My name is Isabella Lovato-Valderamma. Yeah, it's a mouthful so I usually just go by Izzy... The kids in school have other nicknames for me; Slut, Whore, Fatass, Btich, Emo, Attention-Seeker... it's all true of course. Why would they sugarcoat it? I bleed to feel and I don't eat to be perfect. I can stop anytime i want, and I will... once i'm perfect. You want to know the rest? Read on. I only have one rule... Don't tell mom.

My name is Madison De La Garza. Yes, Demi Lovato's sister. No. This story is not about her. This is MY Story. Told MY way. So many people expect me to be strong because Demi is... But guess what. I'm getting really tired of pretending i'm something that i'm not.
