I am 17 years old-turning 18-soon, and i am only 5'3-5'4. My brother is 5"8 at least. My brother and i generally took my mothers genes; will i be taller, or as tall as he is? I hit puberty when i was 13, grew a tiny bit upwards, then at 16 i started to get braoder. I havent gotten any taller since i was 14-15ish. Is there still hope for me?

generally growth continues until 20, 22 at the latest. You've done most of your growing @ 17.
to answer your question, hope; yes.
hold your breath; no.

Yes... I can't remember the age but I believe growth evens out at 32 altho any growth after 22 is slower.
A friend was only about 5'4" throught high school... he is now 6'"4 and taller than me after being sooooo small for so long. People are different and nothing you can do about it... so enjoy what you have.

Yes there probably is still hope for you, most people stop growing when they've turned 18, but everyone is different. When did yu're brother stop growing? Maybe you'll be the same!

Physically, around 17.
Mentally, around 2 seconds after fertilisation.
