A Teenage Bindi Irwin Covers People Mag

For those of you unfamiliar with Bindi she is the daughter of the late Steve Irwin affectionately known as the crocodile hunter. Bindi was captured on screen many times with her father as he did what he loved before his untimely death involving a stingray in 2006.

Almost 16-years-old (her birthday is tomorrow) Bindi is opening up to People magazine about her coping and life now as she continues her father's legacy.

"I remember after we lost Dad, so many adults came up to me and said, 'Honey, time heals all wounds,' " Bindi, who turns 16 on July 24, tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "That is the biggest lie you will ever hear. It doesn't." 
She continues, "That kind of sadness never goes away. It's like losing a piece of your heart that you never get back."
