Well, looks like Caitlyn isn't the only Jenner using her fame for good: Kylie Jenner's launched a new anti-bullying campaign on Instagram called #IAmMoreThan that shines a light on inspiring individuals who rose up against bullies and, in Kylie's words, "turned [bullying] into something positive."



That Kylie would choose to speak out against bullying is no surprise, considering the fact that the 18-year-old has been very open about the bullying she endured since she was nine-years-old (or roughly since the start of Keeping Up With the Kardashians) and how it was constant teasing about her lips that made her want to cosmetically enhance them. Jenner says the campaign will last for six days, with a new individual's story being shared on her Insta each day. Take a look at the first two posts -- about college student Renee DuShane rising above her genetic disorder and plus-size model Erica Schenk overcoming prejudice in the fashion industry -- below.
 

#Day2 - How pretty is Erica Schenk (@curve_model)?? Erica has been modeling since she was 14 and recently became super popular when she became the first plus size model to be featured on the cover of a fitness magazine! Her cover of @WomensRunningMagazine got attention from outlets ranging from @PeopleMag to @EOnline. Erica's @Instagram is really inspiring because of her extremely body-positive, beautiful photos she posts of herself. What I love about Erica is she refused to believe the haters who told her that her weight would hold her back from achieving her dreams. She told me that she thinks the most important thing people need to keep in mind is "to learn how to be your best friend. A lot of people will come and go in your life but they can never do as much for you as you can do for yourself." Check out Erica's Instagram @Curve_Model - she's teaching us all #IAmMoreThan the titles they give me.

#Day1 - Renee DuShane (@ALittlePieceofInsane) a 21 year old college student who was born with #PfiefferSyndrome. Renee described it as "a genetic disorder where the bones in my face don't really know how to fuse correctly so part of my jaw is really small. I had to have surgery when I was born so that my brain could grow." Renee is so strong willed and a super intelligent girl who told me that while growing up she never had many issues with bullying. "I went to school with all the same kids all the way through high school. Right around senior year, I started getting very anxious about having to explain my condition to all of the new people I would meet in college. I started going on Tumblr and saw lots of profiles of positive, confident people" that inspired her to start sharing her photos even with her insecurities. "It's so hard to keep myself from responding to the negative comments," she told me. "Even harder is keeping my friends from getting angry." It's so important to have a great group of friends. Renee also told me about the tattoo she recently got of her life motto: Stay Strong, Always Love. "Loving is always going to be a better place than hating," she shared. Check out Renee's Instagram @ALittlePieceofInsane - she's showing the world #IAmMoreThan my forehead. I love you Renee! She is so awesome & inspiring. Renee taught ME that #IAmMoreThan the negative comments that I read.
