    My true life is performing as a clown or magician at birthday parties for a living. We have to deal with a lot of different people every weekend. Sometimes we see parents, fight, argue and get drunk..in front of the children. Some times the people can’t find all of the money or say that magic isn’t real in front of the children. It’s a living.

  2. Brittney

    I’m 28…divorced.I’ve come to the realization that I can NOT BE FAITHFUL. I don’t want to say it’s hereditary but I know it’s because of my relationship with my father. My relationship goal is to have a husband and a wife but with that being said my parents know nothing about me being bisexual. My mother is very active in church so that is my greatest fear of telling her.She is also grand worthy matron of her chapter in the eastern stars so she’s very active in the community. I’m afraid living my lifestyle openly will cause her to be ashamed. I’d love to share my story and my desires. People should be open with the truth that monogamy isn’t for everyone. It’ll be less heartbreaks that’s for sure.

  3. Devonna Ware-Robinson

  8. Shay

I recently contacted my biological father who soon to be out of jail and I’m terrified of telling him Ive tattooed this man name on me. With poor judgement according to my parents they are determine to find someone better for me

  9. Kirsten

    i was thinking that i could star in a true life series ” i have ethnicity dysmorphia”. I am a 21 year old in college and I’m pretty basic besides the fact that I’m a black girl living in a white girls body.

  10. Odyssey Wilson

    Im going to keep this short and simple. My name is Odyssey Wilson and I am 19 and a freshman in college. I have a crazy packed schedule (school, internship, dance, social life) and have to deal with personal issues, family issues, and relationship issues which drive me crazy!!!!! My roommate and I are the funniest people ever and we do the craziest stuff! A show about the frustration of a college student would definitely grasp the attention of viewers who will definitely be able to relate!

  11. Yesenia Pallotta

    My name is Yesenia, I’m 19, maybe we can have a show with long distance. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 years, yes since 9th grade of highschool, and I’m a sophomore in college. Maybe we can have something to share the life of two who live far from each other. I would love to be part of the show since we have to struggle with it everyday! It’s hard especially being with someone for so long and so use to spending everyday with each other. Maybe this can be an idea.

  12. Brooke Buchanan

    Hi everyone! My name is Brooke, and I am 20 years old. My boyfriend is in the military and lives 100’s of miles away. I have seen him twice in the past eight months. It puts a strain on our relationship, but it is totally worth it. I would love to see an episode about military couples and the ups and downs of being with what I personally believe to be a hero. Thank you so much for the opportunity!

  13. Illiana

    Illiana, female , 22

    Diagnosed with a chronic illness when I was 20 the sudden diagnoses put a pause on my life. I have found a growing community of young adults/teens on the Internet that are experiencing the same thing. To cope with staying home I run a blog on product reviews and have a YouTube channel.

    I would be a perfect fit for a show addressing chronic illness and how it affects a young person’s life.

  14. Brooke Evans

    My name is Brooke and I have a rather unusual mental condition that has just been discovered recently. It’s called misophonia which means the hated of sound. Very little is known about this condition and there is no cure, only intensive treatment. Misophonia can come in many different ranges and I consider myself to have a chronic case. This condition has a strong impact on my daily life. When I hear something I don’t like I immediately go in rage mode and run away from the problem. The amount of anger that runs in my body is scary. Many noises may differ when comparing to others but there is one sound we all cannot stand. People eating. Anyone eating anything will drive me crazy. It can be loud crunchy food or even soft less noisy foods, it does not matter. I have many other sounds that irritate me but just thinking about makes my skin crawl. I am 22 years old and have not been able to sit down and eat dinner with my family in 10 years. Not many people realize the severity of this illness and I want to educate people about the disorder. This can be very intriguing to others and an episode on true life with show viewers what happens behind closed doors and give them an idea of the hurdles I face in every day life.

  15. Monique Ashley

    Hi, my name is Monique my fiance name is Hasani we’re a young couple with a newborn I have some issues with cps we are currently living in a hotel and we are in need of support to get our daughter back because of the lost of my son to thevsystem by another guy they wanna take our child.

  16. Lauren bolton

    I have big issues with my mom I have been getting a law suite money since I was 18 and I’m 24 now I get it one more time when I’m 25 and I have a feeling my mom will manipulate me into giving most of it to her since my sister stole 8 thousand when I was 18 and my mom stole 10 when I was 21 so I Dont trust my parent.

  17. Mel C.

    Hi!

    My name is Jasmine, and I live in Atlanta, Georgia! I am a Senior, 23 years old, in college and I have already started an amazing career at the bank! I live a great life with my boyfriend in our apartment and I have an awesome group of friends. I love taking trips and spending time with my family. Sounds life the sweet life, huh? Not!

    I honestly hate my butt! Every since I was about 14, guys would always tease me about my butt. So, I have always wanted to do something about it. So much so, that I have began meeting with plastic surgeons to correct my flaw. I have a “flat” booty. I mean, I am curvy in other places, but my backside is so embarrassing, I purposely never go to the beach or go swimming, because I hate how my butt looks in a bikini. Living in Atlanta can be very intimidating. I mean, EVERYONE has a super curvy booty. Young, old…it seems like everyone has that backside that I long for. I even limit the pictures I take on social media because I feel like no one wants to look at face pics anymore, everyone wants to see a nice body. I have already had a $13,000 breast reduction to look more curvy and proportioned, but now I am ready to work on the lower half of my body.

    My boyfriend is very supportive of my efforts to spend over $20,000 on a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, but my family is totally against it! I know I should be happy with the way I was made, but I am considering taking out loans and even selling my car in order to come up with the money to get my surgery. I have been told horror stories of people getting such an evasive surgery but I am willing to risk my health to be happy. I am ready to get my confidence level up and boost my self-esteem at all costs. I know I am really beautiful, but I do not feel like a woman without a nice curvy butt.

    I want to share my story with others, because I know this is something that many other women have an issue with. Please pick me to share my story!

  18. lance rice

    Hello. My name is Lance Rice and I am 25 I live in massachusetts. I’m in recovery from a bad bad heroin,cocaine, crack and pill addiction that lasted 10 years starting when I was 13. I have been through so much including overdosing while shooting cocaine on my mom’s birthday almost dying in front of her. Going to jail 3 times being caught doing breaking and entering and robberies to feed my addiction. I’ve been to the bottom numerous times and have finally climed out with a lot of strength and hard work. Next month 2/7/2015 I am coming up on 2 years clean I am still struggling to make it through probation and a drug court program. I have buried 5 loved ones in the last year who died from overdoses. I have been on the radio. In the Boston Globe and briefly on CNN the show parts unknown which was an episode about addiction. But no one has really been able to hear my full story which has a bizarre twist to it as well. I want to share my story and I know I can help people and younger kids with this story. Please please consider it. Thanks you very much. Lance

  20. Adrianna

    I’m not sure if it’s been done already, but if there were an episode of True Life titled I hate my boyfriends friends, I need to be on it. I’m 18 and my boyfriend Garrett and I have been together on and off and about 3 years. Now he’s 19 and him and his twin brother share an apartment. They’re seniors in high school, as am I and the house is an absolute s show. I clean it constantly only for it to be destroyed by his constantly drunk, high, and disrespectful group of friends. Garrett and I never get to be alone together, his friends have even follow us out to dinner. They come to the house unannounced with weed and beer, make a mess then leave. It was fun for a little while, but I’m beyond over it. This would be a really entertaining episode of True Life, and I’m hoping it will also change things around here.

  21. Michael Marturano

    I am 18 years old I live in New Jersey 5 minuntes away from New York City, and I’m 100 percent Italian. I’m known to be the funny guy who will do almost anything for a laugh but I’m also the last person you want to see get mad. I love fooling around with older woman going to clubs and arguing over sports. I actually like to argue over everything to prove how a person is wrong even when being right lol. It’s would actually be quit entertaining having an 18 year old on the show becuse while the others are drinking I would not be allowed I would have to be the young one everyone watches after. while messing with the others in the house would also be hysterical… Your missing out if you don’t take me so don’t make the wrong descion email or reach my cell 973-800-4242

  22. Kit K

    Im Kit, Ive accepted Im agender/ non binary
    this year. Im a black christian from New Orleans Louisiana.
    Im raised in a christian household Im 23 and I still live at home with my family.
    Im an alternative queer feminist and they only know I’m a feminist. They think I hate men, but Ive been through a lot an in a conservative state, with a conservative family its hard to open up about anything, let alone about men, so I let them think Im just an angry feminist when I rally just like women. I want to raise awareness, that black individuals arent just comedic entertainment. Im nerdy, I AM funny. Im into makeup artistry, drawing, video games, body modifications, queer lifestyle, feminism, japanese fashion, and haven’t rejected my faith, but it’s just difficult. etc. I am a multifaceted individual and I’d love to represent that.

  23. Pamela Hall

    I’m not sure how old you have to be to do this Reality show. But I believe that there are not may disabled stories on True life. I was in a Car Accident in 94, and yes I use a wheelchair to get around. And every since that Car accident, I suffer with Tremors not every body knows what they
    Are or how a person that has Tremors deal with them on a deal bases or how the person that has this movement disorder feel. And I would like to share my story and maybe I could help someone else deal with their Tremors in a positive way. All I ask for is a chance

    Thank you

  26. Carrie

    Hi. My name is Carrie and I’m a 26 year old single mom. My sounds father was shot and killed while I was pregnant. And my current boyfriend, soon to be husband is in jail for things he didn’t commit. I lost my home and my job because my son was really sick and now we are staying at a homeless shelter. We have to struggle every day. I’ve tried to find work, but without help with my son and no babysitter I can’t work. I’m struggling so hard to make ends meet. I feel like my life is every rough and if people what how I struggle and live they may want to make better choices. I feel like I’m a perfect candidate for this show because my life is real. My tears are real. My son going through this struggle with me is real. It makes our bond stronger and our love unbreakable. Please choose us so that we may show the world what is real.

  27. Courtney Johnson

    Hey, i’m Courtney, 22 years old, in college and my major is Interior Design. If it ain’t me I feel True Life should have a college episode on somebody because it is NOT easy. I have been in college since 2010, NEVER changed my major, and i’m just a sophomore. Transfer credits is the reason for this. So it makes it hard to wanna continue school.

    Anyway, a lot of people don’t know exactly what Interior Design is and what designers do but let me tell you that this is the one thing in my life that I’ve really felt so much stress. Towards the end of the semester me and my classmates (6 others) get little to NO sleep stayin up to finish final projects. We’ve SLEPT n the design studio!!! For a 2 WEEKS! just to get these design projects finished with great quality. I caught staph infection n my ankle last year sleeping n the class room.

    It’s a lot we go through, we love what we do, and we still find a way to have fun and laugh but it’s a lot that none of our friends or family understand. Somebody needs to c it first hand.

  28. Mary Olguin

    I’m Mary Olguin, living in Provo, UT, went to BYU and am an active LDS member. My hubby has delusional disorder, possibly schizophrenia, and ADHD, which makes life challenging sometimes because it’s a lot harder for him to handle stress, and we’re ALMOST ALWAYS BROKE OR UNDERWATER. Really stressful. We’re not like most couples. We like to act super-annoying together during our late-night grocery shopping trips, sometimes scurrying around the store or wrestling with each other in the aisle. We both have social skills that are a little underdeveloped, so sometimes we act like kids instead of adults, especially when we’re alone together. We’re practically inseparable, even after almost 2.5 years being together, but we don’t sugar-coat, we hurt each others’ feelings a lot. We argue a reasonable amount, especially when my husband’s having an anxiety attack. Sometimes all I feel I can do then is yell at the top of my lungs. Also, I want a baby! But my husband doesn’t want one yet. But I think I might already be pregnant.

  29. Kristina L

    Not sure if it’s been done but what about us bipolar people? Bipolar alcoholics?

  30. Dana

  31. jerica johnson

    Hi my name is Jerica and im 22 years old with a one year old with my boyfriend. To appear on True Life would be neat to show other girls and people what its like to be with a guy that has previous kids and how baby mommas can be very unfair to guys and how this is ruining mine and our current daughters life. Its getting to be too much that im second guessing my relationship with a man i truely love… To be with someone that has previous kids, is more than some think to take on!

  35. Jaleesa Haygood

    True Life,

    My life is a jumble of twists and turns. It’s completely sporadic and beyond my control. It’s so bad to the point it’s almost unbelievable. To give you an example, a few months ago in September I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, two days later my motorcycle was stolen, two hours after I reported my bike stolen my car was totaled. This month I went to a bar, got roofied, was found 45mins away from home with my car broken down on the side of the road, I was arrested and charged with public intoxication, after I got out of jail the next day I found my car had been towed, broken into, and abandoned on a car repair lot. All my money was stolen along with my cellphone and clothing. That same day I was notified that my chief of police uncle from Seattle was here to visit and picked me up directly after this incident. Currently I have diverted from my dreams of being a video game concept artist and abandoned my bachelor’s degree in illustration that cost my parents over 160,000 in debt to become a horse trainer and moved to Kentucky. This dream has yet to take off due to other complications so to make ends meet I became a stripper. While all this is going on I am also living with lupus. Despite having the most dramatic life you could ever imagine, I am always happy, outgoing, and my goal in every day-to-day actions is to make people smile after 3 seconds of meeting me. I would make excellent TV, I have a very pretty face, award winning personality, versatile life style, while all the while leaving with a disease that is slowly killing me and I try not to let the world or even myself notice it. I want to show people that despite their complications they can do it, and love their life while they do it.

    In short, I am a go go/pole dancing, rock climbing, kick boxing, equestrian, motorcyclist who just graduated from art school and now wants to also write books! I have a hard to miss personality and would make an excellent addition to your show. Call me! 🙂

    -Thank you and have a blessed day.

  38. Chrystal Meyer

    My name is Chrystal and I suffer from serious social anxiety and panic disorder, it is a daily struggle for me and it affects me from getting a job, making any friends, attending family events, ect. It is very tough for me to live my life…

  39. Jasmine

    Well… Where should I begin? It all basically began about two years ago when I was employed with weight watchers and was so gung go about it! Then I started noticing things shady things. Nobody tells you the catty back stabbing your gonna endure before you enter a working environment full of ADULT females. I was experiencing what is called corporate bullying. It got so bad that my depression and anxiety that I was recoverying from got exacerbated times 100. All because of one coworker. It was extremely heart wrenching after the coworker I had looked up to for years during my weight loss journey ended up being this conniving jealousy evil ridden bitter. They coworker I am talking about also had an army of other receptionists that did whatever her command including completely ignoring me to the point what I had to say or put my 2cents in was non existent. They treated me as if I were dead. I will go into further detail when we speak because as of right now it is waaaayyy too much and intense to type. Trust me. After a while I was getting bullied and disrespected so much I was actually thinking and SEEKING ways to get myself fired. And boy did I come up with a genius way to do that, mind you what I did outward to the other coworker it takes someone whom I believe is truly evil for me to say what I said to her. Now I am currently looking for work and it has been hard finding something and I try my best to remain optimistic each and everyday. Now the only struggle as far as finding another job since then is finding work that is strictly part-time as for not only am I in school but I also have a neurological/emotional disability and moderate to severe social anxiety that prevents me from working directly with the public. I am also an visual artist in case that’s relevant and create work peices when I am not applying for jobs. Looking for a job is pretty tough as income is important. I had however a few weeks ago scored a position at my local movie theater. For a week. I had a severe panic attack on the job because it was slave labor, no freedom and no lunch break for 8hrs plus overtime, constant people, unreliable schedules and shifts, insanely strict policies and management. I didn’t even have dinner until I got home at 2am which was not what I applied for. I immediately called in to quit the following day.. Right now I am seriously contemplating exotic dancing. My life honestly, it’s unpredictable it what will happen the next day. But despite the obstacles I face. I have never been more relieved to be fired from weight watchers. If being temporarily unemployed is easier than working at weight watchers, something is wrong.

  40. Neal Madsen

    I wanna make a show on what it. Is like living on disability benefits from social security. The reason why I want to be chosen is because I want people to understand and know it is not easy living on this income and to be grateful for their jobs

    Hello all,
    I think that being part of this show will open doors and help me reach my dream. I am a TV Production major at California State University, Northridge. My dream has always been to be part of a TV Show. As an undocumented student, the struggles of always being part of so many stereo types but to still be able to go to college and continue to hop over very single obstacle has been a true blessing. I believe that my story and personality has so much to bring in this show. It would be a huge privilege to be able to attend a single casting.

    Hi I would like to be a part of the show in a different way. I would like to help people get jobs from the resources I have. I come from a poor home and im living day by day but i am determined to not go without. I started my own home business and I do a couple things to make money. I know how it feels to go without and I just wanted to share my resources that i use to make money from your home no matter what area you live in.

  43. bridgette

    My name is Bridgette the idea i had for bring on true life is not even about the jacked up childhood i had its about the engagement i am in that people just don’t understand. I am now engaged to a msn who is in prison and will be home with me in April. He was my boyfriend when i was 16 we had a child relationship for a year then he got licked up and and we haunt spoke since. That is until 5 years ago i found out he was in prison again and wrote him.he responded but i was married so i didn’t entertainer to much. Last year he wrote me and we started talking again and getting to know each other new as an adult. He asked me to marry him i said yes. My kids love him but my family and friends think in crazy and my dad really has a hard ttime understanding how i can fall in love with a man in prison who can do nothing for me. We have never lived together and my 3 kids are excited he has a 8 year old daughter they have never met but they call her sister. In fact i never met her either so once he gets out and we get married we will all get a chance to unite.

  45. Racole Branison

    My name is Racole Ramonte Branison born July 28th,1994..I am 20 year old gay male from Frederick, MD. I had a bit of a rough childhood being abused by mom birth mom as well as watching her be consumed by drugs, I have 1 brother and 1 sister both younger than me. At age 10 in 2005 I was taken from my family at school and thrown into foster care not really sure of what happened..At this time i had been in in a few foster homes and group homes i was so angry not have a mother nor fathers love and dealing with it from strangers was worse..after having some therapy i eventually in 2010 went to go live with my dance teacher who i had built an early on relationship with in 2007…I had gone on to preform many shows and preformed with several dance schools ! In the summer of 2013 I had had some troubles and decided to close my case in foster care and my only gay best friend since diapers had suggested i move back to frederick cause it had been to long since we connected…so i moved back and got mixed up in drama of Frederick and in October of 2013 my gay best friend was stabbed repeatedly and murdered and that really took a toll in me..i started popping pills and using drugs to find a way to numb yet another pain added to my life. I want this chance to make a difference to the gay community and stop hate crimes as well as to hopefully reconnect with my mother and take care of my brother and sister. Now where the bad b in me comes in is the fact that I am pretty much a show on foot all my friends love me and tell me i need my own show, i turn up on a daily and am pretty much a bad b, i don’t take bs and my motto in life is “You have 2 Options …Hold Me Down Or Slow Me Down… & If You Choose The Second Option, Then You Won’t Be Around”.

  47. Kelcey

    Hi I’m Kelcey. I know there are so many people wanting to be on True Life and I am one of them. I just hope someone reads this and possibly sees this and thinks I would make a great candidate for the show. I’m 21 years old. I have been through so much and just want to get better. I was bullied in high school and it was honestly the worst time of my life. Everyone was against me. I would come home and cry everyday to the point where I almost thought suicide was the only answer. I was so depressed I wouldn’t come out of my room for months. I ended up dropping out of school in the middle of 10th grade. I ended up developing severe social anxiety. Still to this day I have it. I also developed a fear of driving. I do not have my license due to this. My fear of driving and people has kept me from doing normal daily tasks. I couldn’t even get my GED. I have hardly any friends. I lost them all. I also have been in a extremely horrible, disfunctional relationship with someone for 3 years and want to permanently end it. I just hope somebody sees this possibly. I just want to live life and be happy. Thank you for your time.

  49. Trey

    I think I would be good for this show because I was a kid with an interesting childhood. i grew up with a single mother and my two older siblings. My dad left when I was 2 and it turns out that I have 4 younger siblings I have never met. I came out as Gay when I was 12 which was in 2007. From then on my privileges were revoked. I had a curfew, extra chores, and was put on the prayer list at church. Being who I was made my family uncomfortable, they said they love and support me, but their actions spoke otherwise, so far that at 16 I got emancipated and moved to California to become a famous dancer. Being 5″5 I wasn’t tall enough to partner and I became a Gogo dancer paying $300 a month for an elderly wand basement. Once I saved up $3000 I moved out to the west Hollywood area and got my own place at 17. I’m now 21 haven’t been back to Washington state or spoken much to the family. But when we do, we fight.

  52. Nahbi Comrie

    I deserve to have my own MTV True Life as a result of me being the first Jamaican Mixed Martial Arts Fighter to travel to America to live my dream at the age of 23. The process for me to get a fight card is very difficult as a result of everyone doubting me. I believe in myself and Talent that I will wear the UFC lightweight belt in the near future.

  53. Shraddha Shankar

    Hey,
    My name is Shraddha and I think it would be awesome to do an episode on what it’s like to be a first generation immigrant growing up in america, specifically from India. I think I would be great for this episode because well, I am a first generation immigrant and I think it would be really interesting for people to see the difficulties we struggle through that normal american kids wouldn’t have to deal with. I am extremelyyy americanized but having grown up in India all their lives and going to college there, my parents are completely different and I think it would be interesting for everyone to see not only how I interact with them but also see me relate to other first generation immigrants. Please send me an email.

  54. Cassidy

I would love to be on true life to preven teenagers to not have kids so young. It’s very hard and stressful but my daughter is my world.

  55. Jonathan Buss

  57. Kaitlin B

    Hi there, my name is Kaitlin. I am a mom to a four year old girl who’s name is Harlow! Her dad and I do not get along what so ever. We fight constant all the time, we are thankfully not together. He is trying to get more custody of our daughter by accusing me that I do drugs. Which doesn’t work since I am drug tested for my job. Its constant drama with him and he believes that he shouldn’t have to pay child support or daycare fees since I live with my boyfriend of 2 years. Who knew getting pregnant at 16 would have so much drama!!! lol. Its one battle after another. I think people would like my story I did get pregnant at 16 and had to quit school for a year. I home schooled myself for that year and went back for the last year to graduate with my classmates. I want people to know that because you have a kid or because your baby daddy is crazy it shouldn’t stop you from being the best that you can be. Struggles and all !!

  58. Shannya Smith

    Hello MTV. My name is shannya smith. I’m a 14 year old african american. I have this disorder called Misophonia, Literally “hatred of sound”, is a neurological disorder in which negative experiences (anger, flight, hatred, disgust) are triggered by specific sounds. The sounds can be loud or soft. It annoys me when some people eat, breath, drink, and Etc. They said theres no cure but to get over it but you can’t just tell a crack head to get over crack. Sometimes people make me very mad when they chew and they make me wanna hit them or throw something. I hate being at school when girls have gum and they smack it. Everything thing like that annoys me. Thank you for your time and please email me back.

  61. Adri

    Hello! My name is Adrian or Adri for short. I live in Oakland, California. I am a transexual (mtf), queer, 22, multi ethnic, and have various mental illnesses. My diagnosis is Schizoaffective, which is basically a combination of Bipolar 1 and Schizophrenia. In addition to my Axis 1 Diagnosis, I also have high functioning Autism. I was always bullied as a child, and to this day still. I try to keep positive, but still end up hospitalized, im trying my best. So far ive had about 5-6 suicide attempts and 22 psychiatric hospitalizations. I’m trying to work on my coping skills, otherwise I might end of in my state hospital Napa, for a very long time.

    I was kicked out of my parents house in the end of May of this year (2014). I now get to express myself freely as the girl I am. But, this freedom has come with many potentially negative consequences, such as having started doing meth recently as a way to cope, prostitution for money, and having to deal with strangers starring and harassing me for being transexual in public places, being called tranny, transvestite, hermaphordite, and threatened to be beaten or killed by the person who sells me meth if I continue dressing as who I am.

  62. LaiLa

    Hey, my name is LaiLa, I am 18 years old and a college freshmen and Fresno state. If I were to be categorized in True Life I would want it to be, True Life: I Have An Internet Best Friend. I Have a best friend who lives thousands of miles away from me who I met online. Her name is Kayla and I met her on twitter about nine months ago. We met just like normal people would in real life, like at school when you have something in common with another person you instantly have this bond. Once you two start talking and hanging out well that is how the friendship begins. This is how me and my best friend Kayla`s friendship is, just with a twist. Kayla and I are so close, we talk all day every day either through text or voice call. We stay up late whenever either of us are down/ upset or just for fun. We know each others “secrets” and embarrassing stories just like any typical group of best friends. The list goes on and on, we trust each other to the fullest but the sad thing is, we have never met in person before. Having a internet best friend is hard because when all you want to do after a long hard day is cry on your best friends shoulder but when they are thousands of miles apart from you that is not an option. Kayla and I are working together to plan a trip during Spring vacation where we will hopefully meet for the first time ever. But with the never ending list of payments due regarding college I`m starting to worry if we will now be forced to push back our trip/ meeting date.

    I would love to share this experience with MTV because I know from experience that technology can bring people together. I want to show MTV the struggles of having a internet best friend but also the joy of it. Besides family, I do not trust anyone more than I trust Kayla. She is my best friend and I love her so much and I am so eager to meet her in person one day. I am determined to meet my best friend in person one day and I want to bring MTV along for the ride.

  67. Ariel

    My name is Ariel and I’m 25. I live in Elizabethtown, Nc. I believe I’m in a “forbidden” relationship with my girlfriend because the fact of her family not accepting us. I met my girlfriend on instagram and I thought she was the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen so I gave it a try and we clicked from the jump. Knowing that she lived in Michigan at the time made me have some doubts about how it would all work but I never gave up and eventually she flew to be with me. We now live together in Nc and her Grandma hates it. All I ever hear coming from her mouth is bad talk for an example “you both will go to hell” or “how do you dykes expect to get married” it’s hard hearing that but we’re strong and We’re fighting for our happiness seeing that I proposed to my girlfriend Sept 11th 2014 makes things even harder but we’re ready to let everyone know we are in love and we don’t care if people disprove our love.

  68. Tasia Rae

    Let me start off by saying hello my name is Tasia and I am 18 . That’s the typical way of introducing yourself. I want to be on true life because I believe that there isn’t enough LGBT relationships being out there. My girlfriend and I started off as long distance lovers but even through the Ups and Downs we made it work and I eventually flew across the world to be with her. Although my family is against my sexual preference I don’t care because I love her. I want all people of the LGBT community to know they aren’t the only ones out there because I’ve been through it all. It’s hard but when your heart is for someone it’s worth it.

  69. Destinee faith day

  73. Ta'Leon Goffney

    Hi, my name is Ta’Leon Goffney. I’m writing you in a true attempt to redeem my life. I’ve been through the unbelievable. I’ve had much to consider over the years and have grown from my mistakes. My entire story was painted in the wrong light. I’m just trying to get the full truth out there and pay it forward by using my story as a warning to others. I’ve even completed a memoir that will encompass all that I’ve been through and the powerful lessons and message behind it all. I would like the opportunity to fully get my message across and let others know that true change is possible. In the meantime see: epgn.com/news/local/176-after-prison-one-half-of-gay-porn-twins-speaks-out-read-more-pgn-the-philadelphia-gay-news-phila-gay-news-philly-news-after-prison-one-half-of-gay-porn-twins-speaks-out and also: epgn.com/news/local/7485-25420973-gay-porn-twin-talks-life-postprison Thank you!!!
