“Bullying is a very serious thing to me, I’ve witnessed it first hand — I was bullied myself when I was 12,” says Lovato, now 17, referring to how classmates picked on her because she was a working actress. Things got so bad, she turned to home schooling.
Lovato, who’s hooked up with teensagainstbullying.org, says that her 8-year-old little sister Madison De La Garza, who stars on “Desperate Housewives,” has helped inspire her passion for the subject.
“She’s getting to that age where she could start becoming insecure,” Lovato says. “I want to be able to help other girls around her age come into their own with a strong confidence in their skin, their size, who they are and everything about themselves.”
Many teen stars bristle at the notion of having role model status thrust upon them, but Lovato says she’s fine with it.
“Nobody wants pressure and wants to be under a magnifier glass, but there are ways to be role models without claiming to be perfect,” she says. “I’m learning and dealing with experiences that all teenagers go through. The way I want to be a role model is not by not making mistakes . . . but by helping people overcome things from the obstacles that I’ve overcome.
“That’s how I want to use my voice and that’s how I want to be a role model.“

It’s so true. Who better to help young girls feel good about themselves and beautiful and confident in their own skin than the queen of it all herself, Miss Demetria Lovato? I am just purely amazed at how this one very special, talented, beautiful young lady can do so much for so many people in the one short life she has. Absolutely incredible:) she never ceases to amaze me in so many ways…

If there was any one stand out quality about Demi that I admire the most, find the most appealing, it’s her heart, passion, & care for others, for always helping out & giving her time, money, etc. to charity, speaking out on worthwhile causes like this, & most of all, using her fame to make a real difference in the lives of others & those less fortunate, those who deal w/ being ridiculed, looked down upon, teased, hazed, & treated like they’re nothing but dirt on the ground. As well, I can very much sympathize, relate to D in regards to this very subject. I’ve been bullied for most of my life due to my having depression & feeling as if I was different from everybody. It’s rewarding to know that there are people out there like D who stands up & lends her voice, her time to putting an end to this often overlooked issue.
Kudos & much love to you, D. I don’t know how I can love her more than I already do, but after reading this, that’s very much taken place.
