    Hey MTV,
    I am currently in high school.High School is nothing I ever thought it would be.Trying to make friends is a lot harder when you just moved in the state.But playing sports have defiantly changed the way I look at high school.You automatically find your friends.But out of school I feel like a totally different person because the things I do.I guess it’s the thought of trying to fit in.

  6. Sabiha

    Hello,
    I would like to do strange anxiety episode. I have a problem called “restaurant anxiety.”
    This makes me unable to eat or even sit in a restaurant. If I go in and watch people eating around me and I see my huge meal, I get extreme anxiety. It literally runs my life. When we have food in the office for a special occasion, I have to literally sit in my car and eat. When we have happy hours, I literally don’t take any food. I throw up violently afterwards, and I get a huge knot in my stomach. My family and friends find it so abnormal and weird, and really make me feel bad about it. i would love to share my story. I felt alone my whole life because of this, and I want to let other young people know that it happens, and we should try our best to move on and accept it. I’ve tried everything and keep saying next time it will be OK, just order a small meal. But no matter what I always throw up for a long time. It is something at 24 that I finally learned to accept about myself. It’s so bad that we don’t even go on vacation because of the extreme anxiety I suffer. It runs my life is so many ways, and i want to be able to tell my story.

    True Life: I need/ am getting a dental makeover

    Since my childhood years and up until this day, I have suffered from a terrible smile due to not getting adequate dental care. Unfortunately my parents did not have the resources to take me to a dentist when I was younger, and I am now suffering the severe consequences of not getting my teeth cared for – everything from stress, anxiety, and depression to lonliness and poor self-esteem.

    I work in a legal field as an Administrative Assistant to a highly reputable attorney, and proper hygiene is paramount in this field. I do not date or have any friends due to my unhappiness and isolation, and am at the point where I soend my weeknights and weekends crying because I am so unhappy. I do not have the money to afford the costly procedures, and my insurance does not cover what is needed to get done.

    My teeth are brittle, thin, cracked, broken, and missing.

    My birthday is in a few weeks and the only gift I want is to have my confidence back. To document this journey of gaining my smile back would be the most wonderful feeling in the world and I would be eternally grateful if MTV provided the opportunity for me to share my story.

  13. Malori

    My name is Malori and I would like to do a show on something that is either very fun yet goog stressful, which is planning a wedding, I had gotten engaged to my fiance and we are in the process of planning our wedding. It is crazy and fun and just very good stressful.
    I also have another thought for a show Titling I have PCOS ( polycystic ovarian syndrome) and I have just been diagnosed with this after six plus years of going through doctors and tests and everything else under the Sun. Either one of the shows has been a crazy up hill down hill battle. Whether it was for good or it was not for good or it was still a battle like experience that I did and am still experiencing. I know both types of shows are way different from 1 another but I would like to share either one with everybody out there that mean need help with anything that I have gone through or I’m doing regarding my PCOS or the planning of this wedding.

  15. Ivana

    I think you should do a true life on people who went to prison for another persons crime. I spent three years of my life in prison because someone who just commited an armed robbery got into my car and didn’t tell me what was going on. Now I can’t get a job, that person didn’t even get arrested.

  19. Nicole

    My name is Nicole (I have changed my real name for privacy reason just on this thread). I’m 21 years old, married and have a 3 year old daughter. My husband and I are 9 weeks pregnant with our second child & are planning on putting it up for adoption. We have gotten a lot of bad feedback about our decision, but it is something we both want to do. We do not get any finical assistance from the government so it’s hard raising one child, let alone raise another one. I feel that us sharing our story will give people a greater insight into second and third child adoptions since they are looked very down on!

    Thanks!

  20. Vante Greene

    My wife was born in Thailand. Lives in Canada. I was born USA and live in NY. We met online on FB. Different cultures so our parents didn’t want us together. She ran away to be with me and to get married. We been married for a year now and have a child on the way. Her parents hate me, and my mom doesn’t call me due to I moved to canada with her. I’m 20 she’s 19. And we are struggling. Consider us and we GUARANTEE this show will be a hit. There are many interracial relationships, long distance relationships, and young married couples out their that can relate. I’m black and she’s asian.

  21. Tyler Bernard

    Hi MTV,
    Im 20 years old. Im in the US Air Force as a civil engineer outta Nellis AFB, Las Vegas. A month or so back my fiancee, Bianca Ordaz was on this show. Her episode was entitled “I want my ex back.” She did this show behind my back to sort out problems with her ex christian. Between the time she wrote to the show and when it was aired we were together. I had been in gulfport mississippi for training. Bianca since then has swore to me she is over chris and loves me now, she even met my father whom I only get to see but once every 2 years or so. However I sense a complete distance from her. I try so hard to talk to her as much as I can and let her know how much I love her. More recently shes been ignoring me while she goes out to concerts and parties and what not. I dont know what do do anymore. Being in the service its very hard and lonley at times. My family rarely talks to me, so Biancas really my only family. When times are hard and sad I like to hear her voice and skype, because I really dont have anything else in this world, and to have all that go away… Its not something Im going to lose without a fight! I just wanna know her true feelings and maybe going back to this show to finish what she started is what needs to be done. Please help me.

  22. Caralyn Albert

    My name is Caralyn Elizabeth Albert, but most know me as Carabeth. I am 21 years old and the entire world around me is in turmoil. I’m from a small town area, Marion County, in Southern Illinois. I’m not exactly sure what the topic of the show you could do, but there is a list of things. My sister, 23 year old Lana, was in a hit and run on June 8, 2014. My life was already chaotic enough and then that happened. The way it sounds, it wasn’t just a hit and run. My mother, stepdad, brother, and a few other family members feel very strongly about her being abducted. The investigation is on-going.
    On top of that, I have quit smoking k2 a few months ago. I had smoked it on and off for many years, but it was really taking its tole on my brain. I have not been clinically diagnosed, but my memory has suffered from all the synthetic consumption. I used to have the best memory and now it’s not terrible, but my last few years are a little blurry. I also tested other drugs on and off, but none ever really affected me how the k2 did. I do not plan on ever touching the stuff again. For those out there who can see this, I suggest if you use it STOP.
    Then there is the complete dysfunction in my family, especially after we lost Ronny (Lana). My father, Ray Albert Jr., is a well respected man in this area, basically the entire Southern Illinois area. Everyone perceives this great man, but I’m telling you he is a complete jerk. After the funeral, the celebration of life party was at his house. I was kicked out because of my boyfriend at the time was not welcome. In such a trying time you would think he would let something like that go. My mother (now divorced and re-married) was not allowed to be present either. The local tattoo artist took up donations for the family to get free tattoo’s; he was a close friend of Lana’s. After my dad got his first one he took the money for this “scholarship” so my brother, his wife, and I did not get these tattoo’s. That is fine, I’ll pay for one myself. Ray also was on the news stating he was close with Lana, that she was a “daddy’s girl.” That statement is completely false, he actually rarely spoke to her, or any of his children, and treats us with disrespect. I do not feel we will ever be good enough for him. It just pisses me off because he is a liar and I really want the world to see this man for what he is. ALSO, there is issues with distribution of memorial funds, again, money does not matter to me, but he is trying to take at least 80% of it again for this so called “scholarship” that my mother, brother, and I are not allowed to be in on. There is so much more.
    I mentioned a boyfriend earlier, we broke up recently after nearly 7 months because he is too childish for me, and I really can’t handle that right now. He is still trying to get me back, but tells everyone I am crazy and it’s all me of why we broke up. I actually broke up with him because we were homeless and against my better judgment, I sold my narcos I just got prescribed for a painful cyst with the promise of getting cash, but he actually got half cash, half weed. That was the deal breaker. Now he is not a terrible guy, but he is an idiot and has the mentality of a 15 year old.
    I have a cyst in my right ovary, I only have the right one left because of a dermoid cyst in my left one bigger than a softball was there when I was 17. It had to be removed otherwise I could have died. Now I’m dealing with this other one, maybe the size around of a quarter? I am told I need surgery because it’s causing me so much pain and is growing. I may lose my right ovary now… I don’t really feel like thinking about that at my age. I would like a child or children someday. All this stress also causes it to hurt or grow… luckily it’s at a much slower rate then the last one.
    I am now living with my aunt Patti, she is an alcoholic, today she actually locked her boyfriend out and when I showed up the cops were on their way. She promised she wouldn’t drink with me there, but that really does not surprise me, and if you couldn’t tell, I am completely used to dysfunction.
    As I mentioned earlier, I had a k2 addiction. I have been sober through all of this, again wouldn’t go back. However, I’m on court supervision with random drug testing. I am a stoner at heart, but I can’t smoke that otherwise I will go to jail. Nope, not going to happen! I am on court supervision because I was in a high speed chase on my 20 birthday. I was in another bad relationship at the time, my first love, and he was also an idiot. I actually have never been in trouble besides that, I graduated valedictorian, was VERY sheltered, I have never even had a speeding ticket. I do not have my license, although I can get it back anytime now. I have to spend some big bucks to get it back and I just don’t have that kind of money at the moment.
    I also (oh yeah, there is even more) am temporarily laid off. I can get my job as a CNA at a nursing home back, I just went back one day and it was too soon. All the residents walked on egg shells around me, there blood pressures were all up 20 points, and they couldn’t really speak to me without saying sorry. I am pretty bubbly and happy-go-lucky at work, but in the real world I’m a real bitch, if you will. I just speak my mind and never lie, so most people can’t handle my honest manner. And where I’m from (everyone says this is everywhere) most people are fake, lying, indecent people. I actually had a girl LOL at the fact my sister died, on Facebook. Needless to say if I see her, I will confront her. She keeps her distance. I’m not very big at all or strong, but I will punch someone in the face if they deserve it.
    All in all, my life basically sucks at this moment, but I keep on smiling and staying beautiful <3 for my sister. She had a tattoo that said "Stay Beautiful." I am working on selling T-shirts in her honor, to help with bills and my family out. I actually got screwed out of $350 of donation money I collected from this shady lady. I have put up donation buckets around and did this on my own choice to help out. I have a Facebook page for Lana, "Justice for Lana Albert" to spread the word of her death and to remind everyone, and myself, to stay beautiful. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. (Many guys flocked to her.) She always helped those in need and truly enjoyed it. She helps me everyday even after she has been gone, we had the best love/hate relationship you would ever see. I was the baby so I got made fun of a lot, but she still had my back and protected me if needed, the same to her.
    I am struggling to STAY BEAUTIFUL, however, more and more everyday. I just wanted to throw all this out there, I understand the likelihood of any MTV producer seeing this is slim. I applied for the talent thing, but I just want to spread my story. It is possible to come out on top when everything is against you and I will prove it. I hope someone reads this, because you guys are missing all the action! REAL LIFE HAPPENINGS, RIGHT NOW. I also am not sure if I missed any deadlines, but like I said now would be the time to come and record. Thanks to those who read this, I am probably too late, but just wanted to share. Also, my goal is to someday (not soon) write a book. Obviously I have tons of things to get off my chest, sorry it's so long and drawn out. Thanks again.

    Hello,
    My name is Gabriel Santiago and I am 21 years old. In a month I am going to be changing my life for the good. I will be living with my boyfriend Christopher of 7 months. I currently live by myself in MA adjacent to the ocean. I am so scared for this move, this will be life changing for me because I am going to miss my house. I am 21 years of age and he is 51. We are completely different hence the age range but we were met to be. A few bumps here and then but nothing bad, like any other relationship. Actually, we met on Grindr, the app is a gay app. I am writing a book about my childhood and what’s going on for me right now.

    To Whom it May concern:

    My name is maria i am 24 years old, I don’t know if many people Email To talk about an issue that happens to a lot of people, My Boyfriend (soon to be fiance), who I am living with in pittsburgh Pa is only 27 years old, and has been through so much I am running to MTV for even a little help. When My boyfriend Joseph was only 5 years old, he had to deal with a mother who suffered from diabetes. She did not at ALL take care of her diabetes,and was in and out of the hospital MULTIPLE times. When Joe (my boyfriend) was 10 he was diagnosed with diabetes. The way I see it now, his mother loved him yes, but neglected to show him how to truly take care of his diabetes. When he was 12 years the state took him away from his mother, since she was not healthy enough to take care of him. Joe was put in placement which is where kids with behavior problems and criminal records go. Years later, when he was 15, he was on his way to a home visit when the van broke down. He was about 1/2 a mile away from his moms house, But they would not let him go that day. He was so upset that he went back in the room and slept. That night he had a dream his mom was on the floor crawling to the phone screaming joes name, Her sugar was dropping, and she tried to reach the phone. Joe woke up in a panic, and since the kids there were not allowed to call out to anyone, he couldn’t call his mom. The next day he was VERY anxious to see his mom, so they took him. When he went there, he noticed the TV was left on, but no one answered. He had a key to get in by the door, and when he opened it, there was his mom in the same night gown she was wearing, by the telephone with the phone off the hook, just like in the dream, DEAD. From that point on he had no place to go but the placement home. His Father who was out of the picture for a while found out what happened and reached out to Joe. His aunt Finally took him a year later, but unfortunately when joe was able to go to his moms house to collect his belongings EVERYTHING was GONE!! Even today, we have only about 3 Pictures of her in our house hold. Joe graduated high school and went into high school. Not really knowing how to take care of his diabetes he too was also in and out of the hospital for years. I met Joe in 2010 and have both changed each others life for the better. I had no idea how to take care of a diabetic until I met him. I was only 22. From that point on I have learned about diabetes, and we both have been learning how to take care of it. I feel bad, because his MOTHER should have taught him since he was little, placement, and his family. BUT NOPE. This year has been HORRIBLE. His whole family suffers from diabetes, but not one of them pitched in to help him. In January on the 23rd of this year (2014) Joe’s BEST friend and father had also passed away. A mentally ill room mate who was not taking her medicines let him die. By that I mean his dad went to get a glass of water at 2 am collapsed to the ground, and the room mate just put a blanket over his head, and left him there. She did not call 911 in fact, in the morning she still didn’t call 911 a neighbor, a little boy he used to walk to school, called for his grandmother when he saw Joe’s dad on the floor. He could’ve been saved. His father died of complications as well. Now there’s Joe for the 3 years we’ve been together, we learned how to take better control of this diabetes, and Joe has been doing great over the past year….HOWEVER, the years and YEARS of damage since he was TEN YEARS OLD has finally caught up to him. He was diagnosed with retinopathy, where his eyes are SEVERELY Damaged and his retna is close to being detached in both eyes, and has neuropathy where he lost the feeling and blood flow in both of his feet. I want to reach out to say we are having such bad luck lately, but the truth is we really want to share this story for those who are suffering from this horrible disease, Is there anyway you would be interested in this story? Joe is hopefully getting surgery soon to get his eyes fixed, and even though he has had MUCH better control of his diabetes over the past 3 years, his body is deteriorating right in front of out eyes. Drs say if we keep going this positive route, it was slow things down, but So far it hasn’t.

    I’m 21 and I’ve recently moved to tallahassee,fl from Syracuse,NY to get away from all the negative energy and bad vibes. Been trying to find a job and haven’t had any luck so far. I’ve been wanting to pursue a modeling career but once again no luck. Runway modeling are too strict when it comes down to recruiting models, and I’m only 5’1. I don’t understand why you HAVE to be 5’8 or taller just to rip the runway. That ruined my life dreams knowing I couldn’t persue something that I’m really interested in doing. I love taking pictures and I have high confidence in myself in front of camera! I just want to see my beautiful face on a billboard one day. Some day soon. Only if I could get someone to scout me or a life coach to help motivate me to do what needs to be done when it comes to interviewing with modeling agencies would be LIFE. I just want to see my dreams unfold right in front of me.

    Hardworking single mother of three works @ Chrysler LLC. Life’s experiences have made myself a strong individual I am today. The lost of my heart, my grandmother & become distance from family members who I have not always see eye to eye on things. Struggling to maintain my love for my children & surviving has always made me a better person. Loving, caring & most of all a hard worker.

    I been around the block a bit to say the least. But four years ago, I met the woman of my dreams. She’s smart, beautiful, charming, and whitty just to name a few. But most of all she loved me enough to change me, we’ve been through some tough periods but a year ago I asked her to marry me and she said yes. We even had a child together. She was hoping to have her father walk down the aisle but he passed when we first began to get serious. And I never had much family, I moved around from foster home to foster home, never really feeling accepted. My love insisted that I find my family, or at least try to. I found the name of my father, a man named Richard Evans. He had three children by three different women. All girls. One happened to be the love of my life. I’m in love with my half sister. Seemingly impossible right? But my fiancee’, Larrisa lived in my hometown of ganesville florida, when she was younger later moving to North Carolina to be raised by her mother. She never knew our father. My real mother, a Hispanic woman named Marisol was in and out of jail and battled drug addiction until she died when I was four. My grandmother was too old to take care of me, and she herself didn’t know who my father was. She tried her best to take care of me but passed when I was six. After her passing is when I was put into the system? Make a little more sense? Larissa mother didn’t know that our father even had any more children. After all of this Larissa’s family expected us to call the wedding off but we are much too in love to ever consider living without each other. We are both women, so we can n ever have children. I want our story to be heard. Love has no color, gender, race, religion, preference, or even a bloodline. When a person falls in love unconditionally, it is just that without condition. And I love my future wife/half sister without condition. We found others like us,

    to who .
    m it may concern;
    I have a great idea for MTV true life episode.
    MTV true life: I have a famous persons name.
    to think about all the stuff they go through when they meet new people Or their daily activities like appointments and disappointments when First people meet them or ask them questions that they heard their whole life and are tired of.
    it cost around $5000 to change their name so that’s why they don’t change it, a lot of paperwork.
    example: Justin Beaver, Michael Jordan, + more
    I’m a fan and this is a great idea. Highs rating . get to work

    Hello, names Tomas. I’m 25 years old. Last year I came into my Psychic Ability. I’m an Emotional Psychic with an active ability in Clairsentience. I know I’m probably gonna be to real for Tv. I run a community page Facebook called X Factor Awareness where I explain some of the things I go through. One thing that use to be an issue was dealing with my what I thought to be A.D.D. The biggest complication that comes from this is my inability to concentrate. Now more educated in how this ability works. I struggle with life working in fast food, while possessing the ability to physical touch spirits. How much less murders would occur in the world if people acknowledged the spirits around them. YouTube “Energetic Clairvoyance.” A video where you can see me point out spirits in the air. We all possess the gifts of Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Claircognizance, Clairsentience, Clairgustance, and Clairalience. Even sex with spirits is real possibility. Given that touch is a sense still possessed by spirits. I’m really just looking to explain to the world that I’m not crazy and that I too have value. Since we all the same gifts, the difference between me and the other candidates might only be that I’m an INFP personality type. “My Life As A INFP Psychic,” Personal Blog on Facebook. Thank you for your time. I understand if your not up for saving the world. Before assuming you know the type of person I am, please just ask. That being the biggest issue at work

    Have you ever been so frustrated that you wanted to scream at the top of your lungs? Have you ever been so sad that you cried until your head throbbed and your eyes couldn’t even produce any more tears to fall down your face? We all encounter times in our lives where our world is spinning out of control, like a vicious tornado that destroys everything in its path, resulting in devastating consequences. My name is Rachel from Fort Worth, Texas and those times have been greatly amplified for me as I have spent the past 8 years living with Crohn’s Diseae. I was diagnosed right after high school and suffered for many years until I had major surgery 6 months ago that left me with no colon and an ileostomy. There have been no reality shows that I have seen that expose the truth of what it’s really like living with a chronic disease that revolves around crap. I would really like to show the world what it is like to have your world turned upside down and have your life turn into a never ending wrestling match against the fierce competitor of a chronic, debilitating illness. From constant hospitalizations to vicious side effects of many medications, I have an abundance of raw reality to share. To learn more about me and my journey, I have a blog which entails all of my experiences…

  40. Brooke Lewis

    My name is Brooke and I’m living a lifestyle i can’t afford. I’m 25, single, and feel like i have an appearance to uphold. I live in a small rural town in southeastern Kentucky, where the idea of normal is getting pregnant and married by age 20. I refuse to settle for less than what i deserve, so i buy things i want. I have recently put myelf on a budget, but with a car payment, rent, student loans, medical bills, and so on, it is still diffucult to sustain this life style even working full time at a financial institute and running a small side business as a makeup artist. I know I’m not the only young woman in this situation, with shows like the kardashians and real housewives, the glitz and glammer is intriguing, and some people feel nferior for not upholding the standards set by Hollywood.

  41. Jessica J

    Hi My name’s Jessica and I’m from Upstate NY. I live in a little town known as Central Square. I’ll spare my life story, given the fact most likely no one will read this. I have bi polar and major deressive disorder, always struggled with with depression. It effects every aspect of my life, my ability to hold down a job, my ability to keep friendships and it has caused my many relationships to fail. You could say I’m a loner, isolating myself causes me to deal with social anxiety. I’m uncomfortable every where i go and with everyone i meet. I find more enjoyment being held up in my own apartment then being in the world. About s year ago i decided to reach out to people that are going through similiar struggles as mine. I created a FACEBOOK support Page along with a support group, youtube channel and blog. I enjoy helping people, that’s what puts a smile on my face. I’m not sure what season it was, I’m thinking maybe the first one but True Life showed an episode about about people struggling with bi polar disorder. For years i have wanted to show people what it’s like to live with bi polar, major depressive, manic depression, OCD, personality disorder, shizo-effective, anxiety, and severe depression. I don’t want sympthany, i want to help people that are ashamed to come out about their illness, like i was for many years. Being able to reach out to people and share my story on youtube has already made so many people realize that their not in this alone. I don’t have kids, don’t have crazy drama in my life, the only drama that i have is caused in my own head. I should point out i have been in a relationship with a man that should have left me two years ago. He is truly the only one that knows how to deal with me on a daily basis. He’s the one that comes home and finds me in the closet crying and tells me everything will be okay. He is also the reason why i am still here today, he is my support system, my everything. If someone does read this maybe you can do a show on depression or mental illness and how it effects your life. Their so many other shows on today that are not touching on the subject of mental illness. It’s killing people everyday because no one wants to confront the issue. Help me in keeping up the fight and raising awareness!

    Hi
    My name is nesha. I’m 16 years old and live in Nashville ,Tn. I am a mother of a one year old boy. I work, go to school, and am in the mist of getting emancipated. I am a single mom with no help so doing all of this is very hard. I have no help from my child’s father and no support from any one. I am constantly being harassed by my babyfather wife. I have a very stressful life. All I want to do is succeed in life to provide a safe haven for my child. I also want to be an aspiring model and dancer. I have big dreams for the future and am determined to not let anything get in my way.

  44. Kristi

    My name is kristi I’m 24 years old and a mother of two I think it would be a great idea to do a true life episode on “real housewives” so people could see especially young woman what really goes into being a house wife the cleaning the cooking the caring for children the balancing work or school and doing what you need to for your family the loneliness the not having time or money to go out and do fun things. I see all these shows the real housewives from here and there and it’s about all these rich woman who dnt seem to have a worry in the world and that’s not what it’s about I live this life on a day to day basis and it’s stressful especially when you are having trust issues in your relationship and trying to balance it all out and I would love to expose the real truth about being a “house wife” and all the b.s That comes along with it using my own story. I think it would be entertaining but at the same time show people the truth about being a so called “house wife”.

  45. Sara Geneva Espana

    I forgot to put some more detail. I had started self harming at the age of 12 because of how I thought I looked, I stopped in September of 2013. I still struggle with mild bulimia nervosa. I binge eat, and then I purge afterwards. I don’t normally tell everyone this but many people will see this. I try to listen to my friends when they tell me I’m fine the way I am, but it never help. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

  46. Sara Geneva Espana

    Hi, I am a 16 year old in Tulare Ca. I currently weight 155lbs at the height of 5″6, which is considered overweight. Ever since I was in middle school, I have constantly thought about my physical appearance, being told I have a large nose, or that I was fat. I have a constant obsession with the way I look and I can never seem to think I’m pretty enough. I constantly take pictures of myself and post them on social media site to maybe get compliments that make me feel better. I feel like I’m attention seeking but I really just want to feel pretty, and comfortable in my own skin. I feel like there are many teens now a days who struggle with this same issue. I feel like if my situation was picked for the new season, I think it would let girls know they aren’t alone. I just want to know what it’s like to feel comfortable with who I am. Thank you.

  47. valerie bird

    I am a 30 year old mother that has been facing a lot of challenges in her life. The hardest thing tjpugh has been lossing my children to CPS this past November. This has truly been the hardest test of my life. I have been trying so hard to do everything to please CPS so I can get my children back but it seems that me and my boyfriend are just not trying hard enough I guess. Now im facing either give up my job or give up my children. I cant ask anyone in the system for help because im being irational. I miss my children so bad its just killing me inside each and everyday. I was put in this situation for some crazy reasons which I do take responsibility for but I dont see how it was bad enough to lose my kids. Im now a drug addict, an alcoholic, a neglectful parent nor a child abuser. I was a workaholic and missed 1 doctors appointment for my older son that has ADHD. I was unaware that we had bedbugs at the time so they claimed that the kids has burses on them which later on turned out to be bed bug bites. There has just so much surrounding our situation but we cant seem to get past it now. It seems once CPS has you they HAVE you. Now I dont know how im going to get my kids back, even if we are doing everything they ask of us.

  48. Brandon Valentin

    By the way Om Brandon Valentin from small town EastHartford, CT Im currently 18 years of age and still attending high school. In June of this year I will be graduating.

  49. Brandon Valentin

    My True Life episode would be called I think Im Ugly. It started when I was pretty young. When I will go to elementary I would see people stare at me. Am im ugly? Fat? Or just different. I soon to realized as every school pass on I was gaining weight constantly. But what no one knew that i was fighting depression. As a middle schooler i was always picked on.People called me nasty names\. No one knew I wa going through stuff because I will just leave it in. As soon as I got older I started to cut myself severely. My high school social worker got involved but again I denied. I said it was just my dogs. I hate myself I hate my body. You know when people say oh your beautiful no matter what. But everytime I look in the mirror I didnt see that. I saw a great person but in the outside I just saw pure ugliness. Theres not a day that goes by that I can be proud of who I am. I want to. I really do but am I just gonna get Worst ? Or can I finally live my life the way I should? I think I should be considered because I have a great story to tell. I wont mind telling everyone my hardships in my life.

  50. Liz

    My “True Life” episode would be about my weight loss story. It is unique one that is still in process and I am trying to become a motivational speaker. I am also a health and fitness blogger, currently averaging about 30,000 views a month.

    I had been overweight most of my life. Growing up I was very active, but as active as I was, I ate just as much. I grew up in the country so my days were spent on the four wheeling trail in my backyard, jumping on the trampoline, riding my bike, and exploring the woods. I loved to eat though, especially junk food. Cake, ice-cream, chips, candy – I ate it all, and I ate it a lot. I was lucky enough to have a mother who enjoyed cooking and made homemade biscuits, macaroni and cheese, cakes from scratch, cubed steaks – you name it and she could make it. However, all of this combined was not good for my image and self esteem. Up until I was around 12 years old, I never cared about how I looked. My hair was almost always thrown in a pony tail, I wore baggy sweatpants and sweaters, and had huge glasses. I was teased periodically for my looks, but it was not until I was a Sophomore in High School that it became worse. The summer of 2003 is when I fell in love with fitness.

    I was 12, almost 13 years old when I started to regularly work out. I would take my disc man and run laps around my four-wheeling trail in my back yard or run around the neighborhood then come inside and do work out tapes. I did “The Firm”, tons of Denise Austin tapes, and even Richard Simmons tapes a few times a week. That summer, before starting the 8th grade I lost nearly 30 pounds. In 8th and 9th grade my weight was under control. I was busy playing Volleyball and running track. The Summer of 9th grade before starting 10th is when I started to put on more weight. At this time I was Cheerleading, but still managed to put on weight. This is when I started to be teased reluctantly for my looks at school. After school I would come home to take more abuse from a family member. It was a vicious cycle and one that I thought I would never beat.

    In high school there was a “commons area” that everyone walked through to get to their classes. People would stand out in this area for a few minutes before going to their next class. That is when the teasing began. I would walk through the commons area to go to my next class and this one particular group of people would yell at me and call me names. They happened to be the so-called “Jocks” or “Prep’s”. From being called ugly to a “fat bitch” there was not much they would not call me. This happened every single day and throughout the day. They would write fake love notes to me and say they were from other people and one time they even blocked the doors in front of the school so I could not walk in. When I was cheerleading, if they were not playing the particular sport I was cheering for, they would sit on the bleachers and mock me when I was cheering. The Captain of the baseball team had to write a letter of apology to me once for all of the teasing he and his team were putting me through. It did not stop. Overtime my mother grew sick of me coming home crying every day so she talked to my principal and Student Resource Officer and I was escorted to class to help avoid any teasing. It helped calm things down, but it never stopped.

    I still recall the pain I felt every day going to school. When my mom would drive me to school I would want the drive to take hours. My stomach was always in knots because I never knew what particular torment that day would bring. I wore baggy clothes sometimes, in hopes that no one would notice me or my body. When I got my license I would skip class just so I would not have to walk through the commons area. I would go in the bathroom in between classes and cry. I would take sleeping pills when I came home in the afternoon just so I would not eat. I never wanted to go out with my friends because I thought everyone else was so much prettier and better than me. I showered with the lights off so I would not have to look at my own reflection naked. At one time the depression was becoming so bad with the teasing at school and the abuse from a family member that I remember praying to God to kill me if my life would never improve. It was a vicious cycle that never seemed to end.

    Though I was always active with sports and friends, I never monitored my eating habits and I binged. I was an emotional eater. Growing up food was my comfort. I graduated high school early and began college and worked part-time. That is when I was quickly becoming my heaviest. Now I did not have the time to be as active as I once was and my eating stayed the same. All of these factors combined resulted in a huge weight gain. I graduated high school in January of 2007 when I graduated I was 180 pounds and by September of 2008 I was up to 270 pounds. I still had a lot of muscle, but I put on so much fat over top of that.

    I was 19 years old, sitting in my doctor’s office for depression, on a Tuesday afternoon when I decided I wanted to change my life forever. I wanted to know what it was like to buy clothes and not cry in the dressing room because nothing would fit. I wanted to know what it was like to look at my own reflection and not cringe. I wanted to see if I could truly put in the hard work and dedication it takes to change my life.

    That was when I started researching everything I could on health and fitness. I could not really afford a Personal Trainer to help me 5-6 days a week, nor did I want to rely on one. I started teaching myself different work out’s, about the various types of cardiovascular activities, the proper way to lift weights, the benefits of exercise, recipes, the importance of different nutrients for my body – there was not one subject in the health and fitness field that I did not read and teach myself about. I have tons of notepads filled with notes, research, and different exercises I created. I wanted to learn it all.

    How I first lost weight in between September of 2008-2010 has quickly become a thing of the past. It is incredible how time flies. If you have not read about my initial journey, you can do so here. That is when I first fell in love with health, fitness, obtained my NASM certification, and learned everything I possibly could on proper nutrition and exercise.

    Most of 2010 and 2011, my weight was great, as was my life. I turned 21 in July of 2010. I do not drink a lot, so turning 21 did not do anything to derail my weight. I kept myself very busy with work, the gym, making new friends in Charlotte, and working a second job as a makeup artist. My time was extremely limited, but it kept me on track. I started dating a good friend of mine in June 2011. His passion was fitness, such as I, so initially we made a great team. We dated nearly 2 and half years.

    The relationship was not great. We loved each other, but we just could not make it work. I wanted it to work more than anything, and I know he did too. But we could not do it. I wish I could tell you guys everything to make the story make sense, but I can’t. I don’t think it is really necessary nor would I do that to him. To add to that, at the end of 2012 my job started going down hill. I was on my second budget cut and downsize with the company. That is also when my relationship started taking a turn for the worse. Handling all of that at 23 years old and doing everything alone, was not easy. Food became my refuge. Since I had already lost so much weight, I would justify eating my feelings. I would say to myself “I have had a bad day. I do not feel like working out, so I am going to get a pizza and go home. I have lost a lot of weight so it will be OK”. You can only tell yourself that for so long before the weight starts to slowly creep on. One of my biggest afflictions in life is that food provides an emotional fill for me. It always has. I have to fight 18 years of eating habits every. single. day. and it is not easy. I struggle with my food choices more than I want to admit, but every single healthy choice I make, is a small battle won.

    For months, I ate really bad. I would make healthy choices here and there because I was accustom to it, and I still went to the gym, but everything was slacking. I was eating bad foods more and food, my gym schedule became less structured, my workouts become shorter, and I did not push myself as hard. I literally just did not care. I was tired. I was sad. My work and my relationship were draining life and happiness out of me.

    In January 2013, things slightly improved with my relationship. That helped some. However, I noticed I started feeling sick a lot, and carbohydrates like bread and pasta were about the only thing that made me feel better. I also felt hungrier than usual. The next month, we found out were expecting. A couple of weeks after that, we lost the baby. A couple of weeks after that, I was getting out of my car at work, returning from my lunch break, and I was in a pool of my own blood. I rushed to the Urgent Care near my work, and they called an EMS to rush me to the hospital. And that is where I almost died. I was hemorrhaging. I cannot believe how much blood is in the human body. I will spare anyone reading the details, but I had emergency surgery and transfusion. It cost well over $20,000, but you cannot put a price on life. January through April of 2013 were the absolute worst months of my entire life. I thought in my 23 years of life I had experienced a lot, but I had no idea.

    My body heals and life goes back to normal. Normal as in, my relationship was OK, my job was bad, and I was supposed to continue on with life as nothing happened. Physically, I was normal. Emotionally and mentally? No way. I was really depressed after all of that. I tried to continue on and not drown myself in those bad thoughts. Thinking about it would help nothing. Over the course of the next few months, I would try to get back on my weight loss 100% but it never worked. My passion was gone. I didn’t care. My bad habits continued; poor eating, short workouts, missing the gym, and so on.

    In October, my job finally came to an end. I was relieved, and thankful, because things had been so bad. I really did need to go. I had a new job lined up and I felt as if as brand new start was about to ensue. Two days before I was to start my job, I received a call that the offer was rescinded. I still to this day, have no idea what happened, but I do know that the job was never filled. Budget cuts? Change of heart for the position? Who knows.

    Another low for me. How much pain can one person endure? Will this bad luck ever end? I always try to be a good person, I could not believe how much bad was coming my way. But I could not let that stop me. I hit the ground running – I applied for jobs until I bled. I would stay up all night sending my resumes to places that were not even hiring! I was so determined.

    It quickly paid off.

    A week and a half after I started applying. I obtained a new position. That was a fun week – I interviewed Monday, was offered the job Wednesday, and started that Friday. My new position pays a lot more than the initial one I obtained, I have full benefits and 401K, plus I do what I love. I could not ask for a better boss. I’m telling you, the President of my company is a walking angel, I am convinced of it. Every morning I wake up happy to go to work, blessed to be where I am, and start each day with a positive outlook. That is an incredible feeling.

    I started my job November 1st. That day I felt like a new person – a new woman was born. That day I knew I needed to leave my relationship. I knew he felt that way too, however, we were both afraid to let go, but we did. After that, I took time to focus on my job, move into my new apartment, and heal from my relationship. On Monday, November 25th, 2013 I started a brand new journey. As of April 22nd, I am down 47 pounds. I still have a long way to go, because I want to be better than I have ever been. I am the happiest I have ever been, so I want to be the best as well.

    I take it one day at time, because a weight loss journey, is just that – a journey. A journey that you will go through the rest of your life if you want to stay healthy and fit. You will encounter a lot of ups and downs, weight gains, weight loss, and everything in between. It is never too late to start either. I messed up. I messed up, big time, and I had to start over. I thought I was too far gone but I wasn’t. If you wake up in the morning, that is a brand new chance. I took that chance, even though I was at the bottom again, and I pushed on.

    I want anyone who reads or hears about my story, that if you never give up, you will get where you want to be. I thought I lost my way, but I stopped with the excuses and believed in myself and I am finally back where I know I am meant to be.

    As of April 22nd, 2014 I am down 47 pounds. I still have 40 more to go.

I have a major problem in life with being the person that I’m am. My sexuality play a big part in my life. I have big fears in life such as getting jump or hurt for my sexuality. Everyday I hear people saying something about me or trying to bully me, it’s seem like I’m always a target everywhere I go. I pray to god everyday that nothing happens to me. I’m young and still have dream of being a dancer and just want to live life free, but it’s hard. My sexuality is really stopping me from enjoying the good things in life because I’m so busy worried about what people think or what they are going to say to me. I’m not a fighter and I shouldn’t have to fight. I really should be consider to be on true life because a lot of people can relate to me and my story on so many different levels. And it would help people be more friendly and treat of us the same. We are human too.

I love the outdoors and I also love the books/movies of the Hunger Games. This would be so fun to me and I would do whatever it takes to win the game. I think I could bring a comical side to the show, because I love to make people laugh. I am a very outgoing person so meeting new people would be easy. I am also very competitive…….

  61. J. Erica Jackson

    Hello, I am 32 year old female from Cleveland, Ohio. I have a 16 year old son and i have been married for 13 ro years to a man that is not the father of my son. I married him because I wanted my son to have two parents in the household and eventually forced myself to love someone I wasn’t really in love with. Now I am living two different lives waiting for my son to go to college so I can hopefully leave my husband and have a meaningful relationship. So here is a bit of my history.
    I had my so at 16 years old and I left that relationship to be with another jerk. While with my second boyfriend he became very abusive and I was later introduced to my husband. My husband was very nice, shy, nothing like I ever dated and he really loved my son. So after I gree tired of my second bf I moved in with my husband in November 2000 and married him two months later. I was very young and believed that was best for my son to have stability. I later started realizing I can’t be with someone I really don’t know or love genuinely. I am now becoming rebellious and some people don’t even know I am married. I am xraving to be with someone else but I kunda don’t wanna hurt my husband so I wanr to see how far thus can go.

  67. Koreena Muniz

    Hi, my name is Koreena. I’m 17 years old an an aspiring model. I would love to have this opportunity to be on your show because I have a lot to say. I’ve bounced around between Texas to Oklahoma my whole life. This world seems to be such a cruel place. I find that in general (at least in my experience) no one genuinely cares about others. I struggle with social anxiety and it really keeps me from being myself around people my own age, I only have one friend because of this. People don’t understand, they think that just because someone is quiet in social settings that they’re stuck up and look down their noses at the world. This couldn’t be more wrong. Being in any social setting is completely overwhelming for me. The reason I want to be chosen for this is simply because I want to be an inspiration to others. I want people to know that they aren’t alone and there are people out there that do understand what they’re going through. Anxiety and depression are huge problems with our generation. Also, I have a lot of people to prove wrong.

  73. Tony Randolph

    My name is Tony Randolph. I’m 22 years of age. I’m from South Carolina. I’m a upcoming wardrobe stylist. Wow, where do I begin, at the age of 16 my life completely changed. The man that I thought was father for 16 years of my life apparently isn’t my father. At the age of 16 my mother and the man I thought was my father got into a big argument and it lead to him wanting a DNA test. So we got the DNA test, the results came back that I wasn’t his child and I was crushed because I’m named after him. Out of all four of his kid’s I’m the only who looks just like him (identical). There were rumors that “roots” where done for the results to come back that way. I don’t believe in roots at all! My mom was shocked and she couldn’t believe it as well but she said she knew who my father was if he wasn’t so we got another DNA and the man was my father. I look nothing like him at all. We tried building a relationship but it didn’t work and until this day it’s not working. We haven’t spoken in a year because I told him I was gay, we got into bad and he called me hurtful things! At the end of the day I’m still a man. I act like a man. Some people don’t know I’m gay or some just don’t believe it. I got shot at the age of 17 and he said I should have gotten killed!! He has kid’s and I keep in contact with them, he calls them his “Golden Boys” to make me feel bad! We don’t speak at all but the man that I’m named after still treats me as his own somewhat. No one knows the truth. I’m basically living a lie because it’s a family secret. My siblings have no idea that I’m not there brother. I’ve held it in for 6 years now. I can go on and on. I’m ready to face reality and share my story!
