Singer Demi Lavato has been rushed to the hospital following a heroin overdose. This is just so horrible and sad. Please pray for her.

another popstar messed up due to a drug overdose
-
A part of me feels bad for her, another part of me thinks she's doing this all to herself. Why should I feel bad for her? I empathize with starving children or the homeless, not another millionaire "musician" who's throwing it all away for drugs.

There are ppl who use to cope with their problems. Obviously she is under a lot of pressure in Hollywood, money or not people go through things. Drugs are a powerful substance, numbing you from problems. Sleeping away depression. I feel for her and hope she gets better.

I have to side with Brian on this one. This young lady was fairly talented, appeared to be financially stable, and had opportunities that so many people would be grateful for. Pretty much the same thing with Anthony Bourdain. But the public will immortalize these people who selfishly make extremely poor choices without any regard for the harm this may have on the less fortunate. Copy cats will point to all that Lovato/Bourdain had, none of which the aspiring copy cat has, and come to the conclusion that if life is not good enough for her/Bourdain than it certainly isn't good enough for the copy cat.Fox News is quoting reactions from celebrities as "No one is more honest or brave". Seriously? Such a great message, let's all aspire to be brave/honest and seek the easy way out. Not seeing that quote on CNN, Reuters, BBC or the AP.

It's really sad that Demi is still struggling with drug abuse. She's a pretty girl and has talent. There's no reason for her to throw her life away like this. I pray for her to find strength through the Lord.
-
Representatives close to her have said it wasn't heroin, but that it was something else. I wish her a speedy recovery.
-
I hope she can pull through this, so sad :(
-
Whatever she is going thru that made her go that route, will still be there, overdosing on drugs is common and life scaring. She knows that deep down inside that doing this is and will never cure the problem, taking such drastic steps like that is showing others that this is the easy way out, but it's not.

Yeah I just heard hope she is okay
-
Very sad in deed. I hate hearing about celebrities that think they have the power to do what they want and think they are invincible. Very sad!
-
I know she had an eating disorder so I wonder if this is a relapse.
-
So sad. I don't know why people have to waste their time and money on drugs. I don't like taking what the doctor prescribes, so I definitely won't buy and take any drug for fun. -smh
-
Dang... I hadn't heard this. I hope she comes out of this.
-
I will keep her in my prayers. Such a beautiful young lady with great talent. Praying she will overcome this and stay away from drugs.
-
It's just heartbreaking she can't battle her demons and doesn't seem to get the help she needs. Everyone who 'claims' they are friends are always in shock when something like this happens or 'claim' they saw it coming but did nothing. I personally think out of all of them, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber etc., she's the best. Her delivery on songs is not only powerfully sung but powerfully emotional the way songs should be. I just wish there was someone who could guide her from this darkness she can't see to get out from.
-
Prayers for her, she tried to be sober for how many years but maybe i so hard. Just praying that she can recover and stop doing it. She have a nice life ahead.
-
I really don't know much about this gal. In fact I used to get her and Selena Gomez mixed up. I don't follow much of pop culture. There is enough tragedy close to home, work and community to get shook up about. It is sad that this young girl has OD'd. Clearly there is a problem for her to be turning to heroin to begin with. Some role model for youth! Everyone has problems, everyone needs to learn how to deal with them. Pray she's able to kick the habit... get the physical, mental and most importantly spiritual help she needs.
-
She hasn't had any songs I like, tbh. Maybe I'm getting too old for today's pop stars -- I still listen to J Lo and Beyoncé, while I think Demi and Selena Gomez have boring songs (Ke$ha is really good though!!). Still, I really hope this is a wake up call that she needs to get her act together. I know she's strongly anti-bullying, which is something I feel strongly about as well, so she clearly has some good qualities to her character. I wouldn't call drug use a character flaw, but it's stupid (and yes, I can say that because I've used before -- never again!!!!). Regardless, wishing her the best.
-
It's sad how bad the drug epidemic is.
-
proves money and fame doesnt always bring happiness hopes she will be ok
-
I read about it the other day. I hope she can get the help that she needs because she really has a serious problem that can take her life if she does not get help.
-
its hard to be rich and not trying things
-
It's hard to imagine. Gotta feel for her and her poor parents. I have a brother who has thrown his life away to meth, rebuilt it, and threw it away again.
-
Obviously, despite success, money and fame, people still have demons that they can't control when they turn to drugs, alcohol, and ultimately suicide. I liked Anthony Bourdain and still wonder what was the underlying cause for him to turn to death as his answer. Hopefully, Demi will get the help she needs to remain sober and pursue whatever it is she wants and needs in her life. Taking drugs is a symptom of a much deeper underlying problem.
-
Very sad. Addiction is quite scary. :( I really hope she can recover from this.
-
I really love and respect Demi. She's so talented and I love how open she is about her struggles and everything she does to help others who are struggling. I feel so bad that she relapsed and hope she will be okay!
-
It is very sad.... problem is that people get so much money and they just don't know what to do with it. smh
-
So sad, hope she gets the help she needs, so many people that have fame have a lot of enablers around them who are not willing to call out the bad behavior, they stay quiet to stay in the good graces of the person.
-
It's horrible when celebrities lives become so stressful that they fall back on something that will hurt them. Prayers going out to Demi. She needs a good therapist if she plans to stay in her business.
-
Last I heard, she is recovering very well, and her bodyguard was largely (if not solely) responsible for saving her life. Hopefully, she can get herself on the right track and remain sober.
-
I was wondering why I don't hear anything about her, did not even know she relapse again.
-
Hopefully another example for our young kids of the dangeroes associated with drug abuse.

Are dangeroes only associated with drug abuse? Or are there other dangeroes we should be aware of.
Sorry; couldn't help myself. :silly:
:fish:

It says a month after the overdose she is doing better. But it is a long road back.

They suffer from mental illness also known as evil spirits. Satan sends demons to steal, kill and destroy. It's such a shame that people die because they don't get treatment for mental illness. So many people drug up because they're more comfortable being in an altered state. Reality is real and should be dealt with as such. You can't hide from yourself because every where you go, there you are. So, whatever the problem is, face it, solve it and move with a lightness because you've cleared up the matter. It's okay if other problems arise, because they're bound to. Just solve them; since, they don't disappear without being solved. You'll manage life in a more conscious state.

Hello! :D :)

That is horrible. Hopefully she is doing better now
-
Just goes to show money and success isn't always happiness.
-
I hope she continues to recover. She has been having drug problems since a very young age and has been in rehab before. She had just celebrated 6 years drug free..drugs are a constant forever struggle and I hope she is able to get over this. Hopefully she will continue to get the help she needs..her drug problems started before she was successful.
