My 10 and 11 year old step brothers are already taller than me (18M 4'11)

Hi guys,

As a 4'11 18 year old guy was done growing, obviously I'm short.

But now, my step brothers are 11 and 10, and are 5'3 and 5'5 respectively. Their dad is obviously way taller than my dad and they're still growing. Its likely they'll both me almost a foot and a half taller than me when they're done growing, and it's bad already.

I feel like their little brother as they're both way stronger than me and therefore somewhat dominate me, especially together.

How can I feel less dominated by them and stand my ground more?

Own it.
It's highly unlikely you can change the situation so worrying about it will not make it any easier or better.
Accepting it and finding your own personal benefits from it will help but making it a strong part of you is a step forward.

It’s so disrespectful when your younger siblings are taller than you.

Yikes

You need to be confident in yourself, both with your body and personality. You can assert authority over people no matter how tall you are - or all bosses would be massive! You're an adult, and shouldn't be letting a 10 year old intimidate you, no matter how tall they are. Their physical stature doesn't change the fact that they are children, with little life experience, and no right to boss you around etc. I don't know what your relationship with them is, but I think any trouble you might be having is likely more to do with your own insecurity rather than being anything to do with their actual height directly. Forget them (in this respect, not in general) and focus on how you feel abou yourself.
