Demi Lovato Body Shames Women

I thought she was against body shaming, I guess not.

It takes a lot to get me up in arms about something, but this has really hit a nerve. I was caught off guard. Demi Lovato has spent a large part of her career advocating for shaming and discrimination to stop. She really was against body shaming, or so I thought

I was reading through my newsfeed on Facebook the other day and came across a click bait post about Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. I was bored and it caught my attention, so I clicked. I didn't expect to read what I did. I researched to make sure it was true. It was hard to believe that it actually was.

Demi Lovato body shamed a whole group of women saying their bodies were not “normal.” These women happened to be Taylor Swift and her friends. I'm taken aback. For someone who has been bullied for her weight and body, she has some nerve saying what she did.

She went through this growing up, people constantly making comments about her weight and how it went up and down. I remember when she took herself to get help because of how bad things were and how how all the comments were getting to her.

She should know that to do that is not okay. It hurts people. It can cause a lot of problems, including someone hurting themselves. It can be a very serious issue. You don't say these things if someone has a mental illness or they hurt themselves. Comments like what she made cause more damage than good.

She doesn't get to decide what is and isn't normal. Normal weight is based on a lot of things, none of which she was referring to. They should not be shamed for looking the way they do. If they are happy with themselves, we should be too.

We need to support one another instead of shame. Promote the good things and not comment about weight. Weight shouldn’t be everyone's concern. It can cause medical issues, but that is between a doctor and patient, not some person on the street.

I'm hoping this was just a bad day for her, and that she wasn't thinking when she posted that and that she feels bad. What she said is not acceptable. Hopefully she apologizes to them.

Shaming or discrimination of any kind should not happen. I'm going to call anyone who does it out. It's time to grow up and act like adults.

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.
