Could this be the tallest teenage boy in the world?
Updated | By Nokuthula Ngcobo
The 14-year-old's measurements and application are being reviewed by Guinness World Records.
At 2.21 meters in height and still growing, Ren Keyu from China is standing out from the rest, literally.
According to reports, the grade nine pupil has applied to be the world's current tallest male teenager with Guinness World Records - a title held by an American teen who was 2.159 metres tall when he was 16.

After many tests and examinations from doctors, Keyu's stature is not the result of any medical condition - instead it is genetic, as his parents and grandparents are all taller than 1.8 metres.
Keyu's height means that teachers have to get his desk, chair, and uniform tailor-made to fit his fast-growing body.
He also has a hard time using public transport or visiting amusement parks due to height restrictions.
