Kylie Jenner Responds To The Lip-Destroying Madness Of The #KylieJennerChallenge

As you'll see from the compilation above, teenage girls (and some boys) have been inflating their lips to ridiculous proportions—resulting in the media having a field day—in an attempt to look like Kylie Jenner.

Even Kylie Jenner herself has spoken out about it.
