It's called genes. Sorry.
I wish I was taller too, I'm only 5'9, but I did stop getting taller when I was 15 and I am about an inch taller than my dad

if it's any consolation you still have about 4 more years of growing to do. And very possible to have another growth spurt in the next 2 years. Though I doubt it will be as tall as you might want to be. It's time you start accepting your size not as a disability but as character trait. It is a part of who you are.

Everyone stops growing at some point in their life. You're body must've stopped early. It really doesn't matter though. Coming from someone who's under 5 feet, I don't think you should complain.

growth is heredithary. You stop growing after you reach your 18 birthday. So if you 5.6 that' what you stay at. Or you could wear platform shoes. By the way, 5.6 is not that short.

It seems to be genetics, pure and simple. It's in your DNA.
Some people reach their full height early and some don't.
