Does this sentence make sense?

One puny, young boy stands out like a sore thumb. He deviates from the status quo of hyperactive, twitchy pupils.

It's two sentences. No. The status quo is not the norm, it is a state of affairs.

  • It's two sentences.
  • No.
  • The status quo is not the norm, it is a state of affairs.
  • Sore thumbs stick, not stand, out.
  • There should be no comma between "puny" and "young".
