Demi Lovato went through some seriously tough struggles, but she’s managed to come out of them in an amazing way.

She assured fans that she’s keeping up her hard work:

‘I’m now taking better care of myself. I don’t let my schedule determine who I am. I don’t work 24/7. You need to be careful of who you hang out with, people you listen to. They can lead you down the wrong path, they can give you the wrong kind of direction.

So what are Dem’s tips for teens going through rough times of their own?

'Try to stay away from the temptation. I made a lot of mistakes and I’ve grown into a better person because of it. We need to make mistakes in order to avoid them in the future. I made a lot of mistakes and I've grown into a better person because of it.'

Congrats to Demi for her amazing progress!
