Demi Lovato was recently hospitalized because of what seems to be an overdose.

Recent articles report that she is awake and recovering.

Anybody who knows me knows that I have and always will be a huge fan of Demi. My first concert was actually a The Neon Lights Tour a Demi Lovato concert.

It was such an incredible experience and I have never felt the way I did during the concert still to this day. I cried, screamed, and laughed all throughout the entire concert.

Demi has always resonated with me as an artist because she is not afraid to speak up about her struggles and a few of them, at the time, I could connect with. I was going through a really rough time during my pre-teen and teenage years and Demi's music honestly helped me get through it. I would run straight to her music as a comforting tool whenever I wasn't feeling myself.

I am writing this article to address all the disgusting people that are saying that "well she deserved it" or "this was her choice". How cruel can you be? Addiction is NOT a choice. Period. Demi is going through so much that you and your perfect suburban mind could never even think of. I am standing up for this because I don't want to see any of my friends or family being treated poorly.

Instead of criticizing each other and putting such negative thoughts inside each other's minds, we should be there for one another and just really ask about how people are feeling. You never know what someone is going through unless you ask.

You stretching out an arm to help out a fellow brother or sister can make a huge difference in the long run.
