If any of you have been following the Team Selena\/Team Demi nonsense, it&#8217;s hard not to think that Selena would be the pretty clear winner of that fight. She&#8217;s dating Justin Bieber and is on the cover of Cosmpolitan. And I make no secret of it: I love Selena Gomez and listen to her music all the time.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s not forget Demi! She&#8217;s been very open and honest about her eating disorder and her anger management problems and her self-harm. Life as a teen idol can be tough, but I think it&#8217;s cool that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seventeen.com\/health\/tips\/demi-lovato-eating-disorder\">she&#8217;s talking about it<\/a>. Selena Gomez is, let&#8217;s face it, pretty much a perfect human being. Demi&#8217;s not, and, well, neither are most of us.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r_8ydghbGSg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Her comeback song, &#8220;Skyscraper,&#8221; is not my personal favorite. But it seems to speak to a lot of teens, especially ones who have been\/are being bullied. (The top comment on that video right now is: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been through a lot these past months. Demi helped me. She almost saved my life. She is the reason why I didn&#8217;t kill myself. She is the reason why I&#8217;m still breathing.Thank you Demi. Thank you for everything you did. You&#8217;re an angel.&#8221;) So good for you, Demi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Confession: one of the girls in my Girl Scout troop doesn&#8217;t know my name.
