not being mean but.....
you sound like a nice kid........
you will grow taller if it is ment to be......
you will not grow taller if it was not ment to be.......
you don't always get what you want....
you could wear inserts in your shoes and gain a inch.....a higher sole on you shoe before the insert.....another inch......
other then that, your stuck with who you are.
but i would say between 16 and eighteen you will grow some more.
my kids grew from 12 to 14......stopped.....then about 17 to 19 out grew me!!
could be the same for you.......but you are as tall as you want to be in your own mind.....and that is what people see's.

All people grow differently, and that's just how it is. Your brother maybe taller, but he may not grow anymore. You may or may not grow anymore.

Wait until you're done growing to go crazy about your height :)

At most you have 2 years of potential growth, but it's doubtful you'll grow any taller. You're lucky you grew as tall as you did, with parents who are so short. Not trying to get you down, but it's not likely you'll grow that extra 3 inches, if you haven't by now, so concentrate on making every inch of you the best you can be.

chances are you wont grow.

Most men have another growth spurt around 20-22, but everyone is different so no guarantees sorry.

I think you will keep growing, my husband was 5ft 4 at 16 then he left school, by the time he was 18 he was 5ft 10, he also had no armpit hairs etc..... all of that came aswell, dont stress about it I am sure you will grow a bit more, you dont stop growing properly until you are 21.

okay yea u probably will because men don't stop growing till 21 and women till 18 so just wait of u might not i had a growth spurge about the same age like 12 and den it slowed down and it would take a whole year to a grow another inch after that I'm 16 by the way

5' 6'' is a perfectly good height. you need to be happy with yourself. good for you for losing that weight! it depends on how old you are, but normally people stop growing when they are 16 to 18 yrs. old. I have always been really tall for my age, but i haven't grown at all in the past six months. it all depends genetics really. your already taller than both your parents. that's all you can really hope for. just be happy with yourself.

Well, you'll have to hear the brutal truth sometime or other, and if you know before it's passed, you can brace yourself, and if things defy expectations, well you'll be surprised. Here goes though. Don't bank on growing much more during puberty. You may grow a whole inch in the next few years, but by this point, you are all but done with growing. Even if you body hair hasn't all come in, that merely could be the last thing that grows as you end puberty, as the growth process don't happen in all guys at a set time or order. I'm not meaning to hurt your feelings, but you have to accept the fact that you will most probably remain around 5"7', though that's average height so that's nothing to be concerned about.

eat food that has iron minerals in them with 2 cups of water every 2 hours and take a 3 hours sleep twice a day. You will start growing .01" per year till you're 30years old.

just don't worry u will definately grow up.boy's growth lasts uptill the age of 20.u continue ur exercise,high jumps etc.and eat nutritive food.good luck.

Guys still grow untill there early 20s, so you still have more time. you may have another spurt later But really, 5' 6" isnt bad. There are plenty of men that are this height and plenty that are shorter. And That means plenty of Women are shorter than you too! Your height actually is tall for your family.
