Answers:

I'm a girl and also have a twin brother :) our dad is 6 foot 4 while our mom is only 5 foot 2. When we were 16 i think i might've been around 5 foot 4 while my twin bro was already 5 foot 11-6feet tall. We do have other siblings, but non that have the same mom and dad. Our older step sister usually grew to be 5 foot 5 (same mom, her dad i would guess is 5 foot 7)
But no, being a twin doesn't slow your growth



I know many twin brothers ; and NO ; there not short or tall because they are twin Each person grow at a different rate and at 15 yrs ; you have lots of growth to do ; so do not worry ; you would be tall



I have a twin sister and it seems that people around me like classmates that are the same age grow faster than me... I.e. They have more facial hair... But I'd say it's just genetic.
