You are into puberty and should start growing now

Some people hit the growth spurt later than others. Kids from high school I remember were short like that and some of them are taller than me now (6'1) I haven grown much since I was 15 or 16.
How do you compare to other males in your family, that may be a running pattern in your family, I would ask them.

I'm guessing you're a freshman in high school? If so, trust me, I'm a senior and I've seen plenty of short guys, but usually by the next year they seem to grow at least half a foot. Don't worry about it; there's not much, if anything, that can do about it, so don't right now. Worry if you're 16. =P You'll end up fine, more than likely bud. =)

you have 7 more yrs to grow...look at your folks and if they're tall, you will be too...looking at your friends will not give you acurate measurements of you...only family can do that.
(my husband is the shortest in his family at 5'5"....my sister is the shortest in my family at 4'9"....)

everyone is different. i know thats not what you want to hear but its true. i knew guys that sprouted very early and some not until after high school. it will happen and most likely it will be sooner than later.
