   I think it’s rude to be culturally considered short at 5’8"! Your brother has a different genetic make up from you. He may have inherited genes from a grandparent (or even further back) that your parents and you don’t express.

   you will learn the answer in your high school biology classroom. if you can’t wait for highschool then look up the word "Alleles".

   * ADVICE FOR HEIGHT

   Good intake of calcium daily as found in various foodstuffs like tonned milk, banana, ragi, nachni, yogurt, my favourite nachos with cheese..
   a best way i cud advice is to have milk shakes(chocolate, coffee flavoure) 2-3 times a day as an replacement for tea, coffee is a good alternative…

   Good sleep aftr exercises helps ur bones to relax and expand.. Atlest 8hrs good sleep at night…
   Remember food without exercises or exercises without food wont help you much.
   Also there are genetics n familial relationships related to height.. i.e if either ur parents are short heighted or either ur brother , sister.. than there are little chances for increase in height…BUT keep a positive attitude follow the daily regimen of food n exercises.If you goin to gym regularly, i wud advice not to perform any weight lifting exercises… stritctly NO..

   Herbal Solutions:
   Being a medical student myself, the best advice i wud like to give is " herbal remedies"

   These herbal growth remedies are found to be the permanent cure of short height. The herbal product can be bought from http://www.howtogrowtallerfast.net

   The herbal product have a certain procedure for treating the short height. The herbs correct the chemical as well as hormonal imbalances which is the actual cause of the short height. These imbalances lead to the persistent short height and posture. The best thing about the herbal cure is that it is effective even after puberty.

   i hope i have given the best advice to u… Hoping u mark this as best answer in the options given… take care frnd
   Share the knowledge to othrs too if possible…

   The difference may be caused by the lifestyle,what you eat , what exercise you do and many more things.Do you know that many twins have 2-3 inch difference in height?This implies that gene is not the only factor.

   If you want to grow to as tall as your brother, I suggest you do some stretching exercises.Check my source these exercises help you grow your spine and legs.
