Also my Dad is 5'8 an mom is 4' 11 is it my mother fault that I'm short because I kind of hate her becuase of it. Also they say that women perfer taller men:(

Answer 1

Your genes do determine your max height, but it's not just your parents but grandparents that have an effect on that also. Two short people can produce a child that is taller than either of them.

You should continue growing until around age 18, so you aren't done yet, but you probably won't gain a whole lot of height. There is no reason to hate your mother, that's silly. She has zero control over her own height and and couldn't choose for you to be taller. She couldn't decide to only have babies if they were going to be tall.

Work with what you've got. Plenty of women are okay with men who aren't very tall..if you have confidence and a good personality, you'll go a lot farther than carrying around bitterness about your height, which you cannot control.

Good luck!
