Florida never misses with its headlines. This time, a 15-year-old has come out as a one-man uprising against gravity. While doctors brushed off his early symptoms for years, they’ve finally caught up with reality as he’s almost as tall as the tallest teen in the world now.

He was quietly enjoying the fame of being the tallest in class for years and drew eyes from everyone. But soon enough, he began to wonder if he’s simply tall or there’s something his doctors have been comfortably overlooking.
