Hi tyra I have a friend that I am really close with who keeps pushing me into having sex with him. I think I like him but I don't want to have sex with. I don't know anything about his past. I don't even know if I should go out with him. I am 15. I don't know if u will read this but it really helped me by sharing this.
 
hey tyra, i just finished watching your show about teen sex.i started having sex at 14,which im not proud of.However i have made a worse decision since then. I was in a relationship for about a year.He refused to work and treated me horibly.I decided i wanted to have a baby to try and bring us closer together and help him grow up, but dont get me wrong, i love my son more than anything.Unfortunatly the big news ment we needed more money,so he decided to sell drugs. i was so scared my hole pregnancy that he would get caught and our child would be taken away.long story short,he sold drugs right up until the baby was about 3 or 4 months old. after the baby was born we no longer had a sex life, so he started raping me.it's 15 months later and about 3 months ago i finally got the courage to leave.im happy now and your show today has made me decide i want to join some sort of group to help teens make the right decisions when it comes to sex.
 
Hey Tyra. Im watching your show right now, about your survey. I was a teen mom. I'm now 22 and have 2 beautiful children, but I just wanted to say, I can't believe some of these girls. Maybe it's because I'm looking back on my own life, and if I was guaranteed, that I could get the same 2 children again, I would go back and do it all over again. At 18 I was a single mom, going to high school full time, working full time night shift, trying to take care of a 1 year old and hold down an apartment. The father of my first child is no longer around, and I am currently living with the father of my second, but even to this day, I'm kicking myself, because I'm struggling to find the money to go back to college, so that I have a career so that I am able to support my children on my own, if anything where to happen. Girl's you really need to think. If you want to take care of a baby, BABYSIT SOMEONE ELSES!!! Get your schooling, get a good job, because you never know, you may get a chance to travel the world, make lots of money and have fun with your friends. Plus there's all those college parties, and spring breaks that you'll miss out on if you have to take care of a baby.

I love your show tyra and I am not embarrassed to say that. keep being the role model that you are and I love this story I can't wait to see it, I am seventeen and I'm afraid I have been involved in many regrets but now I see the wrongs of my ways and I try my best to correct my actions.
 
tyra, im glad you talk about drinking, drugs and violence. its very hard to share it with someone and i can't believe 10,000 teens girls shared these storie, and im glad all these teens trust youa bout this subject, i do. im only 14 and i aways watch your show when i can. i admire you and how you help so many people. your show helps me get away from some family problems and it inspires me to want to help people like you do. your someone every young teen should look up to!! please keep on doing your awesome show.
 
Tyra am in Antigua W.I (The Caribbean) and I just cant seem to see the show any more; i really wanted to see this Thursday's show cause i know i would have learned alot. Maybe its on at a different time , am not sure. Continue doing your blessed work with the young persons.
 
Lily ur wrong. Same sex couples can have kids to. They can adopt or have one genetically engineered. Same sex couples can heve a happy family. The mom shouldn't discriminate. Plus not everyone the mom runs into is going to have the same belefs as her and sfe shuldnt force the religion on anyone.
 
you say you were raised in a religious family and your supporting gay marriage its ok everyone has there own opinion so why dont you let the girls mom have her own opinion and if you really were raised with a religious family then you would understand the mom because the reason she doesnt agree is b/c of religious matter. you cant have kids girl on girl right you also cant have kids guy on guy correct the whole summary of a happy family is mother father and kids and thats why its meant to be girl and boy. the vowel are husband and wife.
