3 FEET HIGH AND RISING

Meet the THREE FEET tall teen who is looking for love


Like many teenagers, Hannah Kritzeck loves singing, ballet and dancing to hip-hop.
But there's one thing that sets her apart from her peers - she's just 39 inches tall.
And now, Hannah, who's height is equivalent to 3.2ft, has told how she wants all the same things as her friends - including the man of her dreams.
The 19-year-old was born with primordial dwarfism, a rare condition that only affects about 100 people in the world, which causes short stature and health problems, including the threat of brain aneurysms and a shortened life-span.
Hannah has to bravely face the reality of her condition, while also dealing with the normal teenage challenges.
Hannah said: “Everyone thinks I’m five-years-old when they see me and it’s frustrating because I’m not a baby.
“Just because I’m smaller, doesn’t mean I’m any different.
“Looking to the future, I’d like to get married and have my own family."
She said: “I go shopping with my friends but finding clothes that fit me is extremely difficult.
“I always have to get my clothes tailored or in a kids size - I can’t buy high heeled shoes like my other friends.”
And just like many other teenage girls, Hannah is looking for love.
“Lots of my friends have boyfriends - I’d like to have a boyfriend, and I believe in romance - but I just haven’t got it yet.
“My ideal man would be someone with blue eyes, brown hair, and a mohawk - and someone who would protect me.
“Looking to the future, I’d like to get married and have my own family.
“I would like to have two kids, a boy and a girl."
