ELISANY SILVA berbual dengan adiknya di rumah mereka di Braganca, Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO - Seorang remaja perempuan berusia 14 tahun di Brazil memiliki ketinggian 2.06 meter sekali gus menjadikannya antara remaja paling tinggi di dunia, lapor sebuah akhbar semalam.
Ketinggian remaja itu, Elisany Silva terus meningkat pada kadar 0.l5 meter setahun disebabkan sejenis penyakit tumbesaran tetapi keluarganya tidak mampu untuk membiayai kos perubatan anak mereka bagi menghalang ketinggiannya.
Bercakap dari rumahnya di negeri Para, Elisany memberitahu sebuah stesen televisyen tempatan bahawa dia tidak dapat pergi ke sekolah kerana tempat duduk bas terlalu kecil untuk dirinya.
"Di rumah juga sukar. Apabila saya leka, kepala saya akan terhantuk pada siling rumah," katanya.
Elisany berharap dia dapat menggunakan ketinggiannya untuk menjadi seorang model fesyen yang berjaya.
Remaja perempuan itu tinggal di sebuah rumah kecil bersama beberapa saudara perempuan dan ibunya, Ana Maria Silva serta bapa tirinya, Luiz Jorge. - Agensi

Elisany Silva, Tallest Teen In The World
She was born and raised in Ajuruteua, small village on the coast 36 kilometers from the center of Bragança, northeastern Pará in Brazil. She is one of seven children of the fisherman Jorge Luiz Miranda, 39, and housewife Ana Maria Cruz, 36 years. But only she grew more than normal. From the age of 11, Elizane began to grow faster than other siblings and now measures 2 meters and 6 centimeters high.
Routine tests at local hospital in Bragança, such as blood, faeces, electrocardiogram, did not reveal any abnormality. The same with tests at Hospital de Clínicas Gaspar Vianna in Belém. "But the doctors sent my daughter to be examined at the Hospital Barros Barreto", said Ana Maria Cruz.
The girl had abandoned school two years ago, while studying the 5th grade of elementary school, due to the pain and discomfort in the school chairs.
"I have a lot of headaches and forget everything that happens afterward. I have more memories as a child than those times now." Elizane has pains in the legs, arms and joints, apart from frequent headache that is the main nuisance.
Besides the physical pains, Elizane's mood swings too abruptly. "I am sad without knowing why, I am angry without reason. This all started when I began to grow that way."
As she prepares to take the exams that might reveal the reasons for the excessive growth, she waits for debut on the catwalk - seven days before completing 15 years, on September 20, she will be ending the designer's show in Belém, dressed as a bride. There will be no birthday party because "the priority is her health," says her mother.
In early August 2010 she will do further health tests at the Hospital Barros Barreto.
Everyone on the beach Ajuruteua is accustomed to the presence of Elizane, but when she comes to town, she turns attraction, people are looking admired at her.
