im 5'11 and so is my friend, he may a little taller
but i have a tall family so i expect to be tall(mom 5'10, dad is 6')
and he has a very short family but he is the only tall one including a short twin sister. i was wondering why this is and if it will affect our final adult hieghts we are 16 almost 17, like if i will be taller or if its just a guess on who will be we both havent grown in a while also

Your mate might have a tall relative that he could have inherited a gene from. A mate of mine has a son that is well over 6 feet tall and is only 14 years old. My mate is barely 5'8'' and so is his wife. It is not uncommon for a smaller couple to have tall children. That is the case with a lot of the people in my family.

Well I would like to let you know that the same thing applies to our family on my father's side only my fater and one male sibling came out short while my fathers both gender sibling came out tall, I think it may be genectic from previous generations.
