I agree wholeheartedly. It's important to appreciate how Malia deals with the maelstrom surrounding her and how her parents have equipped her to cope reasonably and age-appropriately with these events. As folks attempt to co-opt her behavior, propelling her in directions that aren't in service to her personal growth path, without a full appreciation for her own motives, it's somewhat disrespectful of her and the obviously excellent guidance her parents provide. Malia is doing quite well without 'suggestions' from folks who don't know her.
