Caitlyn Jenner might have changed physically since her transition into a woman, but as far as
her daughter
Kendall Jenner is
concerned, she's still her dad."My dad is my dad, but he's not
there physically anymore," the model said in
an interview with WWD on
Friday. "She lets me call her Dad – that's the last little piece of dad
I've got."

The model, who was recently named on
Forbes magazine's list of highest-paid models
(she reportedly makes more than $4 million a year), admitted that it hasn't
always been easy to be in the spotlight this year as her father, former
Olympian
Bruce Jenner, transitioned into Caitlyn.
"It would probably be different
for someone who didn't have to live it through the media," she said.
"But it's been a ride, for sure. It’s an adjustment. It’s something you
have to get used to. But I’ve known since I was a kid.
He never confirmed it to
me, but I’ve known for a very long time. It’s the same person. My dad says it
herself sometimes, it’s kind of like mourning the loss of someone, because it
is."
The Estee Lauder model said that part
of the way she copes with the intense focus on her life is by not looking at
what people are saying about her on social media.
"I don't pay attention to it – I
don't read it," the 19-year-old said. "I don't need it to affect my
life. So I'd rather just not look at anything. You can get a million comments
about how beautiful you look and how awesome you are, but the one comment that
says they hate you and you're ugly is the one that sticks."

Kendall, who grew up on TV on her
family's reality show
Keeping Up with the Kardashians, acknowledged that she's
learned what not to do by watching her older sisters,
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe
Kardashian. "My sisters raised me along with
my parents, and
Kylie and I got to
learn from their mistakes, for sure," she said. "We'd watch them to
learn about it before we actually got on the ride. My little sister and I make
our mistakes, but at least we're aware of it, what you have to be careful
of."
But there's one area where she's not
following in her big sisters' footsteps. Unlike sister Kim, who has
spoken out against tattoos or body modification, Kendall recently got
her nipple pierced.
The piercing was visible under a
body-hugging, white Calvin Klein Collection gown she wore at the Harper's
Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week on Wednesday.
She confirmed the piercing
to the New York Post's Page Six.
"I was going through a period in my life, having a rough time, being a
rebel and was like, 'Let's just do it.' "
Kendall said she was "so terrified" to get the
piercing. "I'm laying on the bed like, 'Why
am I doing this,' " she said. "Honestly, it hurt, but wasn't as bad as everyone
made it seem and maybe because everyone hyped it up and I thought it would be
really, really bad. Then it wasn’t as bad as I expected."
Kendall's little sister, Kylie, also hinted at
having
her own nipple piercings in April.
