I am about 5'5 freakishly green eyes, strawberry blonde hair, skinny and 17 years old (by far the smallest in the family), my younger brother is 15 years old, he is 6'4, black hair and blue eyes (like everyone else in my family). My younger brother takes advantage of my size, the fact that i am the only one in the family with my characteristics and dominates me. I have tried being telling him off, talked to the parents, but he still dominates me. I will have friends over and he will embarass me just standing next to me and looking down. I am at wits end with him, any suggestions?

first of all your green eyes sound beautiful to me. dont let your brother know his words hurt you because thats what he wants. give him a taste of his own medicine. make a big show of straining your neck to look up at him. refer to him as the jolly green giant. just kidding but really if he thinks his actions dont bother you you will be taking the fun out of his annoying behavior.

You sound cute, don't let him bother you. My brothers are 6' and 6'2 (i'm 5'4) and unlike me are handsome and are popular with people. (People seem to gravitate to them) I am the smallest person in my family and the 'odd' one. Yeah they tease me but you can't let it get to you. Play up your good points and his bad XD jk jk but really the only person letting him 'own' you is YOU!
You know even if you were 6'4 and looked like everyone in your family, he'd STILL tease you because that's what brothers do. ^_^

sucks to be you lol.
not much you can do besides know that soon you will be done with high school and you can move on and leave him behind.
I don't know what kind of relationship you have with your brother, but you should look for ways that his size can work with you, not against you.
All you can do is just be you, your brother will take pleasure in outsizing you now, but as you get older he will need you for things.
car
beer
girls
place to crash
etc.
just wait, things will even out in the end.

your brother doesn't own you nor can he dominate you at all.ask him in front of your friends,are you married to me and see what he says.he could very well change his tune and leave you and your friends alone from now on.

Learn to grow a thicker skin, stand up for yourself and stop letting yourself be walked on. Don't let him know that he's pissing you off, he feeds off that.

how about instead of letting know he's emmbarassing you and making you mad just go along with him he only continues to do it because he knows it makes you mad. don't let him get under your skin, don't you whach t.v. at all?
