Bindi just seems either naive or a bit socially inept. I agree with Herbert. The media is going to try and make a good dollar out of seeing Bindi either fail or shine. So, Bindi is going to need to make friends with the more streetwise crowd, fairly soon.
My sentiments exactly.
I've been observing her like a clinical psychologist for quite some time now - wondering where the fame that has been thrust upon her will all end up. She's almost a (human) laboratory guinea pig in today's aggressive and insincere social environment.
When I was a boy of about 13 living in a beach-side resort village in the far west of England, I knew a doctor's daughter of around 15 who would occasionally appear amongst us kids just for company. She was a very quiet girl, reserved and pristine virginal in body and spirit. And she just happened to be sensationally beautiful.
And then she disappeared for several years, until one day I got off a bus in the local town, and there she was, pushing a pram - and looked utterly hideous, with her face plastered with make-up and looking like a street prostitute. I was too embarrassed
for her to make myself known.
Later, I discovered she had gone to Paris where she was like
exposed cat meat for being so naive and innocent - and of course, in no time at all she was being routinely 'humped' until she had a bun in the oven from god-knows how many 'suitors'.
That was the starkest example I've personally witnessed of a beautiful and lovely young girl becoming the sad victim of having been brought up in an unrealistic Pollyanna world in which she believed everyone had her best interests at heart, and everyone was as nice and decent as her parents were.
