You will continue to grow....relax and do not worry you will probably be taller than your brother and want people to answer questions of how do you get shorter!

Every night rub oil on your chest so your body will stretch. Be careful not to use vegetable oil though, because that's shortening.
Just kidding. It would be helpful if you started working out or became active in some sport. Young bodies will develop faster when put to physical stress. Also increase your food intake so your muscle mass will develop as well. Diet and activity level are important when your body is growing. If you just sit around playing video games and eating junk food, your body won't develop to it's max.

Genetics does play a factor in height. It may be that you will only get to be about 5'7" or 5'8". Don't worry about height right now; my brother was 5'7" when he started college and he is now 6'0". Males continue to have growth spurts until they are about 20 years old.

You'll keep growing. I'll bet you're taller than a lot of your peers. Guys can keep growing after high school.
