Tyra! You're awesome. I don't think people can say that enough. Being a male, I can totally understand and see your focus toward a female audience. They're certainly going through much more "taboo" issues than males, and I'm all for that. Today's show was .. interesting, I guess you could say. What bothers me the most, is, I've been put through a similar situation by a female. In your shows, your guests, albeit unintentionally, sort of blames males for peer pressure, etc. When I was in a ceramics class, this girl and I were staying after school, and we went into the kiln room where we put our pieces to vitrify and come out from clay, to ceramic. Anyway, needless to say, she shut the door, locked it, turned out the light.. and used her cell phone light to see around and get toward me. This probably isn't a good explanation, or what have you. But, being a male, I'd really like to see more about male teens whom were pressured by females, to do something they didn't want to. Thanks. You're Awesome. Keep on truckin' strong.

Hey Tyra. I love your show and feel compelled to write in this blog. As teens we go through so much more now than what our parents did. I am 19 years old and have to say that I am still struggling with a decision I made. It was not an easy one to make however I did it and I can not change it. I had an abortion in April when I was 6 weeks pregnant. Tyra, it was the worst thing I think I have ever done and the worst thing I probably will ever do. I was in a relationship (or at least I thought I was) and took my chances by not using protection. I was probably better off playing the lottery. Well, I was talking to a 25 year old guy from work and one thing lead to the other. This went on for months until I received news I was pregnant. My whole future flashed in front of me. I was in my first year of college and had big plans ahead of me. He had a son whom he struggled with and was barely making it himself. I thought the abortion would make everything better. Yeah right. I woke up from what felt like 2 hours crying in pain. Not from the procedure but from the loss. My Appleseed was no longer part of me. I ended up detaching from my social surroundings. I ended up missing my finals and failing my classes. Sleepless nights and horrific nightmares. But, who was I kidding? I had to get back up and put an "H" on my chest and handle it because at the end of the day it was my decision. Tyra it takes two to tangle. I had every right to say NO

I just turned 18 and I've been struggling with an eating disorder for almost 8 years now and I'm done. I recently got out of treatment and had to gain weight that is driving me insane. I'm tired of doing this so I'm either going way into my disorder and I'm going to die or I'm going to get rid of it completly. I know it sounds like an easy desicison but it is most definatly NOT. Having had anorexia for almost a decade it has become my identity. I am not myself I AM Anorexia. If anyone has any tips on how to want to get rid of this I would greatly appreciate it.

To Emily, you said whenever the audience says "awww," about a baby that you cannot agree with them because the girls chose to have a baby. Just because the child's mother is a teenager doesn't mean the baby isn't cute. I am a teen mom, and my baby is gorgeous, I have had four offers from talent scouts for her to be a baby model. I had her accidentally, I am still with the father and I have been with him for over three years. I don't care if people look at me and pass negative judgment on me because of my decision, but don't take anything away from my child!

HEYY TYRAA!!!!! I absolutely love you and your show however, I agree 100% with a previous post I have read. I believe you do these shows with good intentions, however when you are constantly lending a criticizing ear rather than an understanding one it defers the person from feeling comfortable when talking to you and possibly prevents others from stepping up to ask another adult for help, or simply sharing their feelings. The teens on the stage represent the majority in todays society and rather than intimidate them you need to come from a non-judgemental place in order to help them and teens world-wide in the same predicament as them.
