Dear Kardashian-Jenner Family,
Let me start off by saying I watch your show all the time--almost religiously. It's my guilty pleasure. While not all that much happens in each episode, for some reason I find your lives interesting.
It's intriguing to see the amount of shoes that the line shelves of your closets that are bigger than the entire first floor of my house. I love seeing the clothes you wear, the houses you live in, the cars you drive, the designer bags that hang on your arm, and the amazing heels you strut through life in.
It's jaw-dropping knowing that at 19, Kylie lives on her own in a big, gorgeous house and has her own successful makeup line (which I have already spent more money on than I'd like to admit), Kim and Kanye are basically the King and Queen, and Kendall dominates the modeling industry.
You are all quickly taking over the world.
However, there are some things I have a real problem with, and I feel as though many people my age feel the same way.
All of you are so, outrageously famous. Everyone knows you, and everyone watches you. You have a responsibility to them. With all of your success and status comes a duty. A duty to be respectful of those that respect you, and be honest with them.
My biggest problem is with the plastic surgery. If you have an overwhelming insecurity that you've never been able to overcome, I say, sure, go ahead, fix it if you are able. But be honest about it. You have the power to have a huge impact on the lives of people you don't even know exist. There are little girls that are going to grow up believing that they should look like you--that it's possible for us 'normal people' to look like you without the help of a needle. And they are going to do whatever it takes to achieve that.
I'm not a doctor or statistician or a psychiatrist, but this troubles me in that I see it leading to greater insecurity, more eating disorders and body-image issues. I know you all promote being healthy and feeling comfortable in your own skin, but it's easy to see that you haven't simply relied on diet and exercise.
So I ask you, for younger generations that will grow up knowing you, to think. Think about what you say and do. Think about how you got to where you are now. And think about who you owe that to. Think about what you owe them for helping give you the life you have: respect and honesty.
You wouldn't be so successful without all of your fans supporting you, buying your products, following you on social media, and like me, watching KUWTK every Sunday night.
Sincerely,
A concerned fan
