Kylie Jenner is an 18 year old public figure who
is constantly in the news for one thing or another. However, the Jenner
sister says that it is not all glamorous and opens up in a new Instagram
message about how she breaks down, hides, and cries over some of the
comments she reads.
Also within the message, she compares herself to a
woman who has been dubbed “the ugliest woman on earth” and tries to
show how their problems in terms of bullying are not so different.
Take a look at the whole thing for yourself after the jump:
#Day4 – I’m getting a little more personal… When Lizzie Velasquez
(@LittleLizzieV) was 17 years old, someone posted a video of her on
YouTube calling her the world’s ugliest woman. “By the time I saw the
video, it had 4 million views.” Now 26 years old, Lizzie’s condition was
diagnosed last summer. Lizzie suffers from a rare congenital disease
that less than 10 people in the world are known to have. The disease
impedes her from accumulating body fat; she literally has zero percent
body fat and has never weighed more than 64 pounds, however though it is
not terminal. Throughout her entire life, this condition has resulted
in a lot of #bullying. It is so unacceptable to treat people like this.
People are so quick to say horrible things about me everyday over and
over and sometimes I can’t take it. Even I at times get affected by it, I
breakdown, I hide, I cry. It’s resulted in a lot of anxiety for me that
I’ve never had to deal with before ever. My every move has been
documented for the whole world and its been a nightmare trying to find
myself through all of this. And I’ve absolutely lost apart of myself.
Lizzie, you are so strong and I admire you so so much. Lizzie has taken
that negative energy and has turned it around by traveling around the
world doing motivational speeches. When I asked her what the key
messages were of her speeches, she told me that “Most importantly I try
to convey that all you need to have is a brave heart to accomplish
whatever you want to achieve. Let the negative build you up instead of
knocking you down. You are enough no matter what; you were put on this
earth for a reason” Soon you’ll be able to see her story on the big
screen in the documentary film @ABraveHeartFilm in theaters on September
25th. Check out Lizzie’s Instagram @LittleLizzieV – she’s taking a
lifetime full of bullying to help teach the world #IAmMoreThan the names
they call me. #ImWithLizzie and Lizzie taught me #IAmMoreThan who I
think I am. For me, this is expected it comes with the territory. But
Lizzie, you should of not had to go through that. Let’s change this
together. I love you Lizzie! I’ll see you soon.
