Thats a pretty depressing statement.

Yeah, the death threats and bullying are things that no one should have to deal with, especially a kid. The mocking is something that every person in the public eye needs to become accustomed to, regardless of how their fame is achieved.
In the age of the internet, every media/political/sports personality sets them selves up to be critiqued, mocked, or insulted in some way and cannot take it personally.
Its part of the 'job' description. It's what she signed up for by making the first video and posting it, which is reinforced by the fact that she has made a second video and appeared in promotional materials furthering her career. It is clearly what she wants at this point, and I don't blame her.
