My biggest criticism of the whole situation is it seems that she's being used by the adults around her. I have a hard time believing that all of this was genuinely her idea. That's not her fault though. And it's no reason to make fun of her or berate her on national television. These "adults" who are making fun of her are being ridiculous.
