Isn't it suppose to be similar to at least one person in my family because of the genes?

Not necessarily. When it comes to body all sorts of factors can take effect, like diet, or activities in which you engage, such that it would shape your body differently, depositing muscle in certain places and neglecting others. Also, hormone levels, and growth factors and so forth. Like being very athletic or drinking lots of caffeine as a child can stunt your growth. Similarly, getting good calcium and iodine in your diet can make you grow bigger and taller. So who knows.
My body doesn't look like any of the women in my family, mom or dad's side. I don't know where it came from, but that's okay.

Called recessive genes.

it likely is. but the person who your body relates to is probably already dead. it may be the genes of your great great grand mother passed down.

Ummm have you considered you might be adopted? God made you special, and He never makes a mistake. Learn to accept it.

do you look like the post-man? just kidding.
2 things, recessive genes, or you just haven't "grown" into it yet... do you look like your momma when she was your age, dad's sister, grandma?

Are you adopted? Kidding. maybe you resemble a dead relative or someone from the past.

You should ask your mother if she ever got "friendly" with the mail man!.... lol, no talk to your parent(s) about your concern.

Not necessarily, your metabolism, physical health and mental state (happy,sad,angry,etc.) has something to do with it as well.
