Time magazine puts Kendall and Kylie Jenner on its 25 Most Influential Teens list

KYLIE and Kendall Jenner have been named on Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 list — and not everyone is happy about it.

Jenners ‘more influential than Malala’

KYLIE and Kendall Jenner have been named on Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 list — and not everyone is happy about it.

The Jenner sisters are listed alongside the likes of 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai (the youngest winner ever of the Nobel Peace Prize), Kiwi singer, Lorde, President Obama’s daughters Malia, 16, and 13-year-old Sasha and all around wunderkind, Tavi Gevinson.

“What’s wrong with this magazine?” wrote Twitter user @missyp6343.

“If I live in a world where Time names Kendall & Kylie Jenner as the most influential ppl of 2014 I don’t want to be a part of it any longer,” posted Twitter user @KelssssLynn, according to an article by RadarOnline.com.

Twitter user @ellaohno posted: “How can you compare Kylie Jenner to Malala Yousafzai looool.”

The magazine described the reality stars as young women to watch out for. Among their achievements, Time noted that the pair have: “Hosted red-carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel this past summer.”

The magazine also pointed to Kendall Jenner’s rapid rise in the fashion world, modelling for the likes of Marc Jacobs, Givenchy and Balmain at both New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.

Meanwhile, the Jenners’ good mate Jaden Smith has been listed among the most influential teens. Time dubbed the 16-year-old a “Confucius for the internet age”, citing his clever Twitter musings as the reason for his addition to the list.

They printed some of his most popular tweets, including, “Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake,” and “Once You Witness A Cycle Enough Times You Step Out Of It.”
