I think I am forming a eating disorder. For about a month now I have been eating alot and then throwing it up. I still refuse to call it bulimia, since I don't actually ever put my finger/toothbrush/ect. down my throat to throw up - instead it just happens when I think about it. I don't want to stop. I just realized I weight 110, I want to weight 100. My mom had bulimia when she was my age and I feel really guilty, I could stop if I wanted probably. I just don't want to.

I'm 13 and I think I have it bad for a fresh teen. My mom takes care of my 94 year old grand aunt with alzheimer's, and when my mom isn't home all the weight goes on me.My 17 year old sister is going through some boyfriend issues and when her and my mom are in the same room, it's like world war 3 is about to start. And in addition, my dad lives in Philly along with my "brother" so It can be very hard at times. Going to school and having to keep my home problems away from my school life can be very stressful.I just don't think that I should have to deal with my mom and my sister's arguing and take care of my grand aunt.My mom tells me that I can get something if I keep my grades up, but then when I see what my finale grades might look like, I put even more sterss on myself.I just feel like everything is just falling down on me, but then I think about other teens that are going through even worse times. I don't really talk about my feelings to people but the only person who I really would, would be Tyra! -Monie J.

I'm bi,14,and i did drugs like over 3 or 2 months ago.i regret it.my parents are against gays.it's really hard to come out that I'm bi i just told my friends but not family.girls in my school aren't virgins which is gross and many of them do nasty things for drugs or money or attention but I'm not like that. many girls again go through self-esteem problems like their weight and how they look and etc. if they get offended they will do more drugs,smoke,and drink.i just want girls to stop worrying about their body and i want them to stop doing all that stuff too.since i am straight edge since i stayed clean i just want girls to like themselves and stop parting with stuff like that cause i know they will do anything for a "hot" guy.

Tyra I so enjoy your show when I get a chance to watch it. Today I watched your show and had many feeling arise within that I believed I have dealt with. As an adult ( now 29 years old) and teenage mom (at the age of 16) I could relate to some of what your panel shared today. Most times we as young girls are missing that positve male role model that assures us that we are worth it. We tend to equate sex for love and that is a problem. As a Therapist at a Mental Health Outpatient Clinic I am finding it useful to share my story. It is my hope that my story will be useful to someone else. I must say I am one of the success stories of teen pregnancy, but am fully aware that there are some who do not have a fighting chance and lack the resources to survive the life altering changes that occur when you become a teen parent. I would love to be a guest on your show or be a mentor behind the scenes to some of your guest who are trying to make it. You made a comment today about how society often makes it okay once the baby is born. That may be true, however we must let our young girls know that it is safe to talk about it no matter what. I hid my pregnancy from my family for 7 1/2 months because I was ashamed and embrassed. The stress of it all sent me into pre-term labor. Because of my shame I put my child and myself in harms way. I did not receieve any prenatal care and often battled within myself with what I would do with her/"it" once "it" was born.

Korie, I was wondering the samee thingg. I'm kind of happy it was censored though, I probably would have tried to get it from the store on the way home from school on Monday. Awesome show Tyra, stick to the survey and realistic shows, not the cosmetic, make-over, topics.
