A disturbing thread has gone viral where teens are photographing themselves pouting with swollen lips and sullen faces.
It’s called the Kylie Jenner challenge and it needs to stop.
Thousands of teenagers are grabbing a shot glass, placing it over their lips and suctioning like crazy until their pout is terrifyingly puffy.
They are then posting the images on Instagram, Twitter and Imgur.
The disturbing trend is inspired the much talked about pout of 17-year-old Kylie Jenner who is the youngest daughter of the Kris Kardashian and Bruce Jenner, made famous by their reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
What is concerning mothers everywhere is the trend she has spawned.
The reportedly painful method involves participants placing their mouth over the opening of a cup, jar or shot glass and sucking in until the air vacuum causes their lips to swell up
Though Kylie has tried to distance herself from the craze.
“I’m not here to try & encourage people/young girls to look like me or to think this is the way they should look,” she wrote on Twitter.
“I want to encourage people/young girls like me to be YOURSELF & not be afraid to experiment w your look.”
