Marvadene Anderson, a US resident who is said to be the world's tallest teenage girl at 6 feet 11 inches, says the rudest thing that she has ever been told is that she won't "be able to find a husband".
"People are friendly with me because of my height and my personality. If I was tall and mean, I think I'd have a problem," The Telegraph quoted Anderson as saying on Tuesday.
"The rudest thing anybody ever said about my height is that I'm not going to be able to find a husband."
Anderson, who is studying at Rutgers Preparatory School in New Jersey, is a terror for opposition teams across the state when she plays for the school basketball team.

JJ Quenault, her school teacher, said: "Marvadene is wonderful addition to the school and the basketball team here. The other girls were stunned by her height when they first met her and I must admit so was I, but now she is almost irreplaceable in the team.
"She is going to be a star in the world of girls' basketball and even though she has only recently adapted to basketball from netball, we expect a big future from her."
She is a good five inches taller than her idol, basketball legend Michael Jordan.
