How is Bristol Palin coping with criticism?

Bristol Palin and her partner Mark Ballas are preparing now (click here to watch rehearsal) for their second week in "Dancing with the Stars"!

Although it's an exciting race for Bristol, this self describing "public advocate for teen pregnancy prevention" is currently being a recipient of more criticism. Nevertheless, she is taking it in a positive way, which I think is mostly the appropriate action to stick to. Of course, it will be very natural for her now to get criticism from her judges (which  by the way, will seem to her really tough at times during this season). However, she has also become part now of the circle of mothers who have participated in "Dancing with the Stars"  that have had controversial, public motherhood related lives (such as Kate Gosselin). We can already observe that type of pattern through online columns and other publications. Everyone has their right to express their opinion and I like to read on all kinds of points of view. However, in this particular case, I think Bristol made quite a good move to be part of this ongoing event and I really don't think that this is particularly going to affect her motherhood. There are a lot of public figures with an unbelievable schedule and they have to manage their personal lives as well. Aside from her popularity and publicity, I think she is a nice lady. What do you think though?
