by Anonymous 14 years ago

Uh. Self respect and eating disorder/cutting do NOT belong in the same sentence.

At least she knows it's wrong and is smart enough to know she can't quit by herself.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Yeah she could have waited until it got really serious like a lot of other stars who wait until they are on the verge of death and even then have to ordered to go. She was smart about it.

If she wanted to keep her Disney image, she had to. I think it was a smart decision, obviously, but I think she did it to make up for the fact that she punched a dancer and got caught doing drugs..

by Anonymous 14 years ago

She punched a dancer because of the mental problems. I know one of the dancers. And she was never caught doing drugs?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Okay but for some odd reason, I feel the only way she could keep her Disney image after punching a dancer would be to go to a rehab center. I don't think it had so much to do with intelligence as the desire to keep up an image.

i heard she tried to kill herself...

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I just don't get it. She's so successful and loved, but then she goes and cuts herself and has an eating disorder. Just goes to show that you don't know what people are going through cause you can't tell stuff like that from the surface, especially cause she always acts happy.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I think nobody really knows her besides herself...but checking herself into rehab for whater reason was very respect-worthy.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I understand you dont know a person and cant know what they go through, but i still think its stupid. I know they're under a whole lot of pressure and always scrutinized for everything when their famous and theres the eating disorder and its good she went into rehab. But cutting her self? wtf? There are people in this world that suffer 100x greater than what her life is like and not all try and kill themselves, ill never understand the famous and rich

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Not every one who cuts themselves WANT to die. I see your point, but, cutting is like a small relief of everything. It's like..."getting rid" of the pain (emotional pain) b causing physical pain (cutting). I think, not only was she in a lot of pressure, but there is SOMETHING, bothering her. Something big, that happened in her childhood. That's what I think. But...yeah.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

The only official thing that has been said is that it was "emotional and physical issues" and the rumour going around was that is was "cutting and an eating disorder"

by Anonymous 14 years ago

It would make sense for it to be a eating disorder considering her fatness as a chjild

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Not really, shes in a healthy weight, when you have an eating disorder you are either too thin or too fat. Starving once in a while is not an eating disorder, sorry guys, but its not. She just wants attention.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Not everyone with an eating disorder is stick thin or morbidly obese. For example, bulimia can be hard to detect (other than signs such as a deteriorating esophagus), because purging only gets rids of about half the calories eaten.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

You can tell who has bulimia though, and anorexia, because you can't walk, or stand up, because you don't have the energy to move, you can't eat nothing because your body got used to starve. your teeth are yellow, black, or just messed up. Even when you have bulimia, you have to have a feeding tube. your nails look like paper, your hair falls off, and it looks just.. horrible. Some of your organs stop working, like your intestines, at the point were you might need surgery. you can tell who has bulimia or anorexia, starving or throwing up every now and then does not make you anorexic or bulimic.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

That's worst-case scenario. The people who look like that have been anorexic or bulimic for years.

I thought that was Demi said about her eating disorder O_o. I apologize then.

You people don't understand depression and eating disorders. Even if you're "rich and famous" you can be depressed. Look at Owen Wilson! It usually has nothing to do with what's going on with your life. It's a mental disorder! Same with eating disorders. I unfortunately am dealing with both, even though I'm at a healthy weight and there are billions of people with more "problems" than me. Demi Lovato is amazing for getting help. Please respect her and don't make light of her illness by saying she just wants attention.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

No. Still not self respect. Or smart. Its called having an agent. Also, hollywood. Rehab is great publicity.

Because it's SO hard being a Disney Star.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I don't know who that is and don't care.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

She didn't look that skinny to me. I guess anorexia doesn't always necessarily show at first.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

With Eating disorders you go to treatment, not rehab. And I'm very proud of Demi for checking herself in(:

by Anonymous 14 years ago

She's dumb, disney isn't going to want her back after this outburst, plus she hangs out with people like Jack Vanek and Jefree Star, what does a 17/18 year have in common with 25 year olds besides drinking and drugs?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Not really. She has the money to go to rehab. Most people don't. Oh well. Another one bites the dust.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I'm so sick of people saying that she's a horrible role model and that she's stupid and all that. She's one of very few people that actually checked HERSELF in and it had nothing to do with drugs. I hope she's doing well and gets better soon.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

But she looks plenty healthy, how could she have an eating disorder?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

News said heavy drinking and cocaine use.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I completely agree. She checked HERSELF in rehab. I respect her. With cutting herself, and an eating disorder, she checked herself into rehab, and people just assume she did it for publicity? I'm sorry, but to me that's just so rude. I've never been a fan of her work, but I do not in any way think that she is a bad role model. I just hate that people assume the worst, and say she did it for attention. I realize that none of know for sure, but she's had a clean image up until now.. I just don't think it's right the way some people are talking about her.
