I respect your opinion but this just shows you're not a long time fan and you did not witness the INSANE amount of hate she got for how she looked.

It took her YEARS to finally open up about everything and her suicide attempt.

She discussed in her documentary that she doesn't know why she posts pictures for other people's approval.

Let her live her life.

She is in no way like Demi, she's only ever tried to spread awareness. Especially with her documentary which has made SUCH a massive impact in the UK and is played in schools and has won awards.

She's said time and time again she feels the pressure of being compared to the other girls - she should not stop her dream. Imagine the amount of times she had to compromise with other people, let her do what she wants on her own terms.

If you don't support her fair enough but I think it is disgusting for someone who hasn't been a fan long to act like they know her and claim she is like a 'Demi'. I've literally NEVER saw someone be attacked as much as Jesy has, if you thought Britney's instagram comments were bad they were nothing compared to what Jesy got.

Jesy speaking up does nothing but spread awareness and let people know they are not alone.

The thing is you might think she looks flawless but she NEVER does.

I think she did the right thing leaving to focus on herself and she shouldn't be bashed for how she feels and for trying to make people feel better about themselves.

Girls wear make up/nice clothes to make themselves feel better - that's why lots of people post lots of pictures. Let her be.

We'll agree to disagree. I'm too busy to write a proper response so i'll just leave it at that.

1) I don't need to be a long time fan to have a valid opinion on this because my point is that the most important struggle is WITHIN her, not from what people say or do. Please read my comments again if you're really interested. And whatever happened back then, it must not have been too different from what Britney had to endure, so it's not like this is a completely unique situation (also, read further down...)

2) My other point is that whatever Jesy says, that doesn't correlate to what she does and shows.

3) Of course she can do whatever the eff she wants, I'm just pointing out that she's not being honest with herself and her fans. And it's also tiring and even harmful to whoever is watching her because she complains but then looks like a freaking DOLL. What message is she leaving her fans, who most probably can't even afford half the clothes and make up she's wearing? She's b/tching from a position of privilege.

4) She absolutely looks flawless. In each picture. What are you even talking about?

5) I'm not "bashing" her for this, I'm not commenting all this directly to her or in public on her Instagram, I'm having a (supposedly) mature conversation about the topic of self-image and celebrities and depression and whatnot in a fan forum. Don't over react. Calm down, and actually listen to other points of view. That's why people like her cannot get out of the situation, because they don't listen. If Jesy's own MOTHER tells her she's beautiful and loved, and Jesy still doesn't listen to her, then girl you're on your own. But stop complaining about it.

6) And finally, and I'm going to get a bit personal here just so you know that I'm not speaking whatever from the top of my mind: a few months ago I opened my house to a friend with depression so she could stay a few months in a peaceful environment healthily distanced from her troubled family, and she was constantly asking me "Am I fat, do I look fat, do you think that girl on TV is fat??". It was EXHAUSTING. I was like b/tch stop making me say things you don't want to hear, and most importantly, STOP PAYING ATTENTION. She actually wanted to make ME responsible for the way she perceived her own weight. I made my best to be aware 24/7 whenever I shared time and space with her so when those questions came shooting at me I did NOT directly answer them, and she was never more persistent. I still did not answer, not even "yes" or "no", and even then she got mad and frustrated. People like this NEED to blame their struggles on others. That's my point here. PEACE OUT!
