World's tallest teenager Malee Duangdee is still growing...



Towering above her parents, Malee Duangdee holds the record for being the world’s tallest teenager – and she could still be growing.

The 19-year-old is 2.12m (6ft 10in) tall and weighs 127kg (20st) but the world record has brought her a lifetime of loneliness.

Her height is down to a brain tumour that was diagnosed when she was nine. It caused a hormone imbalance and impaired her vision.

'She looked different to her friends and I got a little worried,' her mother Ji said. 'I took her to the doctor because I wanted to be sure there was nothing seriously wrong with her.' More...

Don't miss:

  2. The world's tallest model??? Mama mia...
  3. The world's smallest guy and the world's longest legs!!!
  4. India's wolf-boy, Pruthviraj Patil, has new hopes for a cure...
