Nope, you're pretty much going to have to accept the fact that you're going to be a dwarf, just like the rest of 'em.

I suggest eating primarily nutrient dense foods.
The human body depends on foods for growth so the closer you can get to providing your body with essential nutrieints while eliminating non-essentials the greater your chances of reaching your maximum body size. Chances are you can grow to atleast 5'10" like your brother. I am 26 years old and I haven't stopped growing. I slowed down about 7 years ago but since I changed my diet I have been growing slowly but steadily.

Most males grow until the age of 22 or so, however, the major growth spurt is over, I'm afraid. It's highly unlikely that you'd grow to be as tall as either of your brothers, but you may add a fraction of an inch, or so.

I think I'd see the dr. to see if there's anything you can do, like growth hormones, to get a little taller. Otherwise you're going to have problems finding clothes that fit, and shoes. You need at least 4-5 inches.

It is possible that you could continue to grow. The growth plates in an average male don't fuse until your early twenties.

girly answers....psh... yes you will keep growing but you aint gonna be no basketball player. its not a good help that your parents are of the smaller size ( i felt so much like saying: it doesent help that ur parents are hobbits ) but guys grow for a while, i believe into 20's but i think it stops at like 25
EDIT: by the way, i had a friend who was really small and he was older than me (he was like a foot shorter and he is like a year older) but they gave him growth hormones so he got taller :D
