Demi Lovato Says She Was Suicidal At 7
When you read something like that, you wonder if she should have ever continued being on television or if her parents should have pulled her away from the fame and pressure and seen if they could offer her a normal life. Perhaps if they had done so her parents' marriage would have been better too and then she would not have been estranged with her recently deceased father. Lovato also says in the interview that she is singling and talking to people because God wants her too.

I like Demi, she's funny. I hope she can work through her personal issues.
Am i the only person that can not stand this brat? Suicidal at 7? Puh-leeze. She's taking as much advantage as she can off of Paris Jackson--ever since Paris' attempt Demi cant stop whining about "oh this was me, oh!" Shut up you brat just shut up.
Did you just blame her for her parent's divorce?
WTF is up today
What's "singling"?
@Bacon...I was just gonna say that! WTF, indeed?!
No he said maybe if her parents had taken her out of the spotlight they might have had a better chance to stay a happy family. Are you guys just wanting to call him out today?
@VIP-Is that supposed to be single or singing?
"Perhaps if they had done so her parents' marriage would have been better too and then she would not have been estranged with her recently deceased father."
Demi's fame broke up her parents' marriage and killed her dad...
I guess there's a reason "Demi has never been a person who has completely shared everything going on in her life."
has anyone else noticed that she seems to have no friends? i never see her hanging out with anybody her own age. at first i thought maybe it had somethng to do with the fact that her friends still partied, but you dont always have to party with friends. i dunno..
DEMI KILLS PEOPLE.
Reno I don't think it's 'him' anymore. I think 'he' sold the site and some jackass is writing it now.
There, I said it.
We smell our own.
Demi's father had issues, and it's not fair to say that she had anything to do with the divorce.
In the interview she does say that there were other things going on which she does not wish to talk about right now. She said that she lets her songs do the talking for her, and some fans think that she might've been abused.
Point is, we have no idea. Calling her fake, an attention whore and a liar is such a dick move because you have no idea what's going on behind closed doors.
I know that you guys think that. I'm just tired of the complaining.
Just b/c she was suicidal at 7 doesn't mean her parents knew anything. I speak from experience.
How can anyone be suicidal at 7?
Or that they had any clue how to handle if. Parents are just people too. It sucks but it's true.
You would be surprised.
Tbh, at first I was feeling sorry for her when it was first known to the public that she went to a mental facility/rehab, but now I am sooooooooooo over it.
Her career only exists because she complains all the time and releases snippets of dramatic info every few weeks..
If you compare her to other actresses from the same branch; Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, they barely get press and they are just as forgettable as her. Just the issues all the time, that's her career. I never hear anything about her singing or acting, and tbh I don't even know if she still does that.
It's like Miley version 2: only attention because of personal life, but claiming it is about her 'art'.
@sandybrook --
Children Committing Suicide
Demi's problems are not rooted in her career. She goes on to say in the article that things had already happened to her by the time she got on TV and although she won't say what, she does say that her song Warrior tells her story. So I Googled it. That girl was most definitely sexually abused. And yeah, that sure could make a seven-year-old suicidal.
I love you Bacon Ranch!
Thanx Bailey so basically Demi is mentally ill according to the drs quotes in that article. She seems to fit that description. Definitely troubled.
Some people are born chemically imbalanced, so it's entirely possible. Sounds like she was a sensitive kid.
She's honestly a miracle of making it through
Forgot VIP being Enty. Me thinks Reno is the real blonde behind Enty.
Her fame had nothing to do with the divorce of her parents... they divorced when she was only 2... and her father had issues, like alcohol issues... she sings about that in her song "For the love of a daugther"...
And, about being suicidal at 7... well in this interview she hints that something traumatic has happened with her when she was a kid but don't give details... so, yeah... she doesn't share everything and I don't see why she has to...
She prob wld hv had issues whether she was on tv ir not. And WHO'S telling her to sing???? That i find creepy. Sounds schizoid to me. I wish her well.
Oh... and Enty, you always say that she doesn't talk about her drugs and alcohol issues... well, take a look at this vÃdeo, starting in 4:00

you know, I LOVE Demi and her voice is one of the best of all time (I think), but I'm going to have to side with you. I just don't know about this interview. if she was so damaged as a child, then why wasn't she in therapy at 7?
I'm amazed that with how much people hate the "new enty" that anyone bothers to read, let alone post here anymore. I guess complaining is more fun.
"You're enty!!!!" has become the new "Troll!!!!"
I really like Demi. I'm sorry for her that she has been fighting demons from such a young age.
Perhaps enty is right...maybe it would have been better for her whole family if her parents had pulled her out of Hollywood when she was young.
@littlejenny - Because 7 year olds can't make psychiatrist appointments? Trauma and issues can display themselves very early in life (google reactive attachment disorder). It's the parents' responsibility to make the proper decisions for their children. They chose to push her into a career in entertainment.
Aaannnddd, here's Lola to put all of us into out little places!
Jesus H! Suicidal at 7 means she either has had some horrific events happen to her or she's mentally ill and needs serious help. Then again, don't most mental illnesses manifest during puberty?
Lola, it's probably because many of us remember the days when a guy with a sense of humor wrote this site. Perhaps we are clinging to a glimmer of hope that he will return and take the keys away from the 'couldn't make a joke right even if handed a recipe' b*tch that is writing for him now.
Has anyone else of note died today? Because I for one cannot wait for another completely unrelated Angelina Jolie slam.
I am old so my only real experience with her was last season's X-Factor and I found her to be really spoiled and obnoxious. She was on a panel with LA Reid, Simon Cowell and Britney Spears and she acted like she was God's gift to the music business.
I've seen her sing a couple of times and didn't think she was that great.
I respect her getting help for her personal issues but maybe she needs to clear those up before she puts herself out there as some kind of guide for others.
Sorry she lost her father--and she's not responsible for her parent's problems and choices--only for her own adult decisions.
@lola: the main reason people still come here is for the other posters.
Also, maybe there is hope the saggin #'s and complaints will cause a change in Faux Enties, to one that isn't bitter and humorless.
I got the strong impression she was sexually abused and that is what drove her to be suicidal at age 7. Since she was estranged from her dad, it makes me think that he was the perpetrator and that she wouldn't want to talk about it now so soon after his death. But maybe someday. Obviously I'm just speculating so I could be very wrong.
Yup. And what I have learned about gluten sensitivity is that it was a MAJOR cause of my lifelong mood swings which I no longer have. That plus lack of omega 3s, known to be a factor in schitzophrenia.
A school for learning disabled & troubled kids with low grades had thefood changed. To whole foods with no gluten/grain/processed foods and VOILA! Grades shot up & behavior problems died down.
Huh!
I was physically abused as a little kid. I prayed for it to end (one reason I don't do religion) when it didn't end yes as a child I was suicidal. Dad beats you Mom don't care ooh believe me it can happen.
@AnonyMousE, you are, as always, more than welcome to skip over my posts. Or, if you prefer, you can put me on ignore. Then you don't have to feel put in your place whenever I post.
I like AnonyMousE. Who doesn't love cheese?
You're here, so you must love cheese!
@ Lola, that sounds interesting, how do I put you on ignore?
@Beardy...you'll have to poke around in your blogger profile to find it.
However, please disregard this answer if you're ignoring me.
Indeed Madam, I love cheese. I don't like faux cheese, however. There is nothing worse than being told you don't need to bring a cheese plate (as the hostess will provide it) only to find pseudo cheese awaiting you.
Real cheese is the best.

@AnonyMousE...
Yeah, see...I got that already.
Anyway, I thought you were ignoring me since you didn't like being "put in [y]our place."
+1 Count
and AnonyMousE I have a confession:
"I" was the one who moved your cheese.
Bacon! You're evil! Just like anon a miss! Evil!
*sobs*
STOP THE PRESS! How do I put you and Anna on ignore? PLEASE LET ME KNOW, KTHANKSBYE LOLA!!
You can't ignore other posters on Blogger, more's the pity.
My 14 year old daughter says she has had suicidal thoughts since she was 10. She is in therapy ,on meds and we hope it eventually helps.At the beginning of summer she was in a mental ward for adolescents. She didn't feel safe because of her thoughts and had attempted to act on them.
She has not been abused or come from a broken home.Aside from an older half sibling that taught her to self harm and put some very macabre ideas into her head at 10, her life is very normal.
It is the hardest thing we've ever had to face with one of our children. She says daily she just hates living and thinks this world is bullshit. She was diagnosed with severe anxiety which became depression. She is addicted to self harm.but we've been told by her psych that is about control issues.Cutting has complexities all it's own.
She is a very sensitive,perfectionist artistic type of person. Her writing ability far surpasses that of most kids her age yet she struggles with math. She is her own worst critic. Her level of self-loathing may take years to overcome. It is heartbreaking to watch my beautiful child go thru this.
Looking at how my child felt at 10 it isn't surprising to me at all Demi felt how she did at 7.
@deree...i am so sorry for the struggles your daughter, and by extension your family, have and are gong through. I can't imagine the pain she must be in. I hope that she is eventually able to find light and hope.
Thank you! Every day is a constant work in progress. I'm a firm believer that positivity and love go a long way to heal even the most broken.
It's totally possible to be suicidal even younger than that.
It is very hard to take kids seriously when they actually are in need of therapy if they have drama queen type personalities. I know many tweens that threaten their parwnts with negative consequences if they don't get their way. My own daughter who does have issues got lost in the perception her acting out was for manipulation. Telling us she was going to kill herself was a scare tactic to make us give in on something she wanted.
Until this year we didn't take her seriously. 4 years of her having those feelings. We thought it was just her age and hormones.I don't exactly feel like mother of the year but we are trying to right our wrongs.
My guess is when Demi started feeling suicidal at an age when what to put on Barbie should be their biggest worry it is highly probable no one took her seriously either.
@carolinec - Demi used to be BFFs with Selena Gomez - but something happened a few years back and they don't even speak anymore.
@deree - it's really hard to separate actual depression from the tween drama, even if you are trained to look for it. Not your fault, it's hard to know what to do, but you got there before it got past the point of no return.
It drives me crazy that people still think that there's an age at which emotions suddenly become valid and before that, no one feels anything intensely. Yes, 7 year olds can feel suicidal, hatred, anger, joy, love, and every other emotion.
When I was about seven years old, my stupid older cousin broke my Barbie Dreamhouse, on purpose. That son of a bitch. To this day I remember the hatred I felt, the shaking awful rage. I punched him. Then I threw up.
But those emotions I felt at that age were the strongest, the purest whether they were rage, joy, fear. I still remember them, and all the puking I did at that age because I was mad a lot. So I believe it's possible about Demi.
My cousin is still on my shit list. >:(
I agree whole heartedly. Sending you best wishes.
@deree, your kids right; the world IS bullshit. I've been in lots of therapy, on different meds, etc. when I found the right therapies and felt heard, and stopped investing in the world and started investing in small things that brought me joy, I felt healed.
I would think that the chemical imbalance that can cause depression is possible at any age. I also got the impression that Demi was sexually molested. And I totally disagree with her parents decision to put that little child into a profession that is so harsh. Look at the photo shopping the magazine does on the pictures for the article. She bleaches her hair, had had plastic surgery, has an eating disorder, and now the magazine photo shops her 30 lbs lighter. Sorry Demi. Nice try, but STILL not good enough.
@sandybrook It's very easy to become suicidal at 7 when mental illness runs in your family. It runs in mine. I was suicidal at 11.
@Mala: That;s because (according to Enty)Demi gave Bieber a BJ, which made Selena mad.
Singing to a dingaling
bi polar disorder is so debilitating, and it sounds like something else very serious, dark and disturbing was going on in her young home life.
