You'll catch up buddy, no need to worry--- when I was your age I stood at about 5'1-5'3, the exact measurement are sketchy now, and while I'm not tall now at 19 I stand at 5'7 (with some extra on the end)
However to a full idea of how tall you'll be you need to look at the full set of genetics, mum, dad, even your grandparents and great grandparents play a hand in this!.
But considering that you still have a lot to grow since you will probably grow till 18-21 years of age, you will probably grow just as tall as your friends and dad by that age!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course that you'll grow taller for sure!. Especially since you're just 14!.
By the time you're done growing at about age 18-21, you're expected to be about 3-5 inches taller than your dad & about 10lbs heavier than your dad!.
So don't worry about it!. You'll grow taller for sure!. You might even out-grow some of your friends that are taller than you right now!.
So by the time you're 21 you might even be taller than some of your friends that are like a head taller than you right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have plenty of time!. Everyone's on a different schedule with their growth, and unfortunately, that means someone has to start and finish later than others!. You've already started puberty, but you still have another 6-7 years for potential growth!. There's no reason to think you are finished or that you won't reach your father's height!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry just yet - you may be due for another growth spurt!. You may end up as tall as, or even taller than, your dad and you friends, so dont fret too much about it just yet!. You'll probably continue to grow until the age of around 21, so there's plenty of time to catch up!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
There is a good chance that you wil reach your dad's height because of genetics!.
You can stop growing until the age of 21, so you still have time to grow!. Dont worry - you will gain your height soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're not finished growing!. I grew 3 inches while in college!. Don't worry about it!. Keep in mind, though, that height doesn't make the man; honor and integrity are the most important qualities! Peace!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
