This is the story that YOU wanted to hear us talk about! It received 50 percent of the vote in our Radioactive poll!

“Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kylie Jenner is going through the typical teenage, rebellious stage. The 17-year-old youngest sister of Kim is also regularly changing up her look, including making her lips look way bigger than normal.

How does she achieve this plump look? Jenner says her look is natural, but it has been reported she uses makeup to make her mouth look larger.

Alarmingly, teens around the country are getting into the trend, using a shot glass or smaller glass to suck in their lips to cause swelling, USA Today reports.

Using the hashtag #kyliejennerchallenge on Twitter, teens posted their bruised pics online over the weekend.

It’s not only scary that these teenagers have gotten their hands on shot glasses, but this process is causing serious pain and scarring around the mouth. Kids, don’t try this at home!
