(rock nyc) As a kid Demi Lovato stated she was bullied and tormented which lead to an eating disorder and then the manifestation of self mutilation tendencies or 'cutting'. But the beauty here is the rise above mentality of the now 19 year old Lovato. She performed at the Highline Ballroom and stopped the show to address her audience with the following: "A year ago today … I was not in a good place," "I needed help and I want anybody in this audience to know that if you're struggling with one of the issues that I dealt with or a different issue, that you can get help, that you can recover and it's possible if you just tell someone."
"There are so many beautiful girls in this audience that don't know that they're beautiful, but they just are," she said. "So I want to thank you guys for being there for me every single day I was away. I wouldn't be here without you guys today." more on this story
