Jyoti Amge Is The World’s Smallest Girl

Jyoti Amge is much like any other 15-year-old. She goes to school, listens to music, watches DVDs. But, unlike most teen girls, instead of just feeling 2 feet tall when your friend’s older brother magically refuses to call you or possibly know you exist at all, Jyoti is actually a mere 1 foot, 11 inches:

The teenager, who is the world’s smallest girl according to the Indian Book of Records, has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia. Now fully grown, she weighs just 11 lb.

Far from being unhappy about her tiny size, Jyoti says that she enjoys the celebrity status her height has brought her.

“I am proud of being small. I love the attention I get,” she told the Sunday Mirror.

“I’m just the same as other people. I eat like you, dream like you. I don’t feel any different.”

No you don’t! You eat dew drops out of buttercups and dream on a lilypad. Please? Anyway, there is Jyoti, on the left, sitting next to her neighbor’s 13-month-old baby. She wants to be a Bollywood actress when she -grows up- gets older. And we can’t wait.
