i'm the first rip for everything torn.
Stay Strong ~ Demi Lovato
I just recently heard about Demi Lovato...A while back I had seen a picture of her - www.oceanup.com/legacy/2008/12/11/demi-lovato-cutter.jpg that focused on some dark scars on her wrists. Some people said they were cutting scars, while she stated they were from wearing too tight of wrist bands. I could tell those marks were NOT from bracelets. I just shrugged it off though. Then later I heard she had gone to "Rehab" and I wondered what it was all about. Finally I heard news about an interview where she explained everything, here is what she said :
Demi was teased in school when she was little. Kids would call her "fat" and make fun of her. Because of this she started starving herself, she was really depressed and started having suicidal thoughts at 7 years old. She started cutting because she had all these emotions built up inside her and it was a way to release those emotions. It was also a way to punish herself and express her self shame. She loved to get on stage and sing so this helped a little with her deppression. But still behind the scenes her self consciousness was dragging her down. When she got into Disney they had no knowlegde of all of Demi's 'problems' and I'm sure she and her family tried to kind of keep it a secret. She hid her scars with make up or jewlery. Recently she started dating Joe Jonas. They had really good chemistry together and were good friends. Not too long after Joe broke up with her, my theory is that Joe found out about her secrets and it kind of scared him. A little while after something happened and Demi physicaly struck one of her dancers. This is when her family made an intervention and said, "This has to stop, you need help." so she went to a hospital for women and they diagnosed her as being bipolar and bolemic. After getting out of the hospital Demi got a tattoo on each of her wrists (the places where she cut) that said "Stay" & "Strong" which was what her fans were saying to her while she was in the hospital.
All of this really struck me. I can relate and have been through the same kind of things. I respect her alot more now. In her sad songs like "Don't Forget" you can really tell her emotions bleed through the music.
