Helena WeakleyHey Mtv, My name is Helena and my Fiance’s name is Peter. We are both 20 years old, about to turn 21 and just recently engaged. We would like to be a part of True Life while we officially start our new lives together. Actually more like building a life together. Peter is joining the Air Force and going off to basic some time in the summer of this year. Before he goes we’ll be having a court marriage with just my immediate family. During the 4-5 months he’s gone it’s my job to save, loose 30 lbs., and plan a wedding for after he gets back from tech school in the late fall. I believe our story is interesting to the age group that watches True Life and MTV because we are all trying to start out our adult lives in our own ways. Peter and I have decided to start our lives together as a team before he leaves for Basic. I would love the nation to see how two regular very yuong adults can build a life together using advantages like the millitary and taking hard work opportunities in life.

Deanna CallawayHi, my name is Deanna Callaway I’m 24 years old born in Indianapolis, IN currently living in Milwaukee, WI with no family. I was adopted when I was 2 yrs old being in foster home after foster home because my biological mother was a drug addict, whom I didn’t meet until last year (over the phone) After my brothers suicide. My “mom” and I sent pictures back and forth and tried catching up but lost touch. However she did tell me my biological father’s name and that he does know I exist. I’ve never met either of my parents but I’d love the chance to meet either one of them face to face and when I saw your ad I felt like it was meant for me! I can’t tell you how much it would mean to me find the person who gave me life. Thank you for taking time to read this. 0 Reply January 11, 2014
Joey LivingstonHi to be on true life would be a life changing experience. Nobody knows what happens behind someone’s smile I can show that through my life quite clearly. My dads really sick and through the drugs that he takes to keep him alive he’s angry all the time, and my mom left us for drugs, my grandma is sick with a dieses that’ll kill her and my sister has major depression. At school nobody knows this I’m just a normal jock. I am fourteen turning fifteen May. I want to be an actor but with all that goes on it’ll be hard to get my dream. If you picked my life you would show everyone not to judge by their cover, and to be nice to everyone because they don’t know what’s going on inside their heads. Please atleast consider me, because we could help a lot of people. 1 Reply December 30, 2013

Kailyn HarmelHello, my name is Kailyn but I go by Kai Kai. I think I should be on True Life to show the daily struggles I go through as a competitive cheerleader. All the stress, how it impacts my relationship with my friends and family, and how it impacts me trying to get into a university. I think this would be a good opportunity for my to come out of my shell and make me more open and be able to express how I feel as well. I try to juggle school, cheer, and trying to find a job on a daily basis and it’s very stressful. I think that my story would be very interesting and I’d like to inspire people. I want to show them that even when times get hard you just have to push harder toward your goals. 1 Reply December 8, 2013

Camillia SandersWhat’s up? I’m 26 years old and my boyfriend is 40 years old. Of course my mom and dad doesn’t approve of my relationship because they think he’s way to old for me. So I would be the perfect candidate for this show. I would be hoping to be apart of the show to help make my family a whole. I want my parents to get along with the man I love. They have absolutely no reason to not like him, He bought me a new car, He pays the bills, He supports me while I’m in nursing school and there’s something else that goes along with the story (that my parents don’t know yet) but I won’t reveal it yet. email me for further questions or concerns camilliasanders@gmail.com Thanks for your time Love!!! 1 Reply November 11, 2013
Taryn FennellHello MTV My name is Taryn Fennell. I am 20 years old I am from Boston MA and am currently attending the University of Saint Josephs in West Hartford CT. I think I am facing something that many females and even males may face. I am uncomfortable with my body and the freshmen 15 that I have packed on in the past year hasn’t been of any help. I have always been a heavy set girl but I find myself going to extreme extents to hide myself by buying shirts that are two sizes too big, wearing sweaters and sweat pants. Making it a point to only wear loose shirts so my mid area isn’t outlined through my tops. Now because I am unable to fit into my jeans anymore I only wear stretchy clothes i.e. legging’s, yoga’s and sweat pant.I know this may not seem extreme but to me it is , I have been struggling with my weight for my entire life being teased and now even more insecure than ever. It is consuming my life worrying about what people will think of my weight and my very selective wardrobe of sweats isn’t the greatest. I am really hoping that for my birthday this year you all could help me obtain a complete life style and weight appearance change. This is something that I have always wanted . To be in shape and maybe even wear a bikini. I am only 20 it isn’t fair that I haven’t had the opportunity to wear a bikini and feel good in it. PLEASE HELP ME I AM BEGGING !!!i I have seen the success that you all have had with previous cast and am hoping that MTV is willing to give me that same opportunity. I am ready to commit to a healthy and fit future. 1 Reply November 9, 2013

WhitneyI think it would be good to have a true life episode on teen mothers/pregnancy. I’m 17 years old with a fifteen month old daughter. I graduated a year early and am starting college in January for nursing. In my town, there is literally a community of young mothers and even single young fathers in various situations (married, dating, single, placed baby for adoption, kept baby, living on their own, still living with parents, unemployed, employed, you name it.) We all keep in touch and get together in groups. We can all relate to each other some how; it’s a very good as far as emotional support goes. I’m struggling with dating, finance, college, body image, etc. But even after all the struggles that come along with being a young parent, there are also the rewards that make you feel like it’s all worth it and that’s what gives me faith that everything will be okay. The audience will see the struggles and consequences of having unprotected sex and possibly prevent some viewers from getting into this kind of situation. For the ones that are in the same situation, it could give them a sense of hope and drive for a happy ending in their own lives. For the parents of the teen mothers/fathers, it could help them to understand what their children are really going through. I feel that the teen parent community needs to be looked at from a different perspective than the “Teen Mom” MTV episodes. True Life would be the perfect show for it. 1 Reply October 31, 2013
MandaI would be a perfect person to be able to tell and show everybody how hard it is to care for a sick parent. I don’t think anyone really knows what I am actually going through everyday. Being strong everyday is something I do but I am almost to my breaking point. All of my friends and co-workers just know that my dad is “sick” but there is just no way they know the severity of his illness and how much it has changed, not only his life, but me and the rest of my families lives. I go and go and go everyday, helping with him, helping my grandma, going to work, and going to school. I just don’t think ANYONE knows what it is like to have a sick parent and how bad it hurts to see a parent go through what my dad goes through. I feel like if anyone else was in my shoes, they wouldn’t make it long. AT ALL! Its tough. I want people to know exactly what I am going through and how strong I am being for my family. Just because I am not at work five or six days a week doesn’t mean that I am relaxing or enjoying some “me time” like everybody I work with thinks. IF only they knew! 1 Reply October 29, 2013
Morgan PierceHey MTV, Im looking for away to help others by getting my story out there. Im 20 years old in 2013 my boyfriend died of phenomena, I was raped a few months after. Then got knocked up by my roommate who threatened to leave me hungry and homeless if I had the child. so I had an abortion. after that he became rude and just a jerk to me. I have a fear of new people, and people being in my house. I am afraid to date, and sex is out of the question to me. But in December I turn 21, and am going to try to put this all behind me. I want to show others how to cope and over come obstacles like these. As I try to regain some normalcy in my life. 1 Reply October 28, 2013
jasintoMy name is jasinto Martinez. I am 17 years old and living in Texas. I want to start off by saing that first thing is first, I’m not saying I have had the hardest or toughest time growing up, I always know there’s someone out there who has it worse, but I do know that I get tired of people complaining that a “no” to something is the worst thing in the world. I have the blessing of knowing that what I have is a gift in its own and know how to be humble with what I’ve been dealt. Well right now I’m a senior in high school and plan on taking off to the navy in August. Many people think its dumb and feel its not the nest thing to do, but its what I want to do. I recently just moved back to my hometown after being away for 3 years. During those three years I lived with an uncle who took me in. My brother and sister stayed and both my parents were incarcerated. It hurt me not being able to be there for my siblings when they needed me, but I also needed guidance and found some. Now I’m back and since, my mother has been released and is raising us three on her own, as she has been doing all my life. My dad has been incarcerated since I was 9, but he was really never in the picture before then. Growing up I was raised around things that were not good. I’ve also known alot for someone who was only a kid, I witnessed domestic abuse although I was never part of it. While my mom was in prison, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she has been doing great out here. I’ve been just trying to get oast my senior year in high school and get ready to leave out of here, but before I leave I need to fix things that are broken, that’s my goal, to just make everything right before I leave for good. Because once I leave I dont plan on coming back. Being torn between two cities and two different lifestyles has become hard, especially when I’m at the place i didnt want to come back to, but like mentioned earlier, its the luck of the draw and we must deal with it. Thank you for your time and whether i hear or not from you..well that’s ultimately up to you. Thanks 1 Reply October 27, 2013
AliI’m doubtful that this will go anywhere, but I’ll try anyway. My name is Ally and I’m a college student. I have terrible social anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, OCD and borderline personality disorder. To be honest, the idea of being behind a camera is TERRIFYING because of my anxiety but to be honest, I need help very badly. I have tried multiple therapists, nutritionists, and psychiatrists and no one knows how to help me. I do not want this for attention- I hate attention. All I want is to get the help I need. Maybe something similar to what you did with Rocky on True Life: I’m Getting a Second Chance? I would love to go on a retreat or get a life coach, but my father has cancer and can’t afford such things. College is supposed to be the time of your life…please help me become healthy again. 1 Reply October 23, 2013
DestinyHi MTV, my name is Destiny and I am 21 years old. I would be an amazing candidate for your show, my life is so insane. I am currently pregnant and due at the end of January. I am a recovering drug addict and my parents are not together I do have a step mom and I had a step dad to, he passed away two years ago while my mom was home on her R & R from being over seas on her 3rd tour ( each a year long ) , and she has to return over seas again for her 4th tour in June of 2014, leaving my siblings and I again. My mom has 3 daughters ( including me ) and 1 son and I am the oldest and at my dads I have another sister and brother. My sister Charity just had a daughter last year our daughters will be almost exactly one year apart. The father of my child is also a struggling recovering drug addict, who cant seem to stay on the right path, hes always in trouble, he says he wants to be a father but I don’t know if he actually will be, I always seem to find the men who are abusive and treat me bad , I have a track record for bad decisions, I get on my feet and start doing good and then I always find a way to self sabotage. I just want to get my life going where it needs to be so I can be a good mother and do my best to the role model I want to be and stay sober and stay strong. Thank You for reading this and considering telling my story to the people and helping my family and I. 1 Reply October 21, 2013

Carolyn JohnsonHey, my name is Carolyn and I’m a 25 year old single mother who is fighting to stay sober. I grew up as an only child because my brother died at the age of two on mothers day in 1990. Because of his death I grew up rarely hearing the word no. I became addicted to drugs and alcohol at a young age. I tried everything except a few drugs. I was mainly addicted to cocaine, Xanax, all kinds of pain killers, methadone, and suboxone, and a few others such as alcohol. I gave birth to my son while on 210 milligrams of methadone at age 19. He is very healthy thank God. I met a man who is older than 65 years old and some people like to call him my sugar daddy but I don’t know if I would agree all the way because I try care about him. He paid for 5 treatments for me to get off of drugs. I have spent almost all of last year in treatment however I am still struggling to stay sober. I am sober right now but sometimes I wonder if I can handle being a single mom and still living in the same area if I can maintain this victory of being sober. Ever since I got shot in the face at age 18 by a friend/boyfriend at close range with a BB gun and had to have plastic surgery to restore my face I have wondered if my friends especially men really care about me. I did meet some really good people in my past 5 treatment centers but are they really good for me, or does relapse start with people like this? Will I ever feel like a man really cares about me? Did my brothers death become an underlying issue that contributed to my addiction? Will my son become an addict? I have theories to all these questions and I am more than willing to share more about my story and why I forged a prescription for Xanax and almost went to prison. I do have a hell of a story I would love to share it in hopes i could prevent another young lady from getting pregnant at 19, forging perscriptions just to function, and showing them there is hope!!Please contact me if you want a picture or have questions. Thank you for your time and consideration! 🙂 Carolyn Johnson 1 Reply October 14, 2013
Jessica CodyHello, my name is Jessica and I would like to be considered for MTV’s True Life because I had an amazing, unique and life-changing experience a few years ago: I met my birth father for the first time at age 24. It was something I planned for years to do and it took a ton of courage but I went for it. The experience and what came after had a huge impact on me in ways both negative and positive. Meeting him answered questions I always had about why I am the way I am. I wasn’t looking to have a relationship with him because I was raised with an adoptive father who was good to me and I love, but I ended up developing a relationship with my birth father and his side of the family, including my 3 half siblings on his side and aunts and uncles. I also ended up finding out that my half brother (my birth father’s son) was an actor I had seen before in movies without knowing he was my brother, so that threw me for a loop as well. I think it would be good for me to share my story as an inspiration for others. While the outcome of doing something like this may not always be good, the important thing is to try if you are curious because otherwise you will be left wondering. Other than my birth dad, I ended up becoming very close with my birth father’s brother who struggled with the same drug addiction as me and helped me get sober (he has been sober 23 years). That was a tremendous gift I would never have received had I not had the courage to seek out where I came from. I feel it is my duty to share this experience, for the purpose of helping others and entertaining them as well. 1 Reply October 14, 2013

Edward MiltonHey MTV, My name is Edward Milton I am18 I live in Tampa Bay Florida. I was born with HIV that I contracted from my mother. When I was born I had to go through detox because my mother used cocaine while she was pregnant with me. I was removed from my mother when I was about 2 years old and become a ward of the state of Florida under the guardianship of my aunt. I never knew my mother or my father. My did from cancer when I was in fourth grade and no one is sure who my father is. I was raised by my aunt and I consider her my mom and she raised me and my sister by herself. My whole life I had to live with a big secret that is also a huge aspect of my life but I don’t want to hide it any more. In 2006 I found out I had a half brother and in the summer of 2013 I finally met him for the first time and the funny thing is our schools were only 100 yards apart. I am now pursuing a bachelor of science degree in Psychology on scholarship. And that’s a little about me. 0 Reply September 17, 2013

Amber LarsenMy name is Amber Marie Larsen, I am 20. I am emailing today in hopes that somebody will read this and help me to change my life for the better. I find that my past traumas are keeping me in a never ending cycle. I wish to seek help in moving past the emotional and physical abuse. Here are a few examples:-My father’s struggle with alcohol and suicidal tendencies and home neglect while growing up, and my fear that he is going to die alone -My mother was hardly around and struggled with alcohol and substance abuse. She would bring me to bars and drug dealers homes and this resulted in me being molested at the age of 12, by a cross-dressing man that my mother had left me by so she could deal drugs.In attempt to get my mother to stay on a different occasion, i told her i would do crack cocain with her and not tell anyone. While being 12, and in seventh grade, I began to prostitute myself to the cross-dressing man because i did not have the resources to continue my addiction to crack. I overcame my addiction by the age of 13, with no resources because i could not tell anyone.-When i was 18 years old, i decided to tell my mother about the cross-dressing man and what really had happend. her response was “did you like it?”When i was 15 and living in my cousins basement, her husband invaded my privacy. He wired a webcam from his computer through the basement floor. Because he had no recorded evidence, the charges were dropped and he got a slap on the hand.At 16 i had been homeless, placed in a childrens group home, and stuggling with an abusive lesbian relationship. I had been hospitalized for a suicide attempt and shaved my head, I want to move past all the past hurt and pain, and be proud of me. I have been struggling with a life i dont understand, please help me. 0 Reply August 24, 2013

Lucy Monroe SanHey my name is Lucy Monroe San. I am 16 years old and I live in Westborough Massachusetts. I was originally born a male, but currently am transitioning to be female. I look and act like a girl so I consider myself one. I can’t go a day without someone asking if they know me or that they have seen me before. I think that is because I’m so popular on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. I have 1,253 followers on Instagram, 1,720 friends on Facebook, 330 followers on Twitter and 7,121 followers on Tumblr. I’m very outgoing, sweet, and to the point. I can also be a fire cracker at times. There is ALWAYS drama in my life and I would like to capture my life on film so people can experience what I go through and know who I am better than what is online. I just want to branch out from the internet world and for people to love the real me I’m VERY VERY popular online, at school, and basically everywhere I go I’m the center of attention mainly for my posts, personality, and for my beauty. People think I’m a model, actress, or celebrity in general. I believe I was born to model, sing, and act. I get hit on by men constantly everywhere I go in reality and online. I believe that my popularity online stems from my beauty and personality. I get asked all the time why I am so popular online and by people all the time. Everyone in my town knows me and my business. Also a large amount of people in Massachusetts know me along with people from different states who I don’t even know at all. Only because I recently got out of an eating disorder clinic and kept up to date online while I was in treatment by posting photos and statuses. I’m seen as an inspiration and icon for overcoming anorexia/bulimia and for looking like Marilyn Monroe and having a unique style. I think the challenges I have faced in my life like being in the hospital for so long, being ridiculed by society, and being myself by standing up for what I believe in definitely brought attention and popularity to me. I honestly tend to feel more confident physically and mentally online and when people compliment me on my popularity, beauty, and when they give me attention. I crave it. It’s like an obsession. I need to b e more popular than everyone and I want to get help for it too because it has been consuming my life. I like to consider myself the “brunette Marilyn”. I’ve been contacted by celebrities, stylists, and bloggers who all adore me and mys style based on what they see. I’m tired of living in a small town life and I want to be noticed not for my popularity online, but for who I am and who I can be. Being on the show would really change my life and hopefully better it for the future.

Angela WaltmanHello my name is Angela Waltman and I have a very interesting, crazy story to share!!! Get ready because my story still has me in shock to this day!!!! In October 2011 I found out I was pregnant. At the time I was a nursing student living on a college street and roomed with 5 girls. Six months prior to moving in with these college girls I had moved out of my on and off again boyfriend’s house. During that six months I moved to my mom’s house. I realized I had an UNHEALTHY emotional attachment to my on/off again boyfriend that I wanted to be free of. So I figured what better way to get over an old lover, then to move in a party house with all girls 30 minutes away from my ex?!?! During the short period I lived there, I had still allowed myself to be emotionally attached to my ex and withdrew myself from my roomates. I was still unable to get over him!! Three months after I lived with the college girls I found out I was pregnant! I was in complete shock because it had been months since I had intercourse with my ex which meant I had been pregnant for a long time and didn’t know. My initial reaction was extreme worriedness for the baby because I had been drinking and taking Adderall throughout the pregnancy. I called my ex boyfriend and cried to him when I told him the news. I told him I wanted an abortion. I am embarrassed to say I would ever consider that and WOULD NEVER consider that again after having a baby of my own. My ex told me that abortion was wrong and he would tell everyone if I got one. So I decided to keep the baby and try to make things work with him as bizzare and scary it sounded. If I couldn’t get over him maybe this will be the answer to everything (wishful thinking)!! So I moved back in with my boyfriend and after we told everyone the news, I was already 4 months pregnant! During my pregnancy my due dates weren’t matching up to the last time I had intercourse with my boyfriend so I convinced myself that the clinic had my due dates wrong. I hibernated all winter long eating my brains out and fantasizing over a perfect family. During my pregnancy things were still rough with my boyfriend. He was exactly the same person I had left the first time and I always felt unappreciated, unloved, and unimportant. I decided to dismiss those feelings because I wanted so badly to stay together for the baby and work out our problems. May 17 I delivered my beautiful healthy boy, WESLEY! He was gorgeous and looked just like ME! I loved everything about being a mother! A week after I delivered I started my nursing clinicals which caused stress in my relationship. Being a new mom and a nursing student was tough work and my boyfriend was not doing his fair share. I constantly picked up his slack and felt like he wasn’t making me or the baby a priority. He wasn’t the dad I thought he’d be nor did we have the family I wanted. The stressors led to terrible fights between us that involved screaming. We were sleeping in different rooms and had no communication at all. I was miserable, felt trapped, and had post partum depression. Three months after Wesley was born I decided to move back into my mom’s trailer because I thought it would be best for me and Wesley. I didn’t want Wesley to see or hear us fight since we couldn’t control ourselves. I figured I do everything by myself anyways so moving into my mom’s meant I had nothing to loose and hoped to gain happiness again. Things between me and my ex only spiraled out of control after I moved out. My ex only saw Wesley less and less and made more attempts to think of himself instead of Wesley. This only made my life harder because my ex was never around to help me because he was too busy sleeping in or doing nothing important. 7 months later I was innocently dating while he was spending his nights drunk at the bar and going home with girls he had just met. I still was not over him though. I forced myself to try to start dating to help my psychotic brain from being conquered by my ex. My moms trailer was small so I decided to move to my friends house who lived closer to my school. During the move I was filing for child support and custody. The custody battle was beginning to look intense! When my ex received the custody papers he hired a lawyer who suggested a DNA test be done since me and my ex were not married ever. TURNS OUT……he was NOT the father! I was in complete and utter shock! I was devastated and felt so guilty for hearting my ex and his family. I felt like I shattered soooo many hearts and I had no control over it. My worst fear was true…I may have been date raped when I lived with the college girls. It was an experience that I was unsure of what happened and somehow found ways to erase what I “didn’t know” out of my mind. One night when I got really drunk with my best friend Emily at the bar, I invited a boy named Dan back to our house for a party. When me and Emily got to the house there was no party so we went to my room which was on the 3rd floor. Emily immediately started puking so I helped hold her hair back. I remember Dan came walking into my room and began helping me with Emily. He helped me lift her onto my futon which didn’t work so we covered her in blankets on the floor. After that, I have no memory of anything!!!! Sounds crazy but I blacked out because I can’t remember ANYTHING! I woke up the next morning in my pajamas at the edge of my bed. I wondered if Dan did anything to me sexually while I was intoxicated but there was no evidence. I was clothed and saw no condom wrappers so I went on with life as if nothing had happened. Emily had a hangover all day. I drank just as much yet for some reason I felt GREAT! I was giddy and happy and felt like I was floating all day while Emily was a sick mess! I couldn’t understand why I didn’t have my typical hangover instead felt HIGH! At the time I didn’t think anything of it. Looking back I’m wondering if that was a side effect of a date rape drug possibly? I’m not sure, I just know I can’t remember anything so I assumed nothing had happened since I woke up clothed. When I found out my ex was not Wesley’s father it had hit me that “Dan” was the father and my worst fear was true that I had avoided thinking about ever again. There is no one else, it has to be Dan and something did happen that night. I do not know his last name but Dan has a 1 year old son he does not know about. Well….true life…this is where you come into action! In the next two months I plan on hiring a private investigator to help me track down the “Dans” that went to that college that semester. Once I find him, I will decide for myself if he should be involved with Wesley. A criminal background check will be done. I’m not sure if Dan did date rape me but it is a possibility so I’m skeptical about this guy. One day Wesley will want to know who his real father is so I decided to find Dan for my son. For all I know “Dan” is a great, successful guy or he is a rapist. Maybe I willingly had sex with Dan and was blacked out the entire time? Or maybe I was passed out and he took advantage of me? Help me find out true life! SO true life come follow me as I find my son’s father and decide if and how I will tell him he has a son. If I decide he is a decent guy, then I will surprise him with the most shocking thing of his life! I would love to catch him walking out of a grocery store and I approach him with Wesley and say “YOU HAVE A SON!!!” To see his expression would be priceless. He wakes up one day and finds out he has a 1 year old son will be enough to see lots of emotion and drama! He deserves a shock after all the shock I have dealt with. I no longer have my ex in Wesley’s life because my ex was so hurt and I thought it be best everyone went their separate ways. The custody battle came to a quick end and I was actually relieved in the end that my ex was not the father because I avoided all the split custody. His family say terrible things about me and tell everyone that I knew all along. They called me awful names and I have never felt so much anger, guilt, shame, relief, shock, and sadness all in one. I can’t imagine the pain my ex and his family are going through to find out Wesley wasn’t any relation to them. My heart bleeds for them but I truly did not know and was In complete avoidance about that night. TRUE LIFE…find me…follow me….my life has always been an unpredictable movie…I’m ready to share my story and my experience that will change my life forever! 0 Reply July 29, 2013
Vinter SorensenHey,I wish I could apply and be on the show, but I doubt the other person involved would give me an ok. However, I haven’t asked. “True Life: I am Dating a Celebrity” would be the topic I would propose. It is hard to date someone that is told “yes” all the time by nearly everyone; also, it is quite a bit of pressure, but so far it has been worth it! Although, no one quite understands what it is like and therefore it gets pretty lonely at times.Best <3 0 Reply July 28, 2013

Karessa SaulsHi MTV, . My name is Karessa Sauls. I am a 24 year lesbian living in Bowie Maryland. I play womens tackle professional football and i work for a worldwide security company. I was in the u.s army for.3 years and played divison 1 basketball in Houston Texas. Sounds amusing doesn’t but my life doesnt stop there i live with my grandparents who and christians and very judgmental about my sexuality. They believe ill never amount to anything continuing the way i live. Im only giving short details on everyday life for me. From being judged from complete stranger’s to my own flesh and blood because of who i choose to love it causes me to sometimes drink excessively because im feeling guilty for something i cant explain. Even when i show my face chruch im frowned upon but if im not mistaken if people.out here judgin me are such christians then they would also know that in the bible its told to love one another. Not to judge . I know that im not the only person goin threw this particular situation and if my story can help someone else that would be my main mission along with helping me find myself. 0 Reply July 25, 2013
Jonna StroupHi my name is Jonna, I am a 22 year old female. For many years now I have been dealing with Emetophobia. For those of you that don’t know what Emetophobia is, it is an intense fear of vomit. It controls my daily life and beginning to put a strain on my relationship. I am 5’3 and I used to weigh 140lbs, but because of my phobia I now weigh 108lbs. I hardly ever eat or go out to eat because I fear that I will get food poisoning and that I will throw up. I don’t go to amusement parks, clubs, I don’t use public restrooms, and I never drink. I wash my hands 24/7 in fear that I will catch a virus. I also I refuse to take anxiety medicine because the side affects say “nausea or vomiting”. If I have a minor stomach ache, I immediately start to fear that I might throw up which leads to panic attacks. If anyone feels or even looks sick around me I will start panicking. I am so tired of having panic attacks, and running away screaming every time someone throws up. The list goes on, and it is a never ending battle. I know there are other people out there going through the same thing. I just want them to know that they are not alone. 0 Reply July 23, 2013
KeanaHi my name is Keana, I am 18, and recently moved to Santa Barabara from a small town in Virginia. I think I would be a good candidate for your show. I say this because I recently moved here and have absolutely no one. I am all by myself and think this would be the prefect opportunity to show everyone the day in the life of myself and what it’s like to depend on yourself for absolutely EVERYTHING. Teaching yourself a way through life without anyone or anything. I think by showing people what it’s like to be me would open the eyes if people who get everything handed to them and don’t have to worry about a thing. It will also show people that even though your lost in life you still have a chance to learn about life and make something if yourself no matter what the circumstance may be. 0 Reply July 23, 2013

We got married three years ago while he was in jail,an me an our son talk evryday to my husband and visit him as often as we can. During his tine away ive dekt with alcoholism an quit drinking an now am having a bout with opiates. Ive been trying so hard to get through life and do the right things,i really hope u take my idea into consideation,even if im not right for tje show i still really think this woyld be a great show idea because of how close to hone this issue is, there are so many people in the US that have a spouse or family member incarcerated. Thanks in advance for your time an consideration. 0 Reply July 21, 2013

Jessica LopezMy name is Jessica Lopez, I am galf native american and half mexican. I work at a local Tribal Casino as a bartender which I love,i also think that would make agreat show,behind the scenes at a bar watching the cocktail waitresses and bartenders create tv magic would make for great tv, but the real reason im writing in is Im a single parent due ro my husband beingincarcerated. Hes been in prison fo fice years an has two more to go,we have a nine year old son together and hav been married for three years,yes we got married while he was on jail. I cannot say its been easy but ive tried my best, ive dealt with depression, addictions, lonliness, but at the same time kept a full time job attended college,and religiously visited and talk to my husband evryday,i just really beleive this show would help so many people that go through the same thing i do everyday,an for smeone to shine a little light n the matter would mean so much,even if im not on the show i really hope you take my idea seriously since it is reality for myself and many others,thank you for your time and consideration. 0 Reply July 18, 2013

DanielleMy name is Danielle. As a baby my parents were drug addicts. So I grew up with my grandmother. After she lost her home my brothers and I hopped place to place. As a young girl experiencing a homeless life I decided not to be like my parents. As a typical teenager I goofed off at school and eventually got pregnant. Then I finally buckled down. Got my GED. Now have my own place, which is actually a dump but its affordable. I work, go to school and take care of my 3 year old daughter. Her biological father isn’t there. I’m doing it all on my own. Maybe I could be an inspiration to alot of single parents out there. I may not have the greatest life, or have alot of things but Im doing what my parents didn’t. Now Im providing a home for my mom (who is now sober and clean) and my brother. My dad passed away 3 years ago from drugs. Thank you for taking the time to read what I have to say. 0 Reply June 27, 2013
April GrayWhat’s up MTV, my name is Da’Shell Gray and I think I should be on this show because they’re a lot of people who are in situations like mine. In a relationship or marriage where there is no trust because of all the lies and cheating,then your marriage or relationships are ruined because it longer has any foundation. Now that I am ready to do right by my wife, she’s putting g me through hell because I’ve hurt her to bad and all we do is fight and argue now…. Here’s my story. I am a bisexual woman who recently got married to my wife Dana… I’m 22 and she’s 23. Dana and I have been together a year and a half. We meet during our incarceration. We were best friends in the beginning, then what we felt for each other grew into a beautiful remarkable relationships… We weren’t together long before I cheated on her and began lying about everything I had done…..now everything is coming to the light and we fallen apart but I’m trying to hold on to what we have but she s not so willing to trust me any more and she gives me hell on a regular bases…please cast me on the show to show the world what its like in lesbian marriage when its broken..april.alady2@yahoo.com 0 Reply June 23, 2013
