Fame isn’t a game for the weak. Kylie Jenner knows this, but also, she’s still only human. The youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner family, she was only 9 years old when the family’s reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, began. As a result, she’s had to spend her most formative years with a camera in her face, opening her up to nothing but comments and opinions on her life. Other people’s perception of her is something that Kylie is very aware of — including everything they like to criticize and critique. But there's one thing that bothers her more than others.

Kylie's been forced to grow a thick skin.
"When you share so much, you open yourself up to more comments and more people’s opinions of your life … It’s just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are accepted. There’s nothing anyone could ever say now that would hurt me," Kylie said in an interview with The New York Times last year.
People have long speculated about her looks.
Kylie's appearance has come under scrutiny many times over the years, especially her lips. They began to change during her teen years, and for a long time, she denied having any sort of cosmetic procedures or surgery, instead saying that the change was simply due to makeup tricks. Eventually, she fessed up.
Eventually, she did admit to undergoing certain cosmetic procedures.
"I have temporary lip fillers," she admitted in a 2015 episode of KUWTK. "It’s just an insecurity of mine, and it’s what I wanted to do. I’m just not ready to talk to reporters about my lips yet, because everyone always picks us apart."
In later years, she went on to admit to other cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, but has since said she regrets her decision.
Kylie is evolving and maturing.
As she gets older, Kylie is looking to the future and how aging will reshape her brand. She told the Times that this new time highlights "maturity" and "sophistication." Really, she’s embracing this opportunity to start "stripping down a little bit."
"I don’t have this thick mane down to my butt, I don’t have lash extensions, I don’t have these long claws," she said.

She once said she wanted to give it all up at 30.
In 2015, Kylie told Interview Magazine that she wanted to use her 20s to build her business empire and then leave it all behind to enjoy her life. "When I’m, like, 30, I want to go off the map, have a family, and live in Malibu with a farm, and just raise my own chickens," she said. "My next goal for 2016 is to learn how to garden."
We'll see what the future holds!
