Growth disorder?.................................?

Im 19, 110 lb, 5'7, 11 1/2 shoe size, and male. I have been 110 lb, and have gained one inch of height over the past 4 years. My face/body has stayed the same, and i really can't take it anymore. I look REALLY young, my face makes me look 14. All the males on both sides of my family are at the very least 6' and over average weightwise. I've been to my family doctor and he did a bloodtest and said everything was ok. I've ditched all my friends, and dropped out of college due to the mental stress. Could it be some sort of growth disorder?...

1. You need to get a grip; your height is fine. And so what if you look younger than you are? That's a good thing. Neither is worth ditching friends and dropping out of school. Remember, it's a big gene pool out there. Sometime, somewhere, someone was around your height. You've picked up those genes. Other possibility: your mom had a fling. Hey, it happens. Get over your self pity. Looks are fleeting, anyway.
