Angelina Jolie is a fantastic actress and director who grew up in the public eye. Not only did she have a fascinating childhood, but many who were fascinated by her darker side were equally astounded when she chose to become a humanitarian. Many critics made pointed comments after Jolie started having children. Jolie surprised the world with her dedication to being a mother. Even more so, her children have also been fun to watch.

Many of Jolie's children have lived through things that have sparked discussions and debates about adoption, multicultural families, and what it means to be the child of a celebrity.

From the way they've been raised to the way they've shown us their goofy side, the world is watching all of the Jolie-Pitt clan. Each of the children in the Jolie-Pitt family has amazing qualities, but Shiloh has definitely stood out among all of them. Although we think Angelina Jolie is great, there are some ways in which it's clear Shiloh will outshine her mother. But hey, let's give credit to the fact that many of the reasons why Shiloh seems like a great kid is that she was raised by supportive parents. Oh, and it helps to grow up with an array of privileges.

20 She is Considered Well-Spoken

Despite still being a tween, MSN reports that those close to Shiloh and her family consider her to be strong and well-spoken. In an age where many adults complain about children and teenager's behavior nowadays, this is a rare compliment. This also shows that criticisms of how Shiloh was raised are unwarranted.

Given her many life experiences, world travels, and access to education, we're not surprised that Shiloh exhibits this level of confidence and eloquence. This quality is sure to help her get through her teen years with grace.

If she can cultivate and maintain this strength, she'll have a bright future ahead of her.

19 Her Style is Already Talked About

Most children put a lot of thought into what they wear when it's time to go back to school. We're betting Shiloh also spends time thinking about the fashion statements she's making. But imagine being a 12-year-old whose style is talked about on sites such as InStyle?

Shiloh has grown up in the limelight with supportive parents who let her and her siblings express themselves. Still, we're sure that some of her most iconic fashion moments are all her own.

This means Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is already a young style icon whose taste is sure to have an influence on the public in the coming years.

18 Even Shiloh's Birth Served a Charitable Cause

When any high-profile celebrity couple has a child, the media usually clash over who gets to take the child's picture first. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt decided to beat the paparazzi at their own game and use the photo-op for good.

According to The Guardian, Jolie and Pitt sold pictures of Shiloh to People in a bidding war and used the proceeds for charity. The photos raised $4.1 million and Getty Images was the company designated to market them worldwide. Plus, they used the opportunity to discuss mothers and children who die after childbirth in other parts of the world.

17 Fending Off the Paparazzi at a Young Age Made Shiloh Tough

Growing up with paparazzi continuously following you can't be easy.

Imagine dealing with strangers at premieres, whenever your plane lands somewhere, or when you're trying to have a family night out.

However, Shiloh and every kid in the Jolie-Pitt family seem well-adjusted, despite having to deal with this pressure. This is evident in Shiloh's casual style and ease during public appearances.

We suppose that growing up with this reality might make the paparazzi seem normal. Still, we can respect that Shiloh seems at ease with herself despite all the attention she's had to deal with since she was born. It takes an emotionally strong person to have that much grace.

16 She Is Already Fluent in Another Language

Many parents don't often force their children to learn a second language. They may only think about this when their child is asking for help with their homework as they get to middle or high school.

Angelina Jolie thought way ahead when it came to her children's education. Jolie made all of her children learn a second language of their choice. According to US Magazine, Shiloh is learning Khmai—Cambodia's language. Considering that Jolie, herself, hasn't admitted to speaking a second language, this is an impressive feat. Learning a second language will also give Shiloh more advantages in life, as per Bilingual Kidspot.

15 She Has Already Traveled Around the World

Because Shiloh doesn't attend traditional school, she has already been around the world with her mother. She has been to several humanitarian campaigns, premieres around the world, award shows, and other lavish affairs. This is in addition to family vacations and educational trips, as pointed out by the Daily Mail.

Few people have the opportunity to travel even as adults. As such, we can imagine that Shiloh has already amassed a lot of wisdom from these travels.

We're pretty sure Angelina Jolie also had similar opportunities, but Shiloh has the advantage of traveling with intention. Jolie expects her children to participate in local customs and eat local foods—including bugs.

14 Shiloh Learned About Human Rights From a Young Age

Coming from such a diverse family with two parents who are humanitarians, it's clear that Shiloh knows about human rights. Many young children don't learn about human rights and how to affect them until they get a little older.

Of course, if your mother directed films about the Khmer Rouge, there's an off-chance you learned a thing or two about the story.

According to People, Jolie made sure to teach her children about charity and humanitarian work. In fact, they often tag along with her in order to promote charitable causes. In Shiloh's case, there's even a wildlife sanctuary with her namesake in Namibia, where she was born.

13 Her Relationships With Family Seem Much More Solid

Shiloh's family ties seem a lot more solid than Angelina Jolie's. Granted, they grew up under different circumstances. However, having a family life that is less controversial can only help a child as they enter their teenage years. Of course, this will help Shiloh as she becomes an adult.

Even though Shiloh's parents are going through their own issues, she seems to have a good relationship with both of her parents, as reported by ET Online. This is quite different from Angelina Jolie's relationship with her family, much of which was tabloid fodder in the past, according to Nicki Swift. Plus, she and her siblings seem to get along great.

12 Shiloh Has Proven to be Resilient in the Face of Adversity

Celebrities have their problems too. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has seen her mother go through preventative surgeries because of a cancer gene, as reported by the NY Times. This event was highly publicized, and thankfully Angelina Jolie received a lot of support after making her health condition public. It doesn't help that public figures find vitriol written about them online even on a good day.

Plus, divorce is hard for anyone. Shiloh and her siblings have had to deal with the public's attention to their family's affairs.

She has remained strong throughout this ordeal. This sets an example of quiet strength for children everywhere who might be going through a similar rough patch.

11 She Always Expresses Herself

Though Shiloh doesn't really do exclusive interviews, we can deduce some of her personal opinions and tastes based on what we see her wear and do. According to Mirror, Angelina Jolie mentions that her children want to be musicians instead of becoming actors like their parents.

Since musicians are creative and expressive people, we can also assume that Shiloh lives in a world where she can feel free to share her opinions. This gives her the freedom to be herself even as others shower her with attention or offer unconstructive criticism.

Showing the world you're comfortable exploring your gender despite their watchful eyes is also a big hint.

10 Her Choices Have Already Affected Debates About Trans Children

Shiloh was 8 years old when she requested that her parents call her John. She also began wearing suits and sparked debates about non-binary, trans, and gender nonconforming children.

This type of announcement would be difficult for any child. Could you imagine dealing with this issue while the world is watching?

Thankfully, her family was supportive of her decision. Made for Mums reports that Shiloh began dressing in tracksuits and "boyish" clothing as a four-year-old. Jolie reported supporting Shiloh throughout her choices in wardrobe, haircuts, and other forms of self-expression. These choices immediately provided more representation in the media that other children could look up to.

9 Large Gatherings Don't Seem to Faze Her

According to NDTV, Angelina Jolie takes her children to premieres often. Though many non-celebrity children would be thrilled to attend, they might also see where this can be intimidating.

Hanging around with a bunch of adults to watch a film you're not sure you'll like? What if the host of an award show turns out to be boring? That might even make some children reconsider the glamour of the Hollywood lifestyle.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt seems to be comfortable around such events. Whether this means dealing with their tedium as an adult, Shiloh is sure to shine in premieres and other large-scale events in the coming years.

8 Fame Doesn't Really Get in the Way of Her Childhood

There are definitely some things that make the children of celebrities different from most other children. Still, it seems that Shiloh gets enough time to play with her siblings and friends. Jolie even took Shiloh to Disneyland on her birthday, as any parent would if they had the ability to do so.

As such, it seems that Shiloh seems comfortable living life as best as she can. It's hard for even most adults to focus on the present. This quality provides proof that Shiloh will impress us as we watch her grow up.

Hey, it can't be about glitzy events all the time!

7 She Grew Up With a Lot of Freedom

Sources such as The Richest have confirmed that the Jolie-Pitt children have few rules to follow. Some of the rules she is expected to follow don't even apply to her current situation (e.g. there's no drinking in the Jolie home, according to Babygaga). Growing up with this much freedom can hamper many children, but it seems like Shiloh is better for it.

She seems quite levelheaded and hasn't been through any public tantrums or other behavior outbursts.

Hey, even the children of non-celebrities might not be as well-adjusted as Shiloh if they had no rules. In a way, learning to live with few rules might help Shiloh be a better adult, as per Parents.com.

6 Shiloh Does Not Seem Shy!

Being yourself as a child and tween can be difficult. There's pressure to conform, as pointed out by ET Online, and hide some of your quirks, and this might even be worse for young public figures. Plus, she's surrounded by diverse groups of people at all times.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt doesn't seem overtly shy. Let's also be clear that shyness isn't inherently a bad trait. It's just that living within the A-list Hollywood bubble could be more difficult for the timid.

As such, we're glad that Shiloh is comfortable in her own skin. It shows children her age that they can handle anything they set their minds to.

5 She Is a Role Model For Her Younger Siblings

When Shiloh's younger sister Vivienne began dressing up in suits, many mentioned that she was imitating her big sister. A barrage of pictures on the internet show that Shiloh has a caring relationship with all of her siblings. Though she's not the oldest, Shiloh seems to be a leader in her family.

As such, we can infer that her independent spirit, will to explore her identity at a young age, and relative emotional strength are an example to her younger siblings. If having a sanctuary named after you, being involved in important identity discussions, and being sure of yourself aren't inspiring, we don't know what is!

4 Shiloh Has Already Been Exposed to Many Different Cultures

According to the Washington Post, Americans tend to live with people from their own culture. This means there's less exposure to new people and ideas.

For her part, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has already been exposed to various cultures around the world. In addition to spending time with many locals from different cultures, she also travels to many multicultural cities.

This can only benefit her in the coming years, especially as she decides on how to use her platform.

Considering the many studies on the benefits of living in a multicultural society, as per The Star, it's great that Shiloh has already seen so much at her age.

3 She Accepts Her Siblings for Who They Are

Though Shiloh seems to get the most attention from the media thanks to her resemblance to her parents, she also appears to accept her siblings for who they are. This would be tough in any family. Jolie's children were often allowed to wear whatever they wanted for days at a time.

That would be tough to accept, right?

Jolie has attempted to treat her children as if they're "normal." However, Shiloh's brother Knox has insisted they aren't normal and wants the family to express this, as pointed out by Babygaga. Shiloh seems to take this all in stride. Accepting one's siblings can be difficult under any circumstance, so it's exemplary that Shiloh offers them support however she can.

2 She Has Proven to be Caring, Despite Growing up With Privileges

Though it's true that not every celebrity is uncaring and cold, Shiloh has already shown she is concerned about others.

Shiloh has proven she pays attention to the world around her by going public with her desire to explore gender and participating in her parents' humanitarian efforts. She also exhibits humility despite growing up with a lot of resources.

Because she's so young, she hasn't been extensively interviewed alone. Still, you have to be caring in order to let your parents add your name to an animal sanctuary, right? Shiloh has also eaten bugs and participated in local customs whenever she's traveled the world.

1 Shiloh Has a Great Example to Follow!

The daughter of Marcheline Bertrand and Jon Voight, Angelina Jolie also grew up in the limelight, according to Biography. As she grew up, the media consistently wanted to portray her as either a particular kind of symbol -- a Hollywood siren-- or a dark and brooding soul.

Jolie went through a series of very publicized relationships and struggles while growing up as a celebrity but always managed to stay true to herself despite the media's pressure.

Jolie chose to carve her own path. She's been vocal about some of her past struggles and it's clear this has made her more resilient. It's only natural that her children would learn a thing or two from their mother's perseverance.
