Now I am built or stocky or whatever other word you may think of but I am 5'6 and a half. My dad is 6'9 and my mom is 5'8. I am 17 and I doubt I will be growing anymore. I doesn't make sense. I should be inbetween my parents or atleast one of them.

Hmm Idk why its like that....I'm kind of the opposite...my mum is like 5ft7, I'm almost 5ft9 (I'm a girl) and my dad is only 5ft10-11ish I think.

Haha.
Don't worry, I'm 5 foot 0.

It's some recession thing. The highest you'll get would be your mom's height. Unless you have really fantastic genes.

you have faulty gennetics

Doesn't quite work like that.  It's a multi-allelic system.

I'm also your height and I'm 19.  I feel the same as when I was 17 though.

You're only 17, I'm guessing you're a male... you still have time to grow.
