My mom is 5'2 and my dad is 5'6. I'm 17 and I'm going to turn 18 this year.. but I'm only 5'4 and which is too short for my age. My height is still the same for the past 2-3 years. My younger brother is only 14 and he's taller than me. he's 5'5. And my sister, she's 15 and she's almost the same height as me. Is there something wrong with me? Is there any possibility that I can still grow taller?

Just make sure you're eating healthily, getting plenty of vitamins and minerals, and sleeping enough (8 hours a night is what a teen needs). It won't guarantee that you'll grow taller, but it will ensure you'll grow as much as you're meant to, as poor nutrition, lack of vitamins and minerals, and lack of sleep can stunt growth.

Well you need to eat healthy and exercise. I don't find anything wrong with your height. I mean in my family I'm the tallest one in the girls I'm 5' 8" and I'm just 15 turning 16. But in the boys my little brother who is 12 is like 5' 2" and he is going to keep growing up. Don't worry about your height if God created you like that you gotta live with it. Sometimes I wish i was taller but there's nothing that i can do about it. Well I hope it helps!! Good luck!

Dont worry! lol ur a boy and boys still grow till their early twenties so u have nothing to worry about, ur final height could probably be at least 5ft 9-5ft 10. i dont think theres much chance of you reaching past 6 ft.

Don't worry about it kid. I was in your situation when I was 17. I was too small for my age bracket. Before my 18th birthday I grew 4 inches. I am 5'10. I was 5'6

Try wearing high heels, that might do the trick.
