Should teens be able to strip?

On this show, Tyra speaks with a teen who is legally able to strip in some states due to a loophole in the law. The teens father also joins Tyra to talk about why he thinks his daughter has chosen this lifestyle and how he really feels about it.

Then, we meet a couple whose constant PDA's (Public Displays of Affection) have their friends reeling. They confront the couple on The Tyra Show to let them know that enough is enough!

Plus, Tyra introduces us to a couple who claims the other takes way too long to get ready to go out. She puts them to the test in The Tyra Show's very first high maintenance obstacle course.

Tell us: Who takes longer to get ready in your house? Are you high maintenance?

NEXT: Is Your PDA Appropriate?

I know this girl, she danced at a club I worked at by the name of Munchie, and the second time by the name of Bliss. She is NOT sixteen years old. She started dancing at this club. I can not say what she did for money before she started dancing. At our club a person must be 18 to dance. My boss still has copies of her ID on file. She is of age.

This show was absolutely heartbreaking to me. The fact that your father allows you to do it and keeps his mouth shut is whats heartbreaking. But then again, probably the reason she's a stripper. Where's the parent?

it doesn't matter how old a girl is,they can do whatever they want to. its their lifes. no one can tell them how to live it and i think its wrong for people to judge them and make them change who they are and what they believe in. for somone to do that is wrong!!!

She's not 16. Don't believe everything you see on the television, just because it gets good ratings people!!

No way....No sixteen year olds shud be doing that.I mean im still sixteen, are we not still kids living at home and being taken care by parents or family.Its almost a form of sexual abuse to have 40 year old looking at 16 years for real what do you thinks running through there heads, oh what a pretty lil girl she reminds me of my daughter...plzzzzzzz Honestly the father needs to stand up and be a man and tell his daughter the road shes taken is a very hard life, ya there mayb money but in the end you end up with a hardened heart. There is some pretty bad things going on in this mans head that he cant see what his daughter is doing isnt healthy

No way!

I dont think so because there are things in that indristry that a 16yr old should not be around.Things in it that may be inertaduced to them they might noy understand or are mentaly not ready for. 16yr olds are inicent in some asspect and are not old enough to be in that kind of work enviroment.
