Why is my younger bro shorter than me ?

Question

Will he grow taller...

iam 5'9-19 ..my father is 5'9 ...mom is 5'0.. and my bro is 5'5 -16 years old

Answer 1

Dont be too sure yet....He might grow for another 2 years if he is active enough.

Wait till he is 18 before you pass the verdict.

Answer 2

Different genes

who knows he might still grow an inch or two

Answer 3

Your brother is still growing he might surprise you and shoot up even taller then you are. Your mom is short and so if he does not grow as tall as you it is because of your mothers height. I think your brother is going to get just as tall as you are right now or maybe even taller.  

Answer 4

because hes younger!!

but im taller than my older sisters

Answer 5

r u sure he is your real brother ? or from same dad ? just a guess since u asked.

Answer 6

buti doubt it... short mom short dad short siblings... hes doomed to be short

Answer 7

Answer 8

because maybe he isnt done growing yet

P.S. beetroot you idiot, he is 16 usually guys are done growing by then

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

yes my sister is 5'6 and shes 16 too and i am 5'10-15 and i think her she is already good enough for the height if he is 16 he will still grow taller cause in the average of 18 it will start to stop growing his height

Answer 12

genetics

Answer 13

Answer 14
