Over the past Few weeks thousands of teens (especially girls) have attempted the Kylie Jenner Challenge.
What is the Kylie Jenner Challenge?
Some of us may know Kylie for her big, volumuous, pillowy lips and they’re not natural (at all). So we all ponder, how does Kylie get her big lips? Then some of us sparked an idea of sucking air out of any small glass cups or shot glasses. About half a million people have followed this trend and amongst those millions of people, they have tweeted it. The Kylie Jenner challenge had been trending worldwide. And the results:
The results had done some damage on everyone’s face. The question is why do it? “I think everyone just wants to follow the crowd.” Says west Junior Justin Gick as he folds his arms. Maybe. ET online wrote that most teens just want to look like Kylie Jenner. Most of the girls I have surveyed would never attempt the challenge.
“I’ve done the challenge and my lips stayed purple for three days. Don’t do it! ” Warns one of that 25% of students. Once Kylie noticed the trend that was going around, she took her thoughts straight to twitter.  “I’m not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look. I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment w your look.” Tweets Kylie. Kylie doesn’t mean any harm to people. She just wants you to be yourself. Seeing the after math of the Kylie Jenner Challenge is also A Dermatologist’s Worst Nightmare. Dermatologist, Dr. Engelman had explained that you can put yourself at risk for   permanent disfigurement. Sucking into a shot glass makes all the blood rush to your lips causing discoloration and bruising. The bruising would stay with you for a week or so and the swelling should go down in a matter of 24 hours or less. Do yourself a favor and don’t try this. Your lips are fine.
