"Troubled actress Demi Lovato has slammed &amp;#039;cyber-bullies&amp;#039; for poking fun at those who suffer from eating disorders. The former Sonny with a Chance star, who herself suffers from bulimia, took to Twitter to air her grievances about the social stigma that has become attached to the disease. &amp;quot;I wish there wasn&amp;#039;t so much pressure on society to be thin,&amp;quot; Lovato tweeted yesterday. &amp;quot;It makes recovery so much harder. &amp;quot;My heart goes out to any and all women who deal with this daily battle,&amp;quot; the actress continued. &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t stand it when people make fun of the diseases so many people struggle from.&amp;quot; Lovato soon received a number of positive messages from fans and within a short space of time &amp;quot;StayStrongDemiLovato&amp;quot; had become a worldwide trending topic on Twitter. &amp;quot;Along with making fun of illnesses or diseases, doing it over the internet only makes you more of a coward,&amp;quot; Lovato later added. &amp;quot;Not to mention you&amp;#039;ve performed the act of cyber-bullying, something that is equally wrong and unacceptable.&amp;quot; The actress spent three months in a rehabilitation centre towards the end of 2010, receiving treatment for a number of emotional issues, and has since confirmed that she suffers from bulimia and bipolar disorder. Last month Lovato revealed that she would not be returning to Sonny With A Chance, and would instead focus solely on her music career. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
