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?

Well I’m from California and I just feel like everyone is taller than me, all my friends are 6ft and the same age as me. And height inflation is crazy now, every girl wants a guy over 5’11.
