Right now I am about 5' 6" (15 yrs old). My dad is about 5'4" and my mom is about 5'3"; my sister is 5'4". My grandfather on my mom's side is about half an inch shorter than me, and my grandmother on my dad's side is about 2 inches shorter than me. I am taller than most of my dad's side of the family, but on my mom's side, I have 2 cousins taller than me: one is female (in early 20s) and about 5'10", but her dad is also 5'10" so I understand that. But one of my other cousins (on mom's side, is male and is in early 20s), in a different immediate family, is male and about 5'11". His parents (which includes my mom's sister) are both shorter than me, but when he was my age, he was about 3" taller than me. His sister and brother (also my cousins) are also shorter than me, but he is much taller than me. It seems to me that he must of inherited a gene from his dad's side that made him pretty tall and that his bro/sis didn't, since I don't believe that it was his diet. Could anyone explain ;\
