8. Demi Lovato
From launching her career in acting at the age of ten in the hit children’s show Barney and Friends, to her work with the Disney channel, to her successful singing career, Demi Lovato has been candid about her struggles to gain confidence despite her success. People magazine notes that the actress/ singer was bullied so badly that she ultimately had to seek treatment for an eating disorder she developed, along with her struggles with self injury through cutting. Through treatment and learning to love and appreciate herself, Lovato has overcome her past. The 23 year old beauty now works with anti-bullying campaigns, like Dove’s “Mean Stinks” campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the issues of being bullied.
