Full Story: "World's smallest girl proud of her tiny size
By Kate Day
At just 1ft 11 in tall, she is dwarfed by her neighbour's baby, but Jyoti Amge is 15 years old.
How About That? Because news doesn't have to be serious
The teenager, who is the world's smallest girl according to the Indian Book of Records, has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia. Now fully grown, she weighs just 11 lb.
Far from being unhappy about her tiny size, Jyoti says that she enjoys the celebrity status her height has brought her. “I am proud of being small. I love the attention I get,” she told the Sunday Mirror.
“I'm just the same as other people. I eat like you, dream like you. I don't feel any different.”
Jyoti attends her local high school, in Nagpur, India, where she studies alongside classmates of her own age, though she sits at a specially made miniature desk."
