Genetics are about more than just your parents. Genes go back several generations. Sometimes recessive genes from your family's past can show up. Also, there are diseases and disorders that are not necessarily genetic which might cause things to be different.

your final height is dependent on nutrition and genetics.As you say your development is normal so hormonal deficiencies are excluded.
Nutritionally you have had an adequate diet.
that only leaves genetics-your ultimate height is determined by your genetic back ground. this has resulted in your final height.I use the word final because as your growth plates are fused you will not get any taller. many famous people have been very short. and used it as a spur to success-although you are shorter than other members of your family you are in fact on the 50%.centile for your age group. I am the short one compared to my sons who are 6-2 6-3 and 6-.4

Following are things affect on you
1.) Sleep: We produce most of our Human Growth Hormone(HGH) at night. From 10P.M to midnight
2.) Exercise: stimulate production of HGH
3.) Stress: pressure reduce production a high amount of HGH
You are 5'9 that is so nice already. I'm 18 now only 5'5.... And skinny... Ppl always guess I'm younger bro. My bro is 2 yr younger then.

That's the luck of the draw man. Sorry, it's most likely a recessive gene, or it could be that you had bad nutrition. Did you have a lot of caffine when you were little? That stunts growth.

Perhaps you might be interested in a Yahoo search for "grow taller" but please don't believe all the posted information as miraculous claims are likely to be fictitious fabrications.

luck of the draw from genetics .
you could go back to great grandparents and see how tall they were.
your Mom will get shorter when she is much older :)

Also you can buy inserts to put in your shoes if it's bothering you that much. Ask a Podiatrist about that.
