I’m a guy btw and if it helps I still could barley grow facial hair, only a mustache and armpit hair didn’t fully grow out till I was 16 and 1/2 so I just think that’s odd

Take a deep breath - You are right near the average height for men it the US, which is somewhere between 5'8" and 5'9". That said, young men often gain another inch in height before age 20, especially if they were "slow starters" at puberty this happened with two of my brothers and my son-in-law.

Are you concerned for a particular reason, or would you just like to be as tall as your Dad?
