Kylie Jenner is on the cover of Interview Magazine and she is talking about a whole lot of topics in her life. Kylie who has always maintained that she has been bullied since she was a little girl gave more insight to the nature of bullying she received and how it affected her.
Interviewed by Chris Wallace, Senior editor at Interview, Kylie brought us into her world.
WALLACE: How did you come to your anti-bullying Instagram campaign, #IAmMoreThan?
JENNER: I feel like if I came out and just told my story about bullying, people wouldn't have sympathy and I'm totally okay with that, because people don't need to understand; they just think I'm not a normal person and live this magical life. But I wanted to give other people who have been bullied, and who overcame it to do something amazing, the opportunity to use my platform to bring awareness, to inspire people.
WALLACE: Well, I want to hear your story. You were bullied?
JENNER: Yeah, pretty much ever since I was 9, since the show started, there's been so much bullying towards me. Like, every single day I see something negative about me. And it's just completely torn me apart. I feel like I've lost so many amazing traits because I've listened to stupid people, ignorant people who are bullies.
WALLACE: Was it in person or online?
JENNER: It was in person, too. Just friends growing up. We were all young, and I always felt like people weren't friends with me for the right reasons, and they would be like, "You know everyone is just friends with you because you're famous," or just weird stuff. I had a lot of friend issues throughout the years. That took a toll, and now I have two really great best friends that are the only people I hang out with. I keep a close circle. But it doesn't affect me anymore; I'm totally fine with it. It's just when you're young, like 9, 10. It's just confusing and you don't know why people are saying mean things about you.
I feel like people are just paying more attention to me. Kendall and I were really branded together, and we wanted to do everything together, and we were like a team. And then Kendall started doing modeling, and that was her thing, and then I started doing my own thing. I just really want to be a businesswoman. The app was really my thing, and I worked really hard on it. And now I'm coming out with a lip kit and I'm just trying to do a lot of things on my own, so I feel like people are starting to recognize me as an individual.
WALLACE: Are you good with money? Does that part of business excite you?
JENNER: No.
WALLACE: [laughs] Well, there are people for that. You're 18 right now, right? Are you prepping for college?
JENNER: I'm not going to college. I have done everything to prepare for college, so if I wanted to in the future, I could go at any time. But I'm not planning on going anytime soon. [voice heard in the background] Kim just said, "Good girl!"
