Is Demi Cutting Again?
Disney darling Demi Lovato is showing disturbing new signs of cutting — a secretive self-mutilation ritual girls sometimes use to deal with traumatic emotional issues.
A little more than eight months after shocking pictures first revealed Demi's scarred wrists, new photos of the 16-year-old leaving MTV's NYC studios are even more alarming.
There now appear to be at least five nasty-looking slashes, where previously there were only a few.
"Demi has been really stressed out about her new show, Sonny with a Chance," a source tells Star. "She's not getting enough downtime because there is so much work involved, and she's always being pulled in different directions."
Unfortunately, that constant pressure may lead to destructive behavior. "Cutting is how she can let go of the stress that has built up inside — when she cuts herself, it's a way to cope," explains Dr. Jennifer Austin Leigh, a San Francisco–based psychologist who specializes in treating teenagers.
But there is hope, adds Dr. Leigh, who has not treated the actress. Besides counseling, Demi "needs to surround herself with family and friends who will have a positive impact on her."

Alot of people deal with things differently, just bcause she does it doesnt maker her less of a person or a freak or stupid. Is it the best way to deal with it, NO. But let her deal with how she wants to deal with things. I think people forget that these Disney stars are NOT robots or perfect, they are human and have feelings.

omg plz tell her to stop
