12-year-old schoolgirl becomes world's tallest pre-teen at 6ft 2in
The schoolgirl can touch the ceiling at home as she towers over friends and family.
Being tall is just one of many things people aspire for when thinking of overall fitness. But some people can grow surprisingly fast and stand out in a crowd for their physical features.
12-year-old Sophie Hollins stands proud at 6ft 2in as she has set a record thanks to her height. The schoolgirl can touch the ceiling at home as she towers over friends and family.
Sophie has been named as the world’s tallest pre-teen by Guinness World Records, but she will be happy if a procedure to stop her growth is successful. Her life-threatening genetic disorder is affecting the body’s connective issues.
The girl has also faced issues at school with many calling her a giraffe and her mother was worried about her at one point of time when she was very skinny.
