Childhood

Education and early development of the star-to-be was almost completely an achievement of her mother. The girl does not really remember her father because he left the family when she was two years old – he divorced the mother, Diana Hart. Perhaps this was the reason why Demi was very vulnerable and could not stand up for herself in the face of her classmates, could not respond confidently to constant bullying and gossips.

Demi had a good relationship with her sisters though – the elder, Dallas, and the younger (step-sister) Maddison. However, even they could not help the girl learn how to deal with the attacks of peers and to get along with others in general. At some points, her psychological state was very difficult. As the singer herself admitted, the idea of suicide has been haunting her since she was seven. Therefore, Demi's mother decided to transfer her daughter to homeschooling.

The future singer started to get acquainted with the world of music at the age of seven. It was during this period that she began to learn how to play the piano. Several years later, having mastered the basics of the piano, she took on the guitar. And when the six-stringed instrument was conquered as well, the girl with an evident musical talent did not stop at things she achieved. The next step was acting school. She got the diploma of the senior school externally.
