I also know how it feels. When I was young I went to a 3 room cathlic school in a small town and then at 7th grade went to a public school, and I was extremely shy. we were poor so I didn't have the nice clothes other kids had so I was teased alot. Then as I got older I corn detasseled to buy clothes for school but still being shy, still got teased. I wasn't ugly really but didn't know how to really do my hair and makeup; some boys called me a dog and would bark at me. That stays with you. It kills any confidence you have in your self. I'm better now but still feel unattractive with out the hair and make-up.
 
Hey Tyra, I know exactly how the insecure girls feel. I used to be rather confident, but now I have eczema all over my face. It's basically this really red, swollen rash that won't go away. It's partially environmental allergies (stuff inside and outside the house), as well as things like climate, humidity, dry skin, stress, and hormones. I can't control it and once I think I have, it comes back due to things I can't control. I hate it so much because my face is always red and has these swolllen patches on it. OMG it's so embarasssing! Plus, sometimes I don't sleep at night because it's so itchy that i'm up all night scratching. The only way to kind of keep it under control is to put a ton (and I mean a ton) of vaseline on my face, like every hour or even 2-3 times an hour to keep it semi-controlled. I'm always either self-conscious about the redness of the rash or the greasiness of my face! Just by looking at me, you can tell I'm self-conscious because I try to look down or away from people when I can, I try not to talk to people unless it's absolutely necessary, and when I walk or sit at school, i often hide my face. I just want this eczema to go away!!! I'M SO FED UP WITH THIS!!
 
Hey Tyra, I just wanted to thank you for doing this topic on your show, I know so many girls including myself that have very low self confidence and watching this episode has really made me think about how lucky i am to look the way i do. I dont have the perfect body, nor do i have perfect skin or face. Although after watching this episode I do feel a little better about myself. Im always told how beautiful i am but i never believe it, and its really hard for me to take a compliment because of how i do feel about myself. Anyways, i really hope you do more episodes like this one. Thanks again!!
 
Hola Tyra, I'm 25 and would like to say that I love your show and the three girls you had on and remove there make-up were beautiful. I understand where they come from I've always had bad achne and refuse to go anywhere without my make-up. My boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful and I just dont see it but after watching the show and the young woman with the scar was beautiful and it helped me a little. Love you Tyra

If you really want a solution to skin scars you should try microcurrent--it really works just go to duiclinique.com to see how it works read articles and before & after photos its all the rage in europe/UK. But if you cant get to Europe you can go to Goddesrepairshop.com who have spas in LA and NY! This really does work just drink plenty of water and it will work! ps works for cellulite and wrinkles too if interested. I know you should love your flaws but nobody understands the daily and emotional turmoil of living with a facial scar or scars. As much as Tyra would like to tie it up into a nice love yourself/body bow--its just not that simple. I hope I have helped somebody with this information. If anybody has any questions about microcurrent I will gadly direct you to more information concernign microcurrent.
 
Dear Tyra, my name is tasha,i watch your show when i can,and absolutely love it.you are the most inspireing woman ive seen,words cant describe how amazing a person you are,inside and out with everything you do.todays show made me cry a bit,i could relate alot.I dont wanna make myself sound sad,but ive felt ugly my whole life,ive got a very large forhead,my 2 front teeth are really crooked and when i smile i look funny/stupid,so i try not to,or i cover my mouth when i do and keep my lips closed,im 4'11 going on 20yrs old,ive done some bad things in my past im not proud of at all,ive grown up from it,but others seem to not wanna let it go,i live in a very small town,so to me its like everyone is always looking at me,everyones always thinking 'oh there goes that girl'.. with everyone i see,no matter what may be wrong with them,i look at how beautiful they are or something that stands out,and always think there better then me because of some reason,they have a nice smile,nice hair,then there obviously better then me,ive never had a high self esteem,and things in life havent helped,and i blame myself now,and i feel like im just at the bottom.I try and think possitive sometimes and some days are good,i feel ok.but that lasts for maybe a day or 2 and im back to just being down and feeling ugly all the time,and it taking a tole on my relationship because im always thinking hes looking at other girls and thinking there better then me,and i think well why is he even with me..like that girl is really pretty,probably smart,nice,responsable,and hes hot,so he'd have no problem getting a better girl,and its eating at my mind and my heart and emitions that
 
I know how they feel I feel ugly! I always wear my hair down cause i have a birth mark on my face. So i try to cover it cause theni know people wont see it and think like eww what is that thing on her face! I don't know what to do i try to cover it up with make up but it doesnt help!
 
Hello Tyra, I know exactly how these girls feel, i cant go anywhere without my contacts and likewise my hair mostly done up in weave, i know he root problem likewise i havent come to terms with my faults............im 19 and feel theres so much wrong with me though everyone else sees beauty...........Im confident in mostly all i do except for how i look though i've learned to cover it up which is worked for me however i want to be ok with myself................i dont know what to do......:-)
 
hi Tyra, i have a big problem it have to do with my inner thighs they rubs together,and this has left me with a discoloration,i have tried all kinds of products,and no result,i have even been to the dr.and spend hundred of dollars,and nothing please Tyra can you help me. Thank you Debbie
 
I am actually writing to Amanda, however there was no place to comment for her. She looks so much like Drew Barrymore, it was amazing. She is absolutely beautiful and I wonder if anyone has told her that she resembles someone she probably believes is beautiful. If not, I just did. Life is to short to be so caught up with our looks, God made us in the likes of him we need to remember that and God is beautiful!!! Tyra, I love what you are doing for our children, God put us here to love one another and that is difficult if we cant love ourselves. The world needs more like you. GOD BLESS YOU!!! In my prayers that you continue to help better Gods children. Sincerly, Becah
 
This show seriously made me angry to watch. I am a person that loves to be tan..and I go one month during the winter just to keep a little color when I cant get a natural tan..but I cant see wasting your money 12 months out of the year to tan..when if you go out in the spring/summer..you will get a TAN that you DON'T have to pay for. And the girl with the make up theory about being ugly...I always wore make up..up until my senior year of high school (i'm 21 currently)..now if I get a break out..well..I DEAL WITH IT! Dont sit there hiding behind the things that make you feel ugly..get over yourself and be natural not materialistic!

Thanks for having the "Rock Your Ugly" show. Like a lot of others who commented, I related the most to the girl who had insecurities about her body, who didn't want to marry her boyfriend. I pretty much feel the same exact way she does. Every time I look in the mirror, I just focus on how disgusting I look. I have told my boyfriend that he deserves better too. Although it is sad and horrible to think that way, I do feel like that. It was comforting for me to know that I am not alone, and that other people feel like I do. So... thanks!
