As I am sure that you all know by now, there was a controversy surrounding the uber famous model Kendall Jenner. Some people are upset that Kendall and her mom, Kris Jenner, were teasing them with an announcement in which Kendall comes out with something that is super personal.

People suspected that she may be coming out or that she was going to admit to having an eating disorder.

They were very disappointed though, when she revealed that she was just the new spokesperson for Proactive. She released a video in which she discusses her struggle with acne over the years and how Proactive helped her get raid of it.

Thus an Internet debate got fueled because they found footage of Kylie saying that their dermatologist used laser to make Kendall's acne go away, which discredits her saying that it was Proactive.

Honestly, she could have used both Proactive and lasers but whatever helped her cure it, I think that people overreacted to the situation.

Kris said in a Tweet that she was "so proud" of her daughter for her bravery at sharing her story.

Some people were really annoyed by this, but as someone who has suffered from acne since middle school, I think that she has every right to be proud of her.

I wrote an article last year in which I discussed my acne struggles and my coming to terms with it and it was not easy to make myself so vulnerable on the Internet, which can become such a nasty platform sometimes.

I think that it was brave of Kendall to share her story.

I am not interested in the logistics of it and as to whether or not Proactive was what really cured it.

However, I am interested in how she admitted to how much it ruined her self-confidence and how it made social situations uncomfortable for her.

This is because this is something that I can relate to.

I can relate to the feeling of not liking how I look in pictures and not wanting people to talk to me because I didn't want them to see my face.

I can imagine that it was especially hard for her since she is such a public profile and there are quite literally thousands of people out there judging her.

No one should let acne stop them from doing things but it can be crippling to people's self esteem.

As an adult who still struggles with acne I believe Kendall was strong for sharing her story because I personally know how hard it was for me to do so.

I do however, believe that she maybe should have worded her promos for it differently, but no one is perfect.

Whether her motives for being the spokesperson for Proactive are money driven or if she genuinely wants to help people who are going through what she has gone through, I think that anyone who has suffered from real sever acne should at least see the point of view that Kendall is coming from.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you.
