Tulisa: Why She Isn't As Awful As The Press Say She Is!

Tulisa and Her Emotions

Tulisa Contostavlos is an English singer-songwriter who has been the target of negative press for most of her celebrity life. Finding fame with group N-Dubz, and featuring as a judge on British talent show, 'The X Factor', she has never shied away from the spotlight. After various scandals that exposed her over the last decade, Tulisa still comes out on top by admitting how it has had an impact on her life, stating she 'slept on the bathroom floor for seven days' in an interview.

What some people don't know, is that Tulisa did struggle with bullying at school, suffering with both depression and anger management issues throughout her early life. Once her name did become popular, tabloids were quick to rip into her, making comments on her looks and her private life, something nobody should have to go through. The articles posted could have certainly cost Tulisa her career, and in many cases people would say it has done, though I am trying to change the negative views many have of her with this very post.

I am a great believer that you should never believe what is written or said about people. Things get twisted, people lie, and all that leaves is the target left vulnerable.

In my opinion, as one of the most victimised celebrities to grace the front of the newspapers, Tulisa is still one of the greatest female role-models for how she handles the situations she is faced with and doesn't let the mounds of negativity surrounding her name affect her in the slightest. Tulisa has been open with her teenage-hood struggles with depression, and states that like for many of us, music had saved her.

In various interviews she has mentioned her primary focus is ignoring the negativity, and maintaining a positive outlook whilst doing what she loves, making music, a lesson I think we could all take with us.
