In 2010, her life took a turn for the worst. Her personal struggles sent her acting career into hiatus. She suffered with bulimia and self- harm, yet she kept that amazing smile on her face.

She is an inspiration to thousands of girls, not only because of the struggles she's been through, but also because she's saved many lives who have gone through the same struggles as her.
"I wanted to make sure I shared my story. I can either help prevent them from going through the same things that I did, or help them get help." -Demi Lovato
