"No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things." - Demi Lovato
While her success came easy, Lovato was fighting an inner struggle that she didn't know how to fix. She had so many issues that were underneath, that needed to be taken care of. It literally drove her insane she recalls. "I was not eating, and purging, and self-harming. It was really difficult to be able to stop." Demi's parents split up when she was a little kid and how, even at the age of 7, she felt depressed. It was around that time she began to struggle with depression and eating disorders. While in treatment, in addition to self-harm like cutting and eating disorders, the singer found out she was bipolar, but it took her awhile to come to terms with her problems. While she could have kept her demons and struggles to herself, she wanted to air her secrets in a documentary. She thought making the documentary it could really help other teenagers who were struggling, to help them realize that there is hope.Demi is using her past as a chance to speak out about her problems and potentially help other teens dealing with the same issues. Depicted in the picture to the right Demi's hands state "love is louder than the pressure of being perfect." Demi's using her past as a chance to speak out about her problems and potentially help other teens dealing with the same issues.
" Where I am today… I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there toady that need someone to look up to." - Demi Lovato

This biography was very interesting to read, and her story combats a very relevant social issue in today's world. This idea also shows that just because someone seems to be well off or famous, they are not above being hit with social issues. Demi's story about struggling with depression is a good biography to share as it can help people battling the same issues she is, and show them that they too can overcome it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy that you picked someone in the lime light that I didn't know that much about. It was enjoyable the format in which you delivered the biography. The flow and transition with different color and font made it a fun piece to read. The picture you picked to go with it also made the words pop with the upfront quality the photo brings as well as the words on her hands.
