Demi Lovato
Hello,
this is IGL and this post is about Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato is a singer and
actress, and also, a philanthropist. Demi Lovato is a celebrity that has
struggled through many issues as a child and adolescent, including cutting,
eating disorders, bipolar, substance abuse, and bullying. Demi has been bullied
as a child, but during middle school, the bullying became too much and she
pulled out of public school to be homeschooled. She had a rocky relationship
with her self-esteem issues and her eating disorders. At a young age, she began
binge eating, and soon, throwing herself up because of her bullies. She also
began to cut herself to harm herself.
She
always wanted to become a singer/actress, so she landed a role on Disney
Channel to a short series called As the Bell Rings. People were impressed by
Lovato’s talent and Disney soon gave her the roles in Camp Rock
along with the Jonas Brothers, the sequel, and her own show, Sonny with a
Chance.
Lovato’s
first account of substance abuse was around the age of 12. She got into a car
accident and was prescribed painkillers. She would sneak them from her mother’s
purse and consume them, enjoying the feelings of being taken away of her
conscious. Through her teen years, she began to party a lot and use drugs and
alcohol. After her relationship with Joe Jonas broke, whom she dated for about
two months, she started to frequently party. When one of her own friends
threatened to tell, she punched her and had a nervous breakdown.
Her
family and friends suggested for her to go to rehab, where she was diagnosed
with bipolar disorder. After exiting rehab, she got better, and stopped
cutting, purging, and overcame her past experiences. However, she relapsed, and
continued her substance abuse with cocaine and alcohol. But after one day of
throwing up in the limo, she decided to turn her life around and stay sober. She
lived in a sober living house for quite a time, and now advocates against
glamorizing intoxicants.
She
released her hit single “Skyscraper” in 2011 and published a daily meditation
book called Stay Strong: 365 Days a Year to positively treat a day
better. She advocates against drug and alcohol abuse, reckless partying, self harm,
and hate. She tells people that no matter how they feel, they are beautiful. She
has inspired people to tell their story after she dared to tell hers, and
helped many souls in getting better from their own issues.
Lovato
is also an advocate for LGBT rights, and was crowned the grand marshal for Los Angeles ’s Gay Pride
Parade in 2014. She has publicly announced her love for the LGBT community and
how even though she was Christian, she knew that Jesus loved everyone and
treated them equally. Today, Demi Lovato has been an inspiration to people
everywhere: children, teenagers, and adults. She has been an incredible role
model to people all around the world.
