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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
