Is Bindi Irwin under too much pressure?

Question

Bindi Irwin was brought up in a zoo surrounded by wildlife and amazing creatures so it's only natural she should want to become a wildlife warrior but some concerned members of society and a psychologist are concerned that at 8 years of age she cannot handle the workload. I myself think that Terri Irwin her mother is the best judge of what Bindi is capable of and I don't want to see her enthusiasm dampened. She is used to working in front of cameras so it isn't really that much pressure. She is taking a break now before resuming filming on her television show 'Jungle Girl' but is this enough? Should she be left alone by the media for a decade until she is old enough to decide by herself or would obstructing her dream in this fashion actually be bullying her?

Answer 1

Steve and Terri have a well rounded super intelligent little girl in Bendi, a very unusually bright child for her age. I think this kid is capable of handling life much better than most other people's children.

Bendi speaks well, like a miniature adult! Amazing! Steve and Terri obviously done something right.
Most kids are afraid of spiders and snakes. Bendi takes to these and other creatures like a duck takes to water. I think she will be fine as long as the media doesn't squash her.

My greatest concern is that those Human Sharks - the ones who cant stand for the world to have heroes.., will soon start coming out of the wood work like roaches and start slandering Steve in every imaginable way. I think something like that might crush Bendi's spirit.., but its coming. These creepy human beings smell money in book deals using false stories like sharks smell blood.

Answer 2

Bindi Irwin is a special little girl who loves what she does. She was raised and taught by her loving parents and grandparent to respect the animal kingdom. She may or may not be greater than her dad but one thing we know for sure she's a little girl that loves life and is enthusiastic for it. Her dad would be very proud what she is accomplishing now. Everyone needs a break from their job. Why would she be any different? Her mom, Terri, is doing a great job raising her children.

Answer 3

Are you High?

Answer 4

To me,I feel that Bindi should be left alone by the public.I know in a way she has always been in the public eye,but the poor girl needs breathing space.She knows that the public are concerned for her,and just want to make sure she is alright.Her dad seemed to be a wonderful man,who opened alot of peoples eyes to different wildlife,in a funny way,but the public can't expect a little girl to fill her fathers shoes,as she is Bindi,not Steve.She herself will follow her fathers footsteps,in her on time,when she is ready,she shouldn't feel like she needs to straight away.Let her just be a little girl,while she still can.

Answer 5

She's a strong and unique little girl, just like her dad. I first thought that too, that she has a lot to live up to but she was born into that life and her mother will do what is right for them all

Answer 6

It's what her father lved and she loves to do it.. Leave that girl alone.. Let her do what she loves..

Answer 7

This is for her mum to decide

Answer 8

I think she should be left alone by the media for now, and that Terri should bring her kids to the states to live. Until Bindi is a little older to fully make up her mind to follow in the footsteps of her parents than her mother should shelter her a bit.
