Currently, I am watching an episode of Tyra Banks and it's about sexting and teens. It is ridiculous and insane and I have a few things to say to Tyra.
Dear Ty Ty,
First, I get you are about empowering girls, but what about the boys on the other side of this sexting? Is it more okay for them to be doing it because they are boys? Do you just want to shame the girls? I'm sure there are little 13-year-old boys who are emotionally torn up with low self-esteem doing this as well. (Or do you not think boys feel that way and any girl who does this must be a hot mess?) Be an equal opportunity helper.
Second, when the girl said she sends sext messages as previews for when she sees her boyfriend, she did mean previews like the movies. Do not act like you didn't understand. It was quite clear and we all know what a preview (in any use of the word) is.
Third, if you can't use the proper terminology in reference to sex around these girls then maybe you shouldn't be the one talking to them. Be an adult Tyra, use your words!
Fourth, isn't this the second show you've done about teens and sexting? You need knew employees. By the way, I'll make myself available to move to NY and work with you.
Fifth, I'm more concerned about that one girl's crazy flipped out bangs than her sexting habits. Please fix them!!!
Sixth, tell these girls that all 13 to eh, about 18-year-old boys are lame anyway and most beyond that age as well. Tell them that little skinny teenage boys who know close to nothing aren't even worth the 5 cents it costs to sext.
Seventh, when that girl said if you sext something you have to do it, you should've said, "No, it's called being a tease." Ha. Zing!
So Tyra, stop jumping done these young ladies' throats and shaming them as much as you can. Instead, actually offer some helpful advice. Or take away every teenager's cell phone. This I would agree with.
Sincerely,
Your #1 Fan
