Usually growth like that isn't normal and is caused by a tumor pressing on the pituitary gland.

Lucky him. Even if he has absolutely no talent at all, he'll still go into the NBA. There he'll make millions of dollars just for being tall. This is assuming he doesn't suddenly stop growing.

My parents thought I was going to be short, as I was below-average height at around 10...so I took growth hormones from some alternative doctor lady.

I'm 6'6" 260 pounds now. :Q

I am glad i am 19 years old and about the size of that average 12 year old in the picture. Extemely Serioious. Only 108 to 115 pounds too. I like being a very smalll human being. Yes i am male. I will just always will be a very small human being and thats fine with me. Its very iroinic that maybe a 10 to 13 year old could easily pick me up and throw me lol or lift me as a weight easily. I know it sounds strange but i am so light and little i know its possible

Yeah, he is a bit chubby, he doesnt get as much exercise as he should, but he will start playing football this fall, either peewee or youth league, he'd be a good defensive tackle, the other kids his age would pee in their pants when they saw him coming, literally, they would actually pee in their pants :D

I thought grow hormone was illegal? Does it also have side-effects?

Say hello to the next LeBron James, perhaps.
I'd say the next Shaq. This kid is big, but doesn't look freakish like those guys with that weird giantism condition.

thats derrick character. he's a freshman in high school now, and scouts are already looking at him for the nba. he's lost a lot of weight since that picture, i think he's 6'9 now too.
