Kylie Landrus was not one to put herself out there. Until today, of course. When it comes to her attention that a girl is being bullied for the way she looks and for never having had sex before, she decides to take action and do something about it.
Of course, she can't to much about it, but what she can do is try to make people aware that they're not alone, that not having sex before the age of seventeen was normal, and that everyone has their own flaws. While trying to get her message across, she let it slip that she'd never even been kissed before.
