'd have to write a novel about my life.

Hi Tyra stressed isn't the right word for what I'am first I'm a single mom with a sickly baby I work security and I have no help my son's father doesn't want to have anything to do with my son because I won't be with him. My son has been in and out of he hospital almost all his life because of his asthma. Not only that they want to put him on a oxgen machine. I love my baby so much but at times it can get really hard and all I can do is cry. I never let my son see me cry, but bills get past due and I truly don't know what to do I just try to live my life one day at a time,and make life better for my wonderful son Christian please keep me and my baby in your prayer's thank you

Heeyyy! Everybody leaving comments seem to be stressed out! I just want to leave a positive note that if we let the weight of the world bring us down, and we wear our troubles and ALLOW stress to drag us down, it will! If you think you got it bad, someone else has it worse:) I am a single mother of 5 boys ages 11,9,7 and 11 month old twins. I am a soldier in the USArmy. Try balancing a fulltime job, using lunchtime to pick up the 3 older boys from school, take them to work with me for the remaining hours for lack of money to pay for after school care, pick up the twins, homework, chores, projects, dinner, bath time, reading time, sleep time...and when they're asleep... Clean up messes, prep lunches, try to find Internet jobs to get more money in and then shower/relax by 0300! And at 0530 it's a rewind! I'm dealing with trying to figure out bills, school fees, day care fees, groceries, gas, memories of Iraq and the lives of fellow comrades and family lost to this war against terrorism, worry about taking care of my parents, spend time with my kids because a day off is not normally yada,yada,yada...sure I hide in the corner and bawl my eyes out and then put on a huge smile for the boys because Mommy is always singing Bob Marleys song, "Everything is gonna be a'rite!!" everything happens for a reason! I advise that we carry on the strength from our Mothers, wipe our tears, put on our kick butt attitude and guide our kids over the obstacles in front of us because the Lord wouldn't give us anything we can't handle! LOL Tyra, you're an inspiration!! I enjoy the message you give on your
