Tyra, see my self-esteem turns on and off, it's absolutely, laughably ridiculous. My issue is the social life. I've never had a boyfriend, a real relationship and I've never had a childhood friend that knows me well. I get nervous around guys and I'm 19. Never been kissed-absolutely NOTHING and the thing is, I'm the one holding myself back.

I always have had Self Esteem Issues. I used to be very heavy. I was made fun of, and only had one friend. Last summer I shed it all off went from 185lbs to 140lbs and went into my 9th grade year of High school. I am still very Self concious but much, much better then the way I used to be. I am still not used to my new body.
 
Hi Tayra,I'm more then 50lbs over weight because i use to be on a medication called pedisone for over a year. I was on it because of my rare eye disease , that almost caused me to go blind when i was 10. Any ways my disease has been stable since i was eleven when they took me off the meds. I exercise all the time, i tryed joining the softball team at my school , and still have'nt managed to loose the weight. Lately my self esteam has gone down the drain. I want to loose the weight, but also i also want to be confortable in my own skin. My mom trys to help me embrace my size by taking me shopping and she even calls me her queen Latifa. My low self esteam some times makes me come off as shy. I really want to loose the weight but i want even more to be happy with who i am and know that i am beautiful at what ever size. P.S. i am 16
 
I have a slight vision problem, but my eyes look out to the side so when I am talking to someone it does not really look like I am looking at them, even if I know that I am. That makes me feel like I am ugly, because no one wants to talk to someone who won't look them in the eye, I know it's anoyin. I hate it! I try to tell myself that when I get older there will be aman who exepts me for me and who will look past my whole eye situation....but, I just don't know Tyra, I just don't know if there is any hope for me....
 
HeY Tyra!! I am 14 years old anD my self esteem is not good i do not thnk i am prettY i do not think boys notice me and it makes me feel like i am worthless.
 
As a child I had low self-esteem because of my height. I was tall for my age, and I hardly fit in with my peers. I also had other self-esteem issues as well. But as I got older, I got over it and learned to live by the following saying "change the things I can change, and accept the things I cannot change."
 
hey i have issues with self esteem but wen i look in da mirror i see beauty but witout one in front of me i hav a problem wit my confidence.i also look at other ppl and see dat im very beautiful compared 2 others but for sum reason i lack self esteem. idk

Hey Tyra, Im 13 years old. I just entered middle school this year and things are tough.A lot has changed about me especialy my self esteem. I'm not a size 2 but i'm not a size 24 ether. i get compliments on how i look all the time but there are still those girls that try to put me down because they're mot comfortable in their own skin. it has not hindered me in any way,but it has boosted my confidence.When other girls talk about me all it does is make me stronger because that tells me that they are jealouse of me.
 
Tyra your show is just so great!!!! I'm 14 and the first scenerio on this show with the mother telling the girl that she needs to lose weight really got to me because my mother is always saying things like " you're such a pig,you don't need to eat those chips, I thought you wanted to lose weight!" When she says stuff like that it can be really hurtful I'm a size 1jean and I always feel so self consieous of my body image because of some of the things my mom says to me and she doesn't realize how it affects me.
