People often forget the difference between being alone and feeling lonely. You can be alone and totally content, but feeling lonely when there’s plenty of people physically around is an awful feeling.
@@analisadavis8097 I feel like that was a cry for help There are a lot of signs , people just miss it off... drug addiction is a huge issue and i hate how some people shame on them, using their insecurities and weaknesses as something to bash at
To anyone who watches this: relapse is, unfortunately, a part of recovery. Don’t feel ashamed or anything, it’s something almost every recovering addict goes through
@LuvaMsp I totally agree with you even though she did drugs she speaks out on it she is trying to get better. Plenty of songs glorify drugs drinking and killing where as she is being open and speaking on the struggle of addiction.
@@yolandastargaze4565 She is a role model for putting her struggles out there and showing people that they're not alone. No one is perfect and there will always be mistakes, but being open about drug addiction (as well as Depression and Eating Disorders, for her) lessens the stigma so more people (especially young people) feel the like they can reach out for help. Calling someone names for their mistakes helps no one.
@@yolandastargaze4565 they never said drugys are role models because demi isn't a drugy she's demi lavoto her addiction doesn't define her have some empathy
I’ve dealt with depression and eating disorders my whole life. I remember when Demi’s first documentary came out I changed my own life. I got 2 of her tattoos to celebrate my change. Then a few years ago I tried to take my own life. I was ashamed. But seeing Demi fall and continue to get back up has always pushed me to fight for myself. I hope she does too. Please fight for yourself friends. There will be better days. Stay strong. xx
Katherine Prado I didn’t have an eating disorder but I know how you feel I also got 3 of her tattoos but we all can stay strong and that’s amazing that your overcame a lot of obstacles in your life stay strong
Bogus you do realize it’s hard for her. addiction is HARD. sometimes it’s not their fault. you never know someone’s situation. she was in a bad place. she’s trying.
this is similar to Chester from Linkin Park situation, he was singing songs about his depression and problems but no one ever reached out, she got another chance, don't waste it.. be strong.
As someone who loves Demi and has followed her for years, I knew the song was a cry for help but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. She's fallen again but I don't think less of her, I just pray that she gets help and wants the help.
Coming from a recovering addict, it is a very long road that NEVER ends!! There will be many bumps in that road. Some of us relapse, others don't. I pray for her and I know she can make it! Thank you for bringing this even more into the light! 🙏
I'm a person in recovery as well. I'm glad you posted this comment. And to anyone still sick and suffering... Reach out.. Find help.. You can do this. YOU NEVER HAVE TO USE AGAIN!
Dylon as long as the person is wanting to get sober and stay that way, then there is nothing or no one that will stop them. Nothing comes before my sobriety. It took me 20 years to get there but it's so worth it! Congratulations to you and I wish you nothing but the best!
It's so heartbreaking to hear what's happened with Demi recently and we are all hoping and praying she's alright because we need strong people like her in the world. She's a warrior and has been through a lot and if anything this will only make her stronger.
That song was so deep and moving. Demi is clearly going through stuff that none of us understand, but she deserves so much more than that. She’s a big part of my childhood, and seeing her go through this made me realize how much we don’t see behind the scenes. I truly hope she gets in a better state mentally so she’s happy with herself. She deserves the world.
When Demi is recovered I would really love to see her react to this video in particular. Because she is soo real it would be a genuine reaction that I think would be awesome to watch
That’s the sad truth. It’s possibly because no one understands how she could feel n she feels like it’d be too hard to explain to someone else, so she would bottle it up inside..
Im just praying that she recovers. I don't want to lose an other amazing artist. And it's kind of depressing not being able to just go to them, be there for them and give them all your love. I also just want to give the girl in the blue shirt a BIG BIG hug.
This was especially shocking because she was sober for six years. But the effort never stops and addiction is never cured. It just takes one slip. I hope she gets the help she needs. Also just a psa if someone in your family has an addiction, you should be careful around things that can become addictive, because it's hereditary.
Happy to see the teens here understand the hardship she’s going through instead of bashing her. Hopefully they have the same mentally about people who aren’t as famous or beautiful as her. Many homeless people feel the same but are shamed.
Some people keep saying it was her choice but you have to understand that when you’re an addict, it’s not your choice anymore. Your brain chemistry has literally been changed and it is a fight with their own selves to stay sober and addicts need all the support they can get to fight it. Demi had a relapse but now what matters is that she gets back to fighting her addiction.
I have listened to this song so many times but even now I started sobbing in the middle of this video. you don't have to read the lyrics to feel the emotion echoing in her voice. this is the most raw and deep song I've ever heard. Rooting for you Ms. Lovato
I hope to god all the people in the comments saying stuff like "she did it to herself" never have problems with addiction either in their own lives or their families. I also hope they grow up and understand that no one is perfect and everyone has problems, and it is extremely dismissive to just say she did it to herself.
Asha Ell how do you know that? How do you know people close to her didn’t help her. You can’t help someone who don’t want help. You can’t help someone who’s not ready to take that help and get better. This is really sad but it’s still on her. She made the choice no one else. She had family, friends and fans who supported her but she relapsed, and that happens. Don’t blame people around her. Ultimately the blame should be put on her.
Shes an adult, you cant isolate here. Plus she has had this problem before. No matter how much help you get, there is only one person who can change her, and that is Demi herself.
Really impressed by the empathy shown by these young people. Hopefully their message and Demi’s will help. Even if it’s giving one person the strength to seek help. That is positive change to stigma. Well done for using your platform to inform React.
Addiction is a lifetime struggle, and many times someone will relapse. The fact that she had six years before a relapse is amazing and she'll get there again.
Ms Banghard really 😞 that’s so sad...she must be so lost...Jesus please be her light she can become free..it doesn’t have to be this way...Jesus feels your pain..Demi seek him you’re not alone...he loves you and so does your family..you have meaning for this life...
hawazen j you obviously don’t get it. When you go through depressive episodes you cut everyone who wants to help you off. You can’t blame Demi for any of this.
Demi lovato is my has been my idol since I was a little kid. When this song came out, every time this song is played I cry because I didn’t want this to happen to her. Be safe Demi your fans will be here forever.
This gives me goosebumps every time and I always end up in tears. I grew up watching her, listening to her music all the time. I hope and pray that she will get better and take care of herself no matter how long it takes. I send her and everyone suffering from addiction all my love and prayers.
Thank you Rae for being so vulnerable in this episode and sharing your personal experiences. I know it's hard to put out that kind of information out there on the internet, but it really warns others of the damage addiction can cause on your family as well as yourself.
Demi Lovato is such an inspiration to me... When I'm suicidal or at my weakest point shes always there for me. Now the tables have turned and it's our turn to be there for her.
The kids in this video are so smart and deep and compassionate. I'd love for Demi to be able to see this. It's gotta be healing to see this kind of support from those she said she wanted to be a role model for.
Not to just Demi, but everyone here that is struggling with mental health and/or addiction, you are not alone no matter how much it feels like it. The first step is admitting to yourself you need help. Talk to someone, anyone. And I encourage you to go to a centre that will give you the support you need. Don't do it for anyone else, do it for yourself, because you deserve to be happy and healthy. I wish you all the best. ❤️
I struggle with addiction since I’m 12, eating disorder, alcohol etc and demi helped me so much! I’m 21 yo today and I still struggle with both of it, addictions is hell! Stay strong Demi, we love you!
In my opinion, you don’t have to agree with this, but it makes sense that some singers feel alone. Or even anyone in the spotlight. They have so many people looking up to them, that they feel they have to be a role model. But we have to understand is that’s not always easy. There have been times where someone that’s been looked up to for so long begins to crack and mess up. Instead of judging them we have to stand with them. I’ve been scrolling through the comments and people are judging Demi constantly. Listen to these kids. We need to do better. I love Demi and I have looked up to her for so long. I know her struggles, hope you guys do too. Thank you for listening.
Shes calling for help as shes struggling and through her words you can hear how she feels helpless and shes sorry she cant stop it. I lost my borther to a overdose back in 16 and its hurt me deeply. Addiction hold onto you and its hard to shake. My mom was addicted as well but made a recovery and is sober for 3 years today. Her insperation to het clean was her kids. People dont see this can happen to anyone. It can happen to YOU. And its a fight to release those heavy chains. Relapse is a easy thing to happen. If you are addicted please get help . Someone loves you. Someone misses you. Rest in piece to all who’ve lost their lives.
I cried during this video, actually.. These teens who are literally around my age or are my age are so, so knowledgeable and they're very loving, accepting and just overall amazing human beings.
These kids are so well brought up. I’m so happy to see not all young teens have fallen down this path just because everyone else is doing it or just because 💖
Kudos to FBE for never shying away from the conversations no one else wants to start. Addiction is a nasty beast, and these kids are right when they say it is a life long battle. Silence helps no one. Thank you for breaking it.
This was beautiful, thank you for shedding a light on this super important subject. If you are in any addiction or are struggling with metal health there is always help and a way out, don’t ever feel like you have to suffer alone because you are never alone!💛
I think people forget that not everyone does a drug simply because of peer pressure but because they want to run away from their problems and feel numb. It’s not always just because they want to experiment and or peer pressure.. I feel for ever addict because so come from a family of addicts but I feel more for Demi because she actually fought for a change in herself and wanted to make resources available for teens with the same battles. She was clean for 6 years god forbid she relapsed it’s normal for addicts to relapse, unfortunately. But now everyone is calling her a crackhead... if you can support one addict you don’t support any.
She’s a millionaire with a support system that was willing to help her. She refused to take it. She only got sober in the first place because her team threatened to leave her. I don’t feel sorry for someone not even willing to help themselves.
The one thing I heard the most in this video is that 'demi has so many fans how can she not be lonely', but she does not know her fans on a personal level. If she is feeling a certain way she cant go tell her fans how much she's hurting or how much she needs help. It could be too personal of a story to tell. We all know how long it took her to open up through her documentary. Fans are fans. They aren't close friends or close family members. They can't stop by Demi's house to check up on her every now and then. Thus why she feels lonely.
Mikaela is way stronger than she looks. For the longest time she's on the brink of breaking down but then she's powers through like a champ! Watching Rae break broke me though.
I just want to point out that Demi has a bipolar disorder, a lot of issues with the world in 2018 is mental health is still so stigmatised and there isn’t a lot of support for people. 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental health problem, myself included and because they’re not getting the support they need to live a day to day life they chose to pick up a bottle or chose to take a drug that made them forget. Speed/Amphetamines is similar to the effects of caffeine. It makes you feel strong and able to do anything, so they keep taking them to feel better than their reality. They’re addicted to not feeling like themselves.
Could you please have the Elders react to this song as well? Especially since they already reacted to Demi’s lyrics previously, and they have a lot of life perspective
Thank you guys so much for having them react to this! I am a recovering addict (9+ years now). I have always said, the more knowledge and awareness of addiction can only help with recovery options. It was so heartwarming to watch these teens react the way they did!
These kids have so much to learn. Not every addict was "experimenting". I am 5.5 years recovered after first becoming addicted to the painkillers I was prescribed for chronic pain after a car accident. When they stopped doing anything I was already an addict and honestly didn't see a reason not to try other things to find a way to stop the pain. I hope that they never learn first hand but seriously there are so many ways other than "experimentation" to end up an addict.
My mom is almost 6 year sober... No one truly understands what she's going through unless your going through it or if you personally know someone who is going though addiction.
man these 'kids' got me crying, especially Rae and Ulises at the end. I hope that they all stay true to theirselves when the head off to college and do good things for the next generation. Thank you FBE for doing this!
This made me cry, I love her so much and it breaks my heart that she's going through this and she keeps relapsing and having to deal with it all again. I hope she can recover for good this time.
Its totally understandable that Demi fears losing fans and respect for relapsing and she fears not being a good role model but I think one of the reasons that she is such a fantastic role model is because she always picks herself back up and gets even better. I have faith that she can and will do it again. I've been praying for her every night since the news of her OD and will continue to 💛
I love you Demi. You shedding light on a serious issue, you showing that the best people can make mistakes. Many people are saying that it's not fair for people to be feeling sympathy towards her. To those people it is fair. We are only publicizing this because she is a person in the public eye. If it's someone you know, you sympathesis with the family. This is the only way we can show we care about people with this issue and to show them support. Be kind in this world and try to remember we are all human and deserve respect. ❤️
This is very touching video thank you FBE for shedding light on this and having great reactors who express so much emotion and say their opinions and share their stories thank you for this amazing episode
Thank you for this video. It's the story of every addict. It's a life long struggle, and I think Demi is so brave to be so open about the real hard process.
She should quit her career and save herself. I don’t want her to end up like Amy Winehouse. Career in not worth your life. Just leave LA, find your safe space and get better.
Not a fan of Demi Lovato's. I can only name 3 of her songs. But this was raw, real and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for being able to turn your pain into something that will open up many more needed conversations like this one. Get well. 🖤
This was a very beautiful video. My heart hurts for Demi and what she’s going through and has had to go through for all these years. I hope she and anyone in similar situations can see there’s a way out and there’s always a brighter day. Thank you for this video.
i am truly deeply worried for her, i grew up watching her through disney channel and i still love her today and i deeply care for her! and i hope she'll be okay - Stephanie
Their reactions are so genuine and I was very pleasantly surprised with what they said. I’m so glad that people their age have the mindset they do about mental health and addiction. Loved this 💕
I think that the hardest part about this omg was hearing the lyric “and I’m sorry for the fans I lost, who watched me fall again, I wanna be a role model but I’m only human” and it’s because I’m a big fan of Demi Lovato. She saved my life, she truly did, so to hear that fans like me would leave because she was true issues isn’t okay. And it’s wrong.
Esmeralda probably difficult for her to react since she's not aN easy to get in touch with RUclipsr or reactor, but tweet this at her and with luck she will at least see it and get the message that way 💜➕✌
If I could tell demi something is to always stay true to who you are, it may seem hard some days but just think of the people who love you. I would of never thought I would see you in this space, I'm proud of how far you have come and I know, you will come back stronger than ever. #lovatics for life!!!!!!

People often forget the difference between being alone and feeling lonely. You can be alone and totally content, but feeling lonely when there’s plenty of people physically around is an awful feeling.
Kaitlyn Paterson :)
like your drowning
Yes it's related with mentally feels
Kaitlyn Paterson and when you feel lonely and dont have any friend or family is way worse
And thats on period
The song is a page from her diary. Could have also been a suicide note turned into a song. Chilling.

"I got no excuse for all these goodbyes". That was my first thought when I heard that line
oh wow.thats crazy

There are a lot of signs , people just miss it off... drug addiction is a huge issue and i hate how some people shame on them, using their insecurities and weaknesses as something to bash at
To anyone who watches this: relapse is, unfortunately, a part of recovery. Don’t feel ashamed or anything, it’s something almost every recovering addict goes through

These kids have more empathy, compassion and love in their hearts than any of you in these comments, my god.
Nah, we have empathy. This video and comments just scream pandering.
Nah, we're all human so empathy is a must. Sympathy is not needed but empathy is.
@@botanbutton Yes.
Am I the only one who tears up every time when Demi says “I’m sorry to myself” ?
I also say the same thing about myself too...
Its sounds like demi was crying for help before she over dosed
I agree
Pretty sure that’s exactly what she was doing but no one noticed till she overdosed
definitely does. im glad she got a second chance though.
Of what??
She wrote « Anyone » just before her overdose
"I wanna be a role model"
*You are.*
Šilla druggies aren't role models
Yolanda Stargaze they could be if they quit

Can you please do a parents react to sober also.
parents of her fans who strongly tells their kids not to support “these” kinds of artist.
i’d volunteer my mom as tribute

I'm so proud of you
I legit just wanna hug her and tell her itll be ok :'(
Bijou Honeybee "it'll be ok, just keep pumping smack in ur veins girl"
Bogus you do realize it’s hard for her. addiction is HARD. sometimes it’s not their fault. you never know someone’s situation. she was in a bad place. she’s trying.
2 years later she’s engaged and happier than ever!!
Same girl same
Says the loveless angel
When Alberto says that the only person she needs to say sorry to is herself- i was like “ WAAITT TIL THE LAST LINE OF THE SONG “
how did they not cry listening to the song? i- i’m crying
Me too.
Probably because they haven't experienced that yet. Hopefully they never have to.
Please keep talking about important issues like this. So many people need to hear it...
PEOPLE need to realize that they're WORTHLESS creatures, and that nothing they do or say matters in the grand scheme of things.
S4ddler worthless? Okay. You're opinion.
😑
lovely 99.99% of people are worthless. In 100 years from now who will know or remember us. We will just be dust
Can there be an Adults React to Sober. I think it’d be cool to hear their thoughts about it.
Yo seriously -- have adults react to this song.
yes!!
“i’m sorry to myself” seriously gives me chills and goosebumps every listen.
I think people forget you can be lonely, despite having people around you. its about a connection to you. you can always feel lonely. poor girl :(
Kyndra Cooks yes. Yes. Yes. People often confused the dictionary definion of lonely with the emotional/psychological meaning of the word.
this is similar to Chester from Linkin Park situation, he was singing songs about his depression and problems but no one ever reached out, she got another chance, don't waste it.. be strong.
Fans aren’t your friends. Just because someone has thousands to millions of fans doesn’t mean they actually talk, hang out, or even relate.
As someone who loves Demi and has followed her for years, I knew the song was a cry for help but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. She's fallen again but I don't think less of her, I just pray that she gets help and wants the help.
I might not be a fan of Her but I really respect her for the brave person she is
Coming from a recovering addict, it is a very long road that NEVER ends!! There will be many bumps in that road. Some of us relapse, others don't. I pray for her and I know she can make it! Thank you for bringing this even more into the light! 🙏
There's no need for prayer if you KNOW she can make it.
I'm a person in recovery as well. I'm glad you posted this comment.

The part where she’s apologizing to her mom and dad hit me in the heart. This song is so powerful and I hope she gets better soon.
When Demi is recovered I would really love to see her react to this video in particular. Because she is soo real it would be a genuine reaction that I think would be awesome to watch
You can be surrounded by many people and acquaintances and still feel lonely
That’s the sad truth. It’s possibly because no one understands how she could feel n she feels like it’d be too hard to explain to someone else, so she would bottle it up inside..
Im just praying that she recovers. I don't want to lose an other amazing artist.
And it's kind of depressing not being able to just go to them, be there for them and give them all your love. I also just want to give the girl in the blue shirt a BIG BIG hug.
60s loliita praying won’t help but ok
This was especially shocking because she was sober for six years. But the effort never stops and addiction is never cured. It just takes one slip. I hope she gets the help she needs.
Also just a psa if someone in your family has an addiction, you should be careful around things that can become addictive, because it's hereditary.
I had 6 years and relapsed as well. I've known people who relapsed after decades clean. It happens.
It’s crazy how people cry for help and others only notice when something drastic happens.
Happy to see the teens here understand the hardship she’s going through instead of bashing her. Hopefully they have the same mentally about people who aren’t as famous or beautiful as her. Many homeless people feel the same but are shamed.
Crank head
Whole gang full of drug addicts
Exactly. I was gonna say the same thing. You put it better than me.
The teens that react to the videos on this channel are all so socially aware and empathetic and educated , it kind of revives my faith in humanity!
“Momma I’m so sorry I’m not sober anymore” that right there..... CRUSHED me. This song is everything. I felt her emotion in this. Wow 😣
Some people keep saying it was her choice but you have to understand that when you’re an addict, it’s not your choice anymore. Your brain chemistry has literally been changed and it is a fight with their own selves to stay sober and addicts need all the support they can get to fight it.
Demi had a relapse but now what matters is that she gets back to fighting her addiction.
Sunny Chang it was your choice not to be an addict
Now it's not her choice anymore, but it was her choice to use in the first place. But even so she deserves help and support.
I have listened to this song so many times but even now I started sobbing in the middle of this video. you don't have to read the lyrics to feel the emotion echoing in her voice. this is the most raw and deep song I've ever heard. Rooting for you Ms. Lovato
I hope to god all the people in the comments saying stuff like "she did it to herself" never have problems with addiction either in their own lives or their families. I also hope they grow up and understand that no one is perfect and everyone has problems, and it is extremely dismissive to just say she did it to herself.
god the song being released was a cry for help, I don't understand how people close to her didn't come to the rescue

Addiction is a lifetime struggle, and many times someone will relapse. The fact that she had six years before a relapse is amazing and she'll get there again.
the fact that this was her cry for help...
And no one answered
she fired / cut off her whole team who helped her. she only has herself to blame
Ms Banghard really 😞 that’s so sad...she must be so lost...Jesus please be her light she can become free..it doesn’t have to be this way...Jesus feels your pain..Demi seek him you’re not alone...he loves you and so does your family..you have meaning for this life...
hawazen j you obviously don’t get it. When you go through depressive episodes you cut everyone who wants to help you off. You can’t blame Demi for any of this.
*mean
Honestly parts of this song can be relatable for people with depression and other stuff like that and I appreciate that.
Yes. I suffer from anxiety and depression and I'm crying rn cause it's so hard to control. This is so relatable.
Yes. I almost cried because some of the words really hit me on a personal level as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety.

I struggle with addiction since I’m 12, eating disorder, alcohol etc and demi helped me so much! I’m 21 yo today and I still struggle with both of it, addictions is hell! Stay strong Demi, we love you!
Aaron Crl 25 and still struggling with ED and alcoholism. I’m here for you!! ❤️❤️

Aaron Crl add me on Facebook: Shan J Downey. Seriously if you need a friend please reach out my dear.
My mom's an alcoholic and it's hard for me but I guess I forgot it's hard for her too.
In my opinion, you don’t have to agree with this, but it makes sense that some singers feel alone. Or even anyone in the spotlight. They have so many people looking up to them, that they feel they have to be a role model. But we have to understand is that’s not always easy. There have been times where someone that’s been looked up to for so long begins to crack and mess up. Instead of judging them we have to stand with them. I’ve been scrolling through the comments and people are judging Demi constantly. Listen to these kids. We need to do better. I love Demi and I have looked up to her for so long. I know her struggles, hope you guys do too. Thank you for listening.
9:24 *That's very strong of you to tell all of us about that. Even if I don't personally know you, I am so proud and I believe you.*
Shes calling for help as shes struggling and through her words you can hear how she feels helpless and shes sorry she cant stop it. I lost my borther to a overdose back in 16 and its hurt me deeply. Addiction hold onto you and its hard to shake. My mom was addicted as well but made a recovery and is sober for 3 years today. Her insperation to het clean was her kids. People dont see this can happen to anyone. It can happen to YOU. And its a fight to release those heavy chains. Relapse is a easy thing to happen. If you are addicted please get help . Someone loves you. Someone misses you. Rest in piece to all who’ve lost their lives.
I cried during this video, actually.. These teens who are literally around my age or are my age are so, so knowledgeable and they're very loving, accepting and just overall amazing human beings.
Awwwwww I wanna give Rae a huge hug.... how honest and open she got, all of them, but just how emotional she got awww rae!
These kids are so well brought up. I’m so happy to see not all young teens have fallen down this path just because everyone else is doing it or just because 💖
Kudos to FBE for never shying away from the conversations no one else wants to start. Addiction is a nasty beast, and these kids are right when they say it is a life long battle. Silence helps no one. Thank you for breaking it.
This was beautiful, thank you for shedding a light on this super important subject. If you are in any addiction or are struggling with metal health there is always help and a way out, don’t ever feel like you have to suffer alone because you are never alone!💛
I think people forget that not everyone does a drug simply because of peer pressure but because they want to run away from their problems and feel numb. It’s not always just because they want to experiment and or peer pressure.. I feel for ever addict because so come from a family of addicts but I feel more for Demi because she actually fought for a change in herself and wanted to make resources available for teens with the same battles. She was clean for 6 years god forbid she relapsed it’s normal for addicts to relapse, unfortunately. But now everyone is calling her a crackhead... if you can support one addict you don’t support any.
mala.vidaa preach
mala.vidaa is so sad that people make jokes about it
She’s a millionaire with a support system that was willing to help her. She refused to take it. She only got sober in the first place because her team threatened to leave her. I don’t feel sorry for someone not even willing to help themselves.
Lovatic Fan some people are just heartless and think making these jokes are edgy. Smh.
The one thing I heard the most in this video is that 'demi has so many fans how can she not be lonely', but she does not know her fans on a personal level. If she is feeling a certain way she cant go tell her fans how much she's hurting or how much she needs help. It could be too personal of a story to tell. We all know how long it took her to open up through her documentary. Fans are fans. They aren't close friends or close family members. They can't stop by Demi's house to check up on her every now and then. Thus why she feels lonely.
DoReMe Naomi facts💯
Mikaela is way stronger than she looks. For the longest time she's on the brink of breaking down but then she's powers through like a champ!
Watching Rae break broke me though.
I just want to point out that Demi has a bipolar disorder, a lot of issues with the world in 2018 is mental health is still so stigmatised and there isn’t a lot of support for people. 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental health problem, myself included and because they’re not getting the support they need to live a day to day life they chose to pick up a bottle or chose to take a drug that made them forget. Speed/Amphetamines is similar to the effects of caffeine. It makes you feel strong and able to do anything, so they keep taking them to feel better than their reality. They’re addicted to not feeling like themselves.
Do you have an eating disorder?
Could you please have the Elders react to this song as well? Especially since they already reacted to Demi’s lyrics previously, and they have a lot of life perspective
Oh please do this!!
I got goosbumps and tears came down when she sang "I'm sorry for the fans I’ve lost” 😢 if anything she's gained fans, she's gained love now.
Thank you guys so much for having them react to this! I am a recovering addict (9+ years now). I have always said, the more knowledge and awareness of addiction can only help with recovery options. It was so heartwarming to watch these teens react the way they did!
Be proud that you got this far. Never look back, keep going forward.
i’m proud of you, Nicole!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story
Preach for you mlady
These kids have so much to learn. Not every addict was "experimenting". I am 5.5 years recovered after first becoming addicted to the painkillers I was prescribed for chronic pain after a car accident. When they stopped doing anything I was already an addict and honestly didn't see a reason not to try other things to find a way to stop the pain. I hope that they never learn first hand but seriously there are so many ways other than "experimentation" to end up an addict.
My mom is almost 6 year sober... No one truly understands what she's going through unless your going through it or if you personally know someone who is going though addiction.
You can be lonely even when you are in a room full of people
To be fair though that could be a couple of issues. I feel that way a lot part of that though could be social anxiety.
I would love to see an elders react to this song and know their perspective on this topic
Having fans doesn’t negate loneliness. You could be at a party filled with people and still feel like the only one in the room
bifida24 I can relate. I feel lonely even I am surrounded by people
bifida24 same
Same
So refreshing to see the guys in this video taking her seriously and not making jokes ❤️
Caitlin Thompson I was thinking the exact same thing...
I want adults to react to this please! Really want to hear their perspective on this story.
man these 'kids' got me crying, especially Rae and Ulises at the end. I hope that they all stay true to theirselves when the head off to college and do good things for the next generation. Thank you FBE for doing this!
Dude there’s a big difference between actually being alone and feeling lonely, just cus you have people does not mean that you don’t feel lonely
We don't need you to be a role model we just need you to be healthy. True fans will love you always.
these teens are really so wise and i love the way every single one of them talked about it. i really did shed some tears.
This made me cry, I love her so much and it breaks my heart that she's going through this and she keeps relapsing and having to deal with it all again. I hope she can recover for good this time.
Lexi This is so sad can we bring the USSR back
Its totally understandable that Demi fears losing fans and respect for relapsing and she fears not being a good role model but I think one of the reasons that she is such a fantastic role model is because she always picks herself back up and gets even better. I have faith that she can and will do it again. I've been praying for her every night since the news of her OD and will continue to 💛
I love you Demi. You shedding light on a serious issue, you showing that the best people can make mistakes.
Many people are saying that it's not fair for people to be feeling sympathy towards her. To those people it is fair. We are only publicizing this because she is a person in the public eye. If it's someone you know, you sympathesis with the family. This is the only way we can show we care about people with this issue and to show them support.
Be kind in this world and try to remember we are all human and deserve respect. ❤️
This is very touching video thank you FBE for shedding light on this and having great reactors who express so much emotion and say their opinions and share their stories thank you for this amazing episode
Thank you for this video. It's the story of every addict. It's a life long struggle, and I think Demi is so brave to be so open about the real hard process.
well thank you fbe for addressing such an important topic, especially when the media has pretty much messed it up.
She should quit her career and save herself. I don’t want her to end up like Amy Winehouse. Career in not worth your life. Just leave LA, find your safe space and get better.
U corny
fxaman I don’t think she should quit but I do think that she’s should cancel her tour take time to herself and get better and get help
Most of Aerosmith was under drug addiction and were arrested many times because of it but they took ten year off to go into rehab
@Aida Nour well look at Lindsay now, she brought herself back up too.
She is okay now
My angel😭❤️ pray for her health and hope she recovers soon❤️
Not a fan of Demi Lovato's. I can only name 3 of her songs.
But this was raw, real and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you for being able to turn your pain into something that will open up many more needed conversations like this one.
Get well. 🖤
This was a very beautiful video. My heart hurts for Demi and what she’s going through and has had to go through for all these years. I hope she and anyone in similar situations can see there’s a way out and there’s always a brighter day. Thank you for this video.
The song was a cry for help
I just wanna give Rae a big hug 😭 so brave to share her story
i am truly deeply worried for her, i grew up watching her through disney channel and i still love her today and i deeply care for her! and i hope she'll be okay
- Stephanie
Their reactions are so genuine and I was very pleasantly surprised with what they said. I’m so glad that people their age have the mindset they do about mental health and addiction. Loved this 💕
I definitely think Rae is an empath. She really feels for everybody so much and really feels their emotions.
To be fair, addictions sometimes come from things that people don’t realize are addictive.
well said
The final message right before the video ended is so sweet.
Don’t abandon someone when they’re at their lowest. She needs help, and hopefully now she’ll be able to get just that.
I think that the hardest part about this omg was hearing the lyric “and I’m sorry for the fans I lost, who watched me fall again, I wanna be a role model but I’m only human” and it’s because I’m a big fan of Demi Lovato. She saved my life, she truly did, so to hear that fans like me would leave because she was true issues isn’t okay. And it’s wrong.
Demi should react to this later and especially listen to what the teens said towards the end :)
Esmeralda probably difficult for her to react since she's not aN easy to get in touch with RUclipsr or reactor, but tweet this at her and with luck she will at least see it and get the message that way 💜➕✌
If I could tell demi something is to always stay true to who you are, it may seem hard some days but just think of the people who love you. I would of never thought I would see you in this space, I'm proud of how far you have come and I know, you will come back stronger than ever. #lovatics for life!!!!!!
