Height and my family. Me being small

Question

I'm 4'11 and just want to know if anyone would consider me small? My brother is 6'5, Dad 5'10, and Mom about 5'10. Any reason I'm small and they are bigger than me?

No stupid or rude answers!

Answer 1

Plenty of protein (meat), calcium (milk) and zinc (red meat, oysters, mussels and nuts) will help your destined normal growth and a deficiency can stunt it.

Girls usually stop growing at 15  so if you are 15 plus then you have probably reached your peak height already.

Sometimes a malfunctioning pituitary gland releases insufficient HGH and that can stunt a person's growth.  This defect is very uncommon but sometimes midgets and dwarfs who are about 4'6 or shorter have this problem.

Answer 2

well depends on your age, if your still young you are still growing! If you think you have stopped growing then maybe you got your genes from a different family member such as a grandparent or aunt?
