Kylie Jenner has expressed concern at the influence her famous family exerts on the rest of the world.
They are some of the most followed and watched people on the planet and their every move can spark trends.
However, the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan says they should be careful about the standards they might be indirectly setting.
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, the 25-year-old said: “I just feel like we have huge influence and like what are we doing with that power?”

“I just see so many young girls on the internet now fully editing [their pictures]. Like, the editing!”
She admits she went through that 'phase' as well where she was carefully tweaking pictures to make her look as perfect as possible.
Kylie said she's now on the other side of that and is 'in a better place' but is still worried that 'other people can instill insecurities in you'.
It sparked an important conversation with her sisters about beauty standards.
She told them: “You don’t realize how you guys always talked about my ears?”
Khloe Kardashian agreed she used to make a few jokes here and there but it was only because she 'loved' Kylie's ears.
But the 25-year-old said she didn't get that 'love' message.
“I received it like everyone was making fun of my ears, calling them dopey. Like that f**ked me up," she revealed.
But when she gave birth to her first child, Stormi, she realised her daughter had the same ears as her and it gave her more confidence.
“If I'm insecure about my ears, and I think my daughter is the most beautiful thing ever… now I wear updo to every [red] carpet," she said.
The Kardashian-Jenner sisters agreed they don't want their insecurities to be passed on to their children.
The chat also gave Kylie a moment to address something that has plagued her for years.
She insisted she has never had plastic surgery on her face.
“I always loved myself. I still love myself," she said in the TV episode.
"One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I was just this insecure child and I got so much surgery to change my whole face — which is false.
"I’ve only gotten fillers and I don’t want that to be part of my story.”
