Demi Lovato is another celebrity who inspires me because she became public about her struggles throughout her life. Throughout her school years she struggled with her weight and being bullied. The torment she faced caused her to develop an eating disorder. She started cutting herself at the age of 11 as a coping mechanism. Last year, she checked herself into a rehabilitation center to help with her struggles with food and self-harm. After she checked out of rehab, she reached out to other girls suffering from similar diseases. She told them, “It’s very crucial that you get your feelings out, but don’t ever inflict harm on your own body because your body is so sacred.” Overall, she appears to be a genuinely kind person who doesn’t change herself to fit in at Hollywood.
I think it is really inspiring that Demi Lovato is able to speak about her own insecurities and try and help other girls. She made me realize that not even celebrities have perfect lives! She is a girl who has fame and fortune but still has things she is insecure about. She also taught me that bullying can affect other people more than you know. It can have serious and harmful lifelong effects. It is likely that because she was bullied because of her weight, she turned to self-harm and became bulimic. I learned that you should never have to take insults from anyone. You have to stick up for yourself or the bullying will continue. It is inspiring to see an actress in Hollywood who doesn’t look like they starve themselves to look skinny. It makes girls feel that they don’t have to be a size 0 to be pretty. It is inspiring to see an actress who doesn't sacrifice herself and her personality just for the sake of being accepted.
