The Tallest Teenagers in the World

Posted: 18 May 2011 12:00 AM PDT

Elisany Silva from Brazil

The 14 year-old Brazilian teen with 6'9″ tall. Her height hasn't come without problems. She had to leave school as she could no longer safely sit down in the school bus. Her parents don't have enough money to determine the cause of or treat her inordinate growth. A medical specialist speculates that she has a rare disease called Gigantismo, a condition that causes the brain to over produce growth hormones. But Elisany wants to make the best of her size, explaining that she is interested in modeling. She will soon make her runway debut at a bridal fashion show in Belem, Brazil.
