I have always been fascinated by the idea of older bros seeing their younger siblings grow taller (and perhaps stronger) than them – does this happen often in fact or does the older bro usually stay taller? Any older bros out there had this happen to them and if so, how do/did they feel about seeing the tables turn? Or likewise any taller younger bros out there who have enjoyed outgrowing their once-taller bro?
I have not had this experience with a brother (or sister), but I have seen quite a few once-smaller friends outgrow me and I found this an awkward, almost humiliating, situation to be in …

Im an older bro and my younger bro is bigger. I matured faster than most and was 5' 8" at 14, my bro is 7 years younger and when he hit his 20's he outgrew me both height and size. Im 5' 11" at 35 years old and he is 6' 1" at 28.

The younger boys probably got better nutrition than their older brothers. Maybe it's because their parents were more advanced in parenting skills than they were before. Also, genetics plays a role. Sometimes the younger brother stays shorter than their older brother.

My older brother is 24, he's 5'10. I'm 20(female,) and I'm 5'3. My younger sister is 18, she's 5'11. So, yes, I think you may be on to something...

It happened to me, I'm 21 years old and I'm a bit more than 6 feet tall. My younger brother is 16 and he is alredy my height, if feels weird and somehow humiliating like you said.

I am the younger of three boys and my older bros had a great time introducing me as their "Little Brother" I hated it.

Im 25 and my brother is 18, he outgrew me a few years ago and now he outweighs me about 40 lbs and bout 3 inches. At first it was a little embarrassing but it doesn't bother me anymore I just joke about it and accept it.
