Apology to Lovato

8-13-11

Miss Demi Lovato has faced many obstacles the past few months. Not only did she punch a friend in the face, but she also suffered from cutting, and sent herself to rehab.

I don’t know about any of you, but I have said some pretty nasty things about the former Disney princess. After careful thought, I’ve realized I was wrong. We need to support her in her struggle, and not hate on her life constantly.

Lovato, I doubt you’ll ever read this, but it’s here. My official apology and a pledge that I support you and your decisions, and I hope you are able to move on from this road block in your life.

Dealing with cutting, and depression isn’t something anyone wants to open up about. Usually, you keep it hidden and try to get over it yourself, on your own. Or you go to therapy/ rehab and try to resolve it. Imagine having it blow up newsstands all over America that you cut, and that your checking yourself into rehab. Also imagine the pressure you feel from the haters, and everyone exprecting you to be perfect. That’s the pressure young Lovato felt, and she didn’t deserve to have to deal with it.

So here’s my tribute to her. My tribute to the young singer/actress. Keep on rocking, Demi. You have thousands of loyal fans behind you, helping you with every step. You truley are a terrific role model.
