I have a terrier that's 16" tall. In his mind, he's bigger than all the other dogs. He even thinks the horses are just dogs and his playmates.
It's not how tall the package is, it's how tall you are inside.
No sport will make you taller, though any sport may make you more confident. It's how you carry yourself that matters.

just because your parents are short doesn't indicate that height is not determined by genetics, the height of any person most certainly is determined by genetics. Somewhere in your family history there were some tall people, your grandparents perhaps or great grandparents, those genes get passed along, and they don't always express themselves in every person in the family. Didn't you study this in school? Your height is predetermined, and no sport, no exercise, no diet will make you any taller than you are supposed to be. Grow up, get over it.

Sweetheart, sports do not make you taller. And genetics aren't just your parents, either. You dad could have an Uncle Gus that was 7 feet tall, so yes sweetie it is genetic for the most part. My husband towered over his mom and dad but had uncles and a grandfather that were very big men. Looking at your parents is not enough, look at their parents, Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, etc.
Proper nutrition, exercise and genetics will determine you height.

Actual sports don't make your taller, but your nutrition level and activity level could contribute to your height. Realistically though, even though you don't want to hear it, it is probably your genetics. If your mother and father are short, try looking at your distant relatives. Your mom and dad may have recessive genes that didn't make them tall, but when they are combined they made you and your brother tall.
