hiya tyra, well dont really kno what to say, iv always had low self esteem basically since i went to school and i got bullied a hell of alot im in my final year now, well over in britain its year 11 secondary school, i was a model 4 a short time but then i stopped because i was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and i started struggeling with everything really,iv been thinking about my career and i wanted to go into child care but there were some things like the lenght of the asighnments etc that made me think about howahrd it would be as my arthritis is especially bad in the right wrist (my writing hand) so then i decided 2 go to an animal course i was happy but then my dad said that there is no point in me doing the animal course or any other course he said that i should get a saturday job, but then said but that would be to hard for you aswell wouldnt it because you cant do anything. it hurt me so bad i started crying and yelling and screaming at him. im not giving up though and i would like anyone else with arthritis ignore anyone who trys to stop you from achieving your dreams even if its someone close.Im determined to meet you some day tyra, imin britain though so ya know, along way away, lol.

Hi, Tyra my name is Jenny and im 16. i have low self esteem i always think im ugly. i think it all stated after elementary school, i was always teased the kids would always pick fights with me and do anything that would annoy me. one time my mom did my hair in box braids and this one girl pulled my hair on purpose my real hair came out with it. Another time i told some girl that i didnt have grandparents(they died) and they laughed at me. i hated school. evryone in school always called me ugly. i really want to be a model so i told my mom that and she told me im too short and that im not skinny enough. i never looked at myself and thought i was beautiful its hard, but my boyfriend is really helpful he helps forget me keep my mind off of the negative thing that happened in the past and he calls me beautiful everyday and it helps.

Hi Tyra! My name is Fatima, I really don't consider I have self-esteem issue myself. I am 15 years old soon to be 16 in a few months, but the reason I am posting this is that my mother seems to bring me down a lot, she calls me many names, that I know I am well not, but it hurts me so much to think I am called that by my own mother, and I cry so much, and then she asks me why I cry. So one day she asked me, what do I want to do, and I said something with or involves art, then she asked like what? I said modeling, voice acting, or photography. She's like are you crazy, why don't you become a lawyer that will make you money, and what the lady said when we had your fortune told, that hurt me so much tyra, to think my own mother doesn't support what I want to be, I want to become a model so bad, but she doesn't approve, nor she doesn't approve of many things I do, I do not know what I do wrong that angers her so... But I do hope you read this Tyra and maybe help me(:
 
Tyra, this is something I am recently having difficulties with. I am 19 yrs old, and I never really felt to down about my self, until now. I am in a serious relationship with my boyfriend of 2 years. He is a Marine and has completed two tours in Iraq. Tyra my low self-esteem has established from his depression due to war. At first it was perfect,he was affectionate and loving, our sex life was great, but as time progressed I feel his past expirences are taking control and especially since he was re-activated back in Novemeber 2008, but was able to delcine his orders in April 2009, all he thinks about is going back in the Marines and how he feels he let his buddies down. I know he is not cheating on me or is being unfaithful, he has tried to explain this problem that he is older (24yrs old) and his sex-drive is not as high as mine, and he finds no interest in being affectionate, but really he tells me he has been years with out having a girlfriend or significant other and he feels its starting to catch up to him, since he has been suffering from depression of wanting to re-join the miliatry. I just wanted to let you know that girls not only suffer from low self-esteem just from maybe being over weight or not being popular, but war and world issues have affects on us women who are with someone in the military and it is very difficult,atleast for me, to find help or support in this type of situation. It's very hard to deal with and to stay strong for someone who you can not relate to. I love your show and everything you are doing! You are such a role
