They say about proud people that they look down on everyone. 12-year-old Sophie Hollins can hardly be ranked among the proud, although she is used to looking at those around her from top to bottom. She does this not because she is arrogant and scornful of others, but only because she is really above all her peers. She is the tallest girl in the world, and this fact is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Her height is 6 feet 2 inches, that is, about 189 cm!
What is the reason
At the age of 6, Sophie's height reached 124 cm. A girl living in the city of Southampton has had Marfan syndrome from 8 months.
Her body produces the wrong amount of protein. This is not due to Sophie's high growth age. Marfan syndrome is not safe for life, so the girl was treated. Now doctors managed to curb the jump in her growth.
Now without complexes
Previously, Sophie was complex because of her growth, but now she has a positive attitude, she is not going to grow anymore and wants to be an ordinary teenager. Sophie's mother complains that her daughter was laughed at at school, called her a giraffe. According to mom, Sophie is trying not to pay attention to it.
Sophie dreams that when she becomes an adult, she will find work related to animals. We hope that her dream will come true!
