How can we tell you why you don't like something? Of course it's normal, although you should really let it go...Sure it may be annoying, but just let it slide...what's the big deal with height anyway? And 2 inches? Don't worry man :P

Everybody has different heights and grows differently. It's apart of life. It sounds like you're jealous he's taller than you, which is a really stupid reason to be jealous of someone.

If it makes you feel better any you have plenty of time to grow but still I think it's stupid to be stressed or jealous your friend is taller than you. Just be happy with whatever you want to grow into and just get over it.

Unless he intimidates you its really not a problem...

because your friend has something you don't (yet): 2 inches in height. And given your nick, it would seem you're a pretty competitive guy, so this difference might bother you! Listen, we're all different, sometimes you'll meet peeps that have something you don't, and sometimes you'll have stuff they don't. you might try to remember that what you see isn;t always as important as the stuff you cannot. The stuff inside.
If you and your friend have been good buds for a while, you might try to stay focused on that, that's what's important, that's what's always been there,instead of couple of inches in height.
