It's normal for a man to be 5'6 at the age of 17. It depends on the parents if they are short or tall and also the grandparents. If the family line have a gene that you guys are all short, well, he's probably stop growing. Except, if your parents are tall, and there's a family line have a gene that you guys are all tall, then it's possibly he isn't done growing. Sometimes the hormones stop for a while, and start kicking up later on his life, and he'll start growing again. Sometimes, the hormones will stop even though the family are all tall. It just depends on that person, and the parents. Also, it sometimes the nationality (where your brother is from). If your brother is a white man, he is undersized (you probably know) because the avg. is 5'10. But if he isn't, well, different story. You know that men start growing a little later after women do, so sometimes they are shorter then the girls. The average age for a man to STOP growing is 21 (from experience). If your brother started growing early, well it's possible he is going to stop growing at 18. If your brother starting growing late, it could be as late as 25!
Hope I helped!

There is a certain age at which most people usually stop growing: men - 25, women - 21. It occurs shortly after puberty. However, these numbers can be changed! It is possible to continue growing until 25 for women and 27-30 for men. Certain exercises, physical activities, right diet, and other things which are important for human body's growth make growing taller possible even for those individuals who thought they reached the age when their growth has stopped.
An average person, no matter what height he or she is, has a potential to be 2 - 4 inches taller, and often - even more! Then why are most people shorter than they could be? Simply because they don't do everything to get the most out of their potentials and do not know how. That is why I have developed the program designed to get the most out of growth potentials for those who are not satisfied with their height.
There are many reasons for our lack of growth, but the most important one is the limited and unbalanced level of growth hormones in our body. It is growth hormones that grow the cells, bones, muscles, and organs of our bodies. Growth hormone is a protein produced particularly by the pituitary gland. Proteins are made of building blocks known as amino acids. Located in the center of our brain, the pituitary gland is often called the master gland because it controls the release of many of the body's hormones.

It is possible that Men can grow until about 20. Personally, I stopped growing when I was about 17. Alot has to do with genetics. You might want to look at your fathers growth history and how tall he is. Did he grow in his later teen years? My guess is that he will be about the same height as your father give or take a couple of inches.

i'm also 6 months and that i comprehend how a lot you want to bypass out and do issues along with your human beings. you may consistently invite your boyfriend or friends over for a movie evening! You all can bypass to Hollywood or Blockbuster and %. up some new releases. or merely bypass to the action picture theatre. bypass to the mall and do slightly buying at evening for you and your toddler and afterwards bypass to a eating position! by the time you go away you'd be drained and chuffed you've been able to do something interesting! i'm not particular the position you stay yet you may consistently bypass to places like Frankie's or adventure landing and merely have a superb time taking area in video games and prevailing prizes like you probably did once you've been youthful! yet merely get imaginitive and characteristic interesting! wish this allows and ideal needs...

5"6 is not a bad hieght for his age. It depends on genes as well. He may grow few inches or may stop. external factors like diet and sports also make a difference. even if he stops growing he'd be perfectly fine. 5"6 is a good height.

There is really no set age. His body will stop growing when it gets where it needs to be. my ex brother in law was 5feet 6in or so until he was about 19 or so and then shot up to well over 6 feet
