Hard to say: Both parents have an equal input into your height potential.The final height,timing & duration of puberty is genetic & the parents provide the genes. Puberty is also a transition period, so you could start at 12 and finish at 15 or 19 with a different in final height. You have what you were endowed with.Accept it & move on with your life.You could have been a lot shorter.
