No this doesn't mean you have stopped going through puberty. Every person grows at their own speed. Even if he grew 10m higher you could still catch up to him. (I'm not saying that it is possible to grow 10m) You will catch up with him and then he will shoot up again, then you'll grow, and so on. But you might what to read up on puberty a little, there are man sites.
dont worry, he migh have just had a fast growth spurt, and your will take more time, eventually, you'll both catch up to eachother
different people grow at different rates. age, though somewhat a factor, has nothing to do with it. It's all genetics. You'll find that you guys will go through puberty in different stages, too. So, don't sweat it. It's just how it is.
why is it that 12 and 13 year old boys think that they have a problem when they arent as tall as someone else or their penis hasnt grown much, you are 12, you are growing, you are not like anyone else so dont try to compare
