Sounds like you still have some growing to do. I'm a girl and I didn't reach my full height until I was about 22 (I was 5'9" when I graduated high school but eventually topped out at 6'0"). My brother grew about four inches after high school (to 6'4"). Both of us were what you'd call "late bloomers"...my brother didn't have much facial or body hair in high school but could grow a full beard and had a chest full of hair by the time he graduated college. If your older brothers (and your father) have a lot more facial/body hair than you have, that's a good sign...and if your mom's male relatives also have a lot of facial hair, that's an even better indicator that you haven't finished maturing yet.

How old are your brothers? When did they stop growing? You may still have a little more growing to do... you're only 18. But, if you don't, what's the big deal? I'm almost 5'7" and my husband is 5'9". It doesn't matter how tall you are. If you are concerned about appearances, get over it... if someone only cares for you if you are tall enough then do you REALLY want to be in a relationship with them anyway? If you want to be a professional basketball player, then you might need to check with the medical community about some hormone injections or something, though... ha ha.

Unless you have already done it you could try a Yahoo search for "growing taller" but please don't believe all the posted information as miraculous claims are likely to be fictitious fabrications.
