Im 6'3 since my 14. birthday...
Boys are more likely to grow tall if the DNA has the right informations, most times before they have their 16. Birthday... girls not (not all), bc their dna pointing to other regions on their body...
Look, even if you are one-egged twins, with exact the same dna. The body of your brother will grow taller, get space for muscles and a beard will start grow (most of it is controlled by hormones), but your body will grow boobs and the hormones start the period to prepare for maturity (able to get pregnant)
A guy dont need that, bc he can't get pregnant, so his genes uses the same informations to grow opposite...
But its not a big deal, your body height decisive because you're not a boy ;)
Haha, that's the cutest thing I read today.
You're already as tall as the average height of women in the world, which is 160 cm of height.
Don't worry, you will continue to grow as you're still very young.
The average height of men is 173 cm, and your brother hasn't reached that yet, so comparatively you're still taller than your brother.
Men are naturally taller than women, but a man who's 180cm is relatively shorter than a woman who's 172 cm, because this woman's corresponding height to men is 186 cm, so she's relatively taller yes.
U understand?
Boys unfortunately grow faster then us girls. They start growing faster when they turn 12. You're 14 right? Don't worry there's plenty of time for you to grow. People stop growing around the age of 20. And also why care what other people think? Besides being short is cute. Unless you plan on becoming a model or something. Anyways I wish you luck and hope you get the height you want. ^^
Boys generally become taller than girls, it's not an unusual situation even at his age.

Well he younger than you but he is also a male, and males are expected to be taller.

In most cases, not all, the males grow taller than the females and the same happened with me and my sister-
When she was 16 and I was 14, I was on par with her height
When she got to 17 and I got to 15, I was just, JUST taller than her
When she got to 18 and I got to my 16, I was much taller
Now that she is 20 and I am 18, I continue to be taller.
It's just a matter of genes and hormones :)
Males grow at different times and rates than females. He was likely smaller than girls his age until his preteen growth spurt hit. Men are also generally taller than women.
Odds are he will always be taller than you now.
Girls bodies mature faster than boys but boys catch up eventually, some earlier than others unfortunately in your case... but hey he can protect you now!!
He's starting into puberty which usually means a growth spurt
It's normal, that happened to me too with my brother!
That's what my whole family from all sides ask, my father's 1.95 so I've got some genes (hopefully I don't become that high) and I'm 1.80
I think boys grow faster than girls.
Hormones kicking in.
That’s how genetics work...
