We have been seeing a lot of Kylie Jenner recently. Whether you followed her lavish 18th birthday party or have seen recent Instagrams of her various hairstyles, you can tell she is everywhere in the entertainment world.
But this week, we heard about Kylie doing something pretty amazing. She is encouraging others to stand up against bullying and let their voices be heard. Her new campaign, #IAmMoreThan, focuses on six people and the ways they turned bullying into something positive.
Kylie claims she has had to personally struggle with bullying her entire life. Because she grew up in the spotlight of the entertainment world, she receives a lot of backlash on social media. She made a confession on Instagram this summer in which she explained her struggle with bullying.
"I’ve been bullied since I’ve been 9," Kylie said. "From the whole world, it feels like sometimes… and I think that I’ve done a really great job in handling all this."
On Tuesday, the world was introduced to Renee DuShane, a college student with Pfeiffer syndrome. Kylie posted a picture of Renee, along with a caption of her struggle to stay positive and live life to the fullest in college.
"Loving is always going to be a better place than hating," Renee said.
What a reason to toss Kylie a follow on Instagram. She is speaking to an audience of 34.6 million people about a subject that has touched all our lives in one way or another, and we think that's pretty freakin’ awesome.
Bravo, Kylie, we love what you’re doing to combat bullying in our world today.
