Current Connection 2
MTV News chats with Demi as the "Mean Stinks" ambassador helps spread the message and shares her tough experience. Demi Lovato Tackling Girl-To-Girl Bullying, One 'Mean' Girl At A Time. Demi surprised freshmen at the Young Women's Leadership School in East Harlem, when she came to their "Drama Free School Year" anti-bullying assembly. The 20 year old joined up with Secret to inspire students to "gang up for good" against girl to girl bullying.
Lovato shares her experiences she had with bullying. She ended up leaving middle school because she dealt with really bad verbal harassment. While Lavoto was sharing her story with an all girl student body, she gave them helpful hints on how they could inspire change among their classmates and friends. Demi said "turn something negative into a positive." An example of hers was how she turned bullying into her successful music career.
Lavota, who took home her first Moonman at this years VMAs after her song "Skyscraper" won Best Video With a Message, said two wrongs don't make a right. Instead of trying to get back at the bully, she was encouraging young people to channel their energy into a more positive outlet like their school work or pursuing their dreams.
If you would like to watch a short video about Demi Lavoto talking about putting a stop to bullying, there is a link. I think what she is doing right now will in the end pay off.

Book Review: Looks
Madeleine George's Looks pulled me in with her way of making two complete opposites come together.
In this story, it shows how a pretty skinny girl and a fat girl become friends and work together to plot against their enemy Cara, a girl who hurt them both. Meghan Ball, the fat girl, loses her used to be friend Cara. When Aimme Zorn, the skinny girl, goes to Meghan's school, she meets Cara and they become what you would think to be friends.
At first you want to like Cara for practically taking Aimme under her wing as she started her life at a whole new school. Cara invited Aimme over to her house to read and discuss poetry they have written. When Aimme read one of her poems she had wrote, Cara practically said she had felt the same way when she was sick, but never knew how to put it into words. Cara asked to keep the poem so she could look at it because she really liked it. Cara then ripped Aimme off by stealing her words and entering into a poetry contest.
All during this time, Meghan wanted to tell Aimme how Cara was a bad person because of what had happened in her past. Finally Meghan gets the chance to tell Aimme and they become the friends you would never have expected.
I would recommend this book, only to people who like to read books about people that have eating disorders of some kind of eating problem. This book is not for everyone.
