Listen up, haters: Kendall Jenner has something to say!

When you look at Kendall in one of her photo shoots, it's hard to believe that people would be criticizing her figure. Yet, as the 17-year-old model admits in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia, it happens all too often.

"I'm constantly criticized for being too skinny," the 5-foot-10 E! star said in her interview. "I'm trying to gain weight but my body won't let it happen. What people don't understand is that calling someone too skinny is the same as calling someone too fat. It's not a nice feeling."

"It doesn't take much snooping to confirm that Kendall is, as she says, trying to gain weight. She Instagrammed a pic of some rather delicious-looking cupcakes last week, and was spotted buying some Easter treats from Crumbs Bakery with Kylie yesterday. Even Khloe Kardashian Odom called Kendall a "supermodel who eats crap all day!"

Kendall has spoken out publicly against bullying of all kinds before along with her sister, Kylie Jenner. Khloe has been outspoken on the issue as well, pulling from her own experiences with bullying and working with her husband Lamar Odom to help prevent teen suicides.

Of course, Kendall's sisters made sure to throw their support behind her. "How gorgeous does Kendall look in her Harper's Bazaar Arabia spread?!?" wrote Khloe. "I cannot get over these pics! She is absolutely breathtaking!!!!"

"Kendall's Harper's Bazaar Arabia spread is so stunning! She did an amazing job and the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous," Kim Kardashian added on her blog.
