He's now 7 inches taller than me. He's 6'4" and 15 y/o. I'm 17 and 5'9". I've been monitoring his growth for about two years now. He was about 2 inches shorter than me. Around this time last year we were about the same height and then he had his growth spurt of about 7 inches. I'm jealous because I'm older and I thought I would always be taller than him. It sucks having to look up at your "little brother", especially since now he treats me like I'm the little brother. He knows he has a size advantage over me and tries to be bossy sometimes. He's stronger and he knows that I know it because he proved it by seeing who could lift more weight and he won. I'm afraid he's gonna grow bigger still because he's younger. At my age I'm probably done growing. My question is : Has anyone had a similar experience themselves or know someone who has? Maybe the person could offer me some advice on how to face the situation.

you can't compete with nature
just love each other, life is too short
just be happy with what you have
anyways you still have time to grow
you stop growing about age 20-25

Genetics is such a crapshoot sometimes. Go spend some time weight training so you can at least beat him at that, even if you are shorter.
