Rodrigo Santos Motta, a 19-year-old resident of the Brazilian city of Ipiau, has already grown to 2 meters 20 cm and, according to doctors, he continues to grow.
Being too tall brings Rodrigo only trouble. When he was 17 years old and he was in school, his height was already 218 cm and he simply could not fit behind a standard pair.
In addition, his classmates teased and mocked him, so Rodrigo could not stand it until the end of his studies and left school. But even buying clothes and shoes turns into torture for him.
The whole family of Rodrigo is small people and no one knows "who he was born into."

“The most difficult thing for me is finding clothes for my height, but I also have big problems with my bed. A bed for my height simply does not exist and therefore I have to sleep on the floor,”the guy complains.
Examination by doctors revealed an abnormality in the production of growth hormones, but doctors do not yet know what caused it and how to treat it.

According to Rodrigo, an anomaly with growth appeared at about 12 years old (with the onset of puberty). It was from this age that he suddenly reached up sharply and soon overtook his peers.
Doctors recommend that Rodrigo be seen every week, but so far the exact cause of his anomaly has not been found. At the same time, Rodrigo continues to grow.
