Puberty is a tough time for anyone. The angry pimples that commandeer your complexion, the awkward voice-dropping stage for boys, and the sudden growth spurts up, out and in front of you for girls. It's a lot to deal with, and kind of like being given an entirely new body that you don't really know what to do with.
And while the emotional turmoil with all these new hormones can have you feeling even more like a yo-yo of feelings, imagine if you had to go through it all with a great, big spotlight on you as well. Well, that's how it was for super-celeb
, who's basically been famous since she was a kid. The first episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashian's aired on
October 14, 2007, when Kylie was just 10-years-old.

And she's been featured on the reality TV show to this day, so you can imagine that from then to now at age 20, it would be impossible not to notice her growing up. But did they think she'd blossom into the curvaceous, lippy young woman that she is today? Certainly not. And this year, a meme was created to demonstrate exactly the... err,
special
kind of puberty that Kylie appeared to have gone through.

It's kind of mean, implying that Kylie one-upped her own body by exaggerating the wider hips and bigger boobs that all women experience during puberty by spending money on plastic surgeries and other kinds of cosmetic enhancements. While the 20-year-old has admitted to getting temporary lip fillers, she denies that she's ever gotten any kind of plastic surgery.
"You guys have watched me grow up since I was 9. My face is going to get different," she told Cosmo in 2015. "Now, I know how to do my makeup, contour, and everything. I’m not against surgery. I’d never say no, but I don’t desire it right now."

But people aren't buying it, Kylie. You can't deny she did look
very
different back then. People who seem to be very invested in the young star and the happenings of her bodily capacity are very sceptical and think she seems a little
too
grown up to blame it all on puberty. And they've got some pretty funny reactions to the comparison photo of her before and after bikini photos.

Of course, the young celebrity is never going to be able to avoid
. Plus, being in the celebrity spotlight all the time means people are always going to insist on you getting pampered, preened and primed to the highest degree, especially when you've got a lot of fat cash to splash.
I genuinely think it would be impossible for any celebrity to escape the wrath of stylists, makeup artists and personal trainers set upon you by managers (or momagers). And so maybe from there, it doesn't seem too bad at all to opt for an extra kind of beauty service too.

While the meme was originally circulated at the beginning of the year, it's doing the rounds of the internet yet again now. And you know what? At least it's giving people a brief break from the
right now, which hasn't yet been confirmed nor denied by the family (seriously, TELL US).
But still, give her a break everyone, will you? Puberty's a pretty cruddy time for anyone.
