India's Tallest Schoolboy is 6ft 7in at 14 and He's Looking for Love

A lot of teenage boys would want to find a girlfriend, and so does Yashwant Raut.

But as India's tallest teenager, he fears he will never find a girl who measures up his height.

The 14-year-old already stands at 6ft 7in and is still growing, with doctors warning he could reach soon reach 8ft, making him the world's tallest.

"I always hit my head when I'm walking around the house and in school, and I can't fit in our car or sit properly at my school desk," said Yashwant. "Everything is a problem for me.”

Yashwant, who wears size 15 shoes, was born in a "short" family - his father is 5ft 5ins, his mother only comes up to his waist at 4ft 5ins and his sister Triveni measures 5ft.

"I don't fit on my bed so I can't sleep properly at night. We need a customized bed but we haven't got round to it yet.”

What worries Yashwant the most is that when he's a grown-up, he might not be able to find a wife.

"I want a girl who will be tall enough," he said. "She has to suit my height. If I don’t find a girl who can match my height or get close even, I probably will not marry at all.”

But despite the daily trials and tribulations, Yashwant is trying to make the most of being unique and dreams of becoming a basketball player some day in the future.
