Why is It Okay for Demi to Abuse Drugs And Get Second Chances But not your Everyday person?

In this article, I write about why it is so hypocritical to be giving Demi second chances for her abuse of drugs when the same people who are still making excuses for her wouldn't support and help their friend if they were struggling.

Why is It Okay for Demi to Abuse Drugs And Get Second Chances But not your Everyday person?

Demi Lovato overdosed on heroin last week. This was a relapse, soon after she said that she was clean and happy. It seems like Demi keeps making the same mistakes but her fans keep making excuses for her. If this was your friend- if they were struggling with drugs and you kept helping them to get clean, but they kept relapsing, would you continue to support them and make excuses for them? No. You would get sick and tired of it. It would drain you. You would let them go.

What amazes me is that some people I know that are supporting her are die-hard Christians, and wouldn't be caught dead with someone who even smoked pot. It's just very contradicting and hypocritical.

I feel for Demi, I do. I know that she has bipolar depression and that she has been struggling with this for years. I have major depression mood disorder and anxiety. But to use this as an excuse to use heroin is illogical. Heroin is very harmful to you and only makes the depression worse. Couldn't she just smoke pot? Pot is medically legal in a lot of states and has shown to prove beneficial effects for depression.

Now for Demi's friends- are you really her friends? Are you really her friends if you're giving her heroine or letting her inject heroin? Why are you not stopping her? If you really cared about her, you wouldn't let her put such a harmful chemical into her body. And if you're giving drugs to her, you probably need some help too.

Demi needs wholesome, genuine friends that truly care about her. Demi needs more friends that don't abuse drugs and that will not let her abuse drugs. Demi needs friends who are strong and who will stick by her through her treatment and recovery. We don't need another deceased celebrity due to something senseless.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
