    THIS is the speech that you listen to when you are struggling. When you need hope. When you need inspiration. I am more than honoured to call this BEAUTIFUL young woman, my IDOL. She means more to me than she will ever know. And I will never be able to pay her back for all she's helped me through.
    She is the reason that millions of us are fighting to stay strong.
    She is a TRUE role model.

    God I cant express how proud I am of her, she's so strong for everything that she's been throug, there is no one who deserves this recognition more than her. I am so happy for everything that has happened in her life these last years, I always waited for that.

    Crying. She really does save lives. It's a shame she's extremely underrated. She's talented AND a wonderful, inspirational person. So proud of her.

    if there ever was any dout that she is one of the best role models out there...she's amazing inside out, she really has helped me get through so many things just as millions of young girls and boys, This is why I love her so much, this is why I listen to her music because every time she sings to us she's telling us she will never let us down.

    This is, ladies and gentlemen, my role model, my idol and my inspiration. I don't know how could people possibly hate on someone like her. I'm so proud of what she's accomplished. I lover you Demi

    Her speech was amazing and so powerful and I know she meant every word. I'm glad she got help and came out with her story.Most celebrities would refuse to tell and keep to themselves but NOT Demi. She saved thousands maybe even millions of young and old today and every day. Proud to be HER Lovatic and call her my inspiration, role model, and literally my everything. Without her, I don't know what I'd do. Her speech was so mature and powerful! (Even though she STILL has her inner child) :)

    I don't know you, but I feel proud of you staying strong, staying there, listening to Demi's music, whatever you're doing, your life can get better and I believe that. So please love yourself everyday. I wish you nothing but the best, Lovatic sister :) you're a WARRIOR and the world will know it. A huge hug from Argentina!

    I just love this lady to pieces. I was sure when I opened this link that I was going to cry, and I did. I'm so proud to call her my role model. I hope someday I get to meet Demi so I can thank her for everything she has done for me and for all the lovatics.

    Demi is an inspiration to me. I also struggled with an eating disorder and depression. I think of her often whben I am struggeling. Its good that she didnt go bad like some other childhood stars, she is a great role model for young and old, and is very successful. Love you Demi. your #1 fan!

    Demi is my inspiration. She has saved so many lives, including mine. It's hard for people to understand, but music really saved me and Demi's strength saved me. Beautiful speech. So proud of her ♥

    You saved my life Demi! I'm proud to say I'm a Lovatic!ღ You sharing your story saved me from bizarre addictions and I'm so thankful for that. I truly love you for everything you have done and still do for us Lovatics. I'm grateful to have you as my role model, you taught me the true meaning of life and taught me to love myself for who I am. You taught me that it's okay not to have the "perfect figure" and you taught me that I'm beautiful in my own way just like everyone else is. I love you! ;*

  • @RockinLovatic7
    @RockinLovatic7 11 років тому

    That speech was absolutely amazing. THIS is why I love her so much. THIS is why she's my #1 rolemodel. People always ask me why I'm so obsessed with her, and I don't think they'll ever understand. Not even Demi herself. Her music helps me get through even something as little as a bad day at school, and I'm so thankful for that. No matter what anyone says, Demi is truly inspirational and beautiful.

    for basically half of my life I've prayed for someone to step into it and say something that could have helped me. when she stepped out and told her story I felt like THAT was the kind of help I needed. she gives me strenght every day. when I have a bad time I turn to her and she's always there. It's amazing how much she helps me every single time. I am so proud of her and so proud to be her fan and to call her my role model and inspiration because one day I hope I turn out to be just like her.

    I literally cried throughout Demi's entire speech! She is such a brave and strong person. She is a survivor and thanks to her, so are many other teenageers in the world. I am one of them. Had it not been for Demi speaking out about her problem, I would have probably died from mine. Her story made me believe I can overcome my issues and I can SURVIVE. Thank you Demi for being the best public figure for teenagers, boys and girls, to look up! You are a truly inspiring person. #LovaticForLife #Proud

    Hello. Thank you so much, i'm so honoured to be here and i'm so grateful for the oppertunity to be the person for awareness day 2013. It's really funny to be named chaire person, for somebody my age. But I think when people look at me, they see a young woman. And yes, my life is blessed in many ways and i'm grateful for that. I have lived alot of life already and gained alot of perspective. As many of you know, telling my story is very important to me.

    And without music it would be hard for me to stay in recovery. It's not an easy balance, sometimes it takes alot on me. When you have a mental health issue, or you are suffering from abuse, you are going to have days when you struggle . But I will not let my past define who I am today. I'm a survivor of mental health issues and addictions, I am not ashamed. Thank you.

    Because I love most about touring, and music is the connection that I make with my fans. . I think we are on the earth to help others and if you can, you have to do it. That's why I'm here today. To people who have life questions, they are not alone. There are people you can talk to, people that can help. My family and friends really pull together for me, I wasn't happy about the intervention. Till I realised how much they cared. They just wanted me to be happy and healthy.
