How many older brothers see their younger siblings grow taller?

I have always been fascinated by the idea of older bros seeing their younger siblings grow taller (and perhaps stronger) than them – does this happen often in fact or does the older bro usually stay taller? Any older bros out there had this happen to them and if so, how do/did they feel about seeing the tables turn? Or likewise any taller younger bros out there who have enjoyed outgrowing their once-taller bro?

I have not had this experience with a brother (or sister), but I have seen quite a few once-smaller friends outgrow me and I found this an awkward, almost humiliating, situation to be in …
Answer:
My boyfriend is the younger brother in his family. He is at 6'3" right now. His brother is 2 years older than him and is only 5'4" hahaha

It happened to me, I'm 21 years old and I'm a bit more than 6 feet tall. My younger brother is 16 and he is alredy my height, if feels weird and somehow humiliating like you said.

NOT ME

Im an older bro and my younger bro is bigger. I matured faster than most and was 5' 8" at 14, my bro is 7 years younger and when he hit his 20's he outgrew me both height and size. Im 5' 11" at 35 years old and he is 6' 1" at 28.

It's happened to me. I'm the oldest of three kids my folks had, but now I'm the shortest. Oh well, at least I'm taller than my mother. HAHAHAHAHA!!%26gt;:)

Im 25 and my brother is 18, he outgrew me a few years ago and now he outweighs me about 40 lbs and bout 3 inches. At first it was a little embarrassing but it doesn't bother me anymore I just joke about it and accept it.

my bro is a year younger and is about 2" taller than me. it all depends on the gene mix you get

Genetics and Height

Question:
My son is 16 and about 5 feet, 7 inches tall. He keeps asking if there's anything he can do to become taller.

Answer:
Taking care of himself — eating well, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of rest — is the best way to help his body reach its natural potential. But assuming his diet is normal and he has no medical problems, there's no magic pill or formula or nutritional supplement for increasing height. In fact, his genes are the major determinant of how tall he'll be.

Most teens can expect to grow a total of about 7 to 10 inches during puberty before they reach full adult height. Each person is a little different, so everyone starts and goes through puberty on his or her body's own schedule. Those who start a little later than their friends will usually continue to grow a little later, too.

If you're concerned about your son's growth, talk with his doctor

The Tall Girl - Doctor's Response

Height is one of the many characteristics that is largely inherited from your parents. Therefore, if you are tall, perhaps it is because you have tall parents. There is no way for you to stunt your growth. However, maybe you will not always be the tallest in your class. Girls tend to grow before boys and therefore are sometimes taller than boys at this age. But the boys will hit their growth spurt soon and when they do, many of them grow taller than the girls. Even some of the girls you are taller than right now will grow more than you and become taller than you at a later age. Everyone grows at different times and different rates. Variations in height are absolutely normal amongst humans.

The Short Boy - Doctor's Response

Height is one of the many characteristics that is largely inherited from your parents. Therefore, if you are short, perhaps it is because you have short parents. There is no way for you to increase your height. However, maybe you will not always be the shortest fellow in your class. Girls tend to grow before boys and therefore are sometimes taller than boys at this age. As for boys, they hit their growth spurt between the ages of 12 and 17 and many of them grow taller than the girls. Some of the boys who are taller than you now may actually be shorter than you at a later age. Everyone grows at different times and different rates. Variations in height are absolutely normal amongst humans.

NO WAY TO GROW TALLER AFTER PUBERTY
Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
Web sites for products such as "HeightGrowth" are so unbelievable that the people who wrote them must be laughing as they steal people's money for totally worthless products.
They tell you that if you take HeightGrowth, you will continue to grow until you are as tall as you like, at any age. If that were true, we would see people who are 15 feet tall and basketball would be an entirely different sport.
Bones do not grow throughout their length. They grow from growth centers, called the epiphysis, near their ends. When a person reaches puberty, growth centers close one after the other until all the growth centers are closed forever and a person's bones can never grow again. After that, a person can grow wider, but not taller.
Even before a person reaches puberty, the product will have absolutely no effect on growth. The ad claims that HeightGrowth is made of a special mixture of herbs and minerals, and lists 23 plants, many of them vigorous vines such as kudzu, which grows so rapidly that it covers trees and buildings all over the South, and can cross a road overnight. So when you eat kudzu vine and other rampant-growing plants, they want you to believe that you will grow like the vines. Of course this is ridiculous. Kudzu vine grows rapidly because of its genetic structure called DNA. But you cannot absorb DNA from plants or animals that you eat; it is broken down in your stomach and intestines into its nucleic acid building blocks, which have no effect on your own DNA.
The tragedy is that some people will shell out their hard earned money to someone who is making fun of them. They have a 30-day money-back guarantee, even though they recommend that you take their product for six months or more to see results. They know you will probably be too embarrassed to ask for your money back, and people who have tried to get action on similar guarantees report that their money is never returned from these scams.
