  The Kurt Coleman Supply Company exists to 'promote the poster-boy to thousands of youth around the world for being who you are and not caring what anyone else thinks.'

  In a manner not dissimilar to Justin Bieber, the social media star polarises opinion. Some admire his beauty and liberating 4 individualism but others lament 5 the popularity of a modern-day Narcissus whose looks have stunted 6 the development of his personality.
  与Justin Bieber的方式没什么不同,大家对这位社交明星的看法两极分化。有的人欣赏他的美貌和个性解放,其他人则叹息这位“现代版纳西索斯”的名气——外表阻碍了个性发展。(小编注:希腊神话中,美少年纳西索斯(Narcissus)深爱自己的美貌,后因恋上自己在水中的倒影而在死后化做了水仙花。自恋的英语名称正源自这个故事。)
  'Haters' regularly confront him in the street and the teenager admits to having been hit many times.
