The reason being is that there are some of my friends that are quite tall and I get a bit intimiated and envy that. What do you reckon, will I get another growth spurt or something?

 Hey sweetness,
I wouldn't give up hope yet. You're not done growing and it's quite possible that you'll spring up another couple of inches. I don't want to give you false hope, but my ex boyfriend, when he was 16 he was a little on the short side (for a guy, at least). About 5'7... then he surprised us all in his first year in college by sprouting up to be 6'1!!!
Now that's pretty crazy and probably pretty rare. But, it can happen... maybe you're a late bloomer.
However, 5'10 is really pretty tall. Personally, I don't like my men too much taller than me - for me, five ten is the PERFECT height for a man.
Don't let this get to you too much.

 You have probably got another couple of years of growing to do yet. But 5,10 is nothing to be ashamed of, its not short by any means.
Good luck

 Yep men usually grow until 21 so you do have time to grow. Anyway 5 10 is average height for men i believe. Its taller than me and i like being shorter than others.

 You may still have a groeth spurt but then you may not. I wouldn't worry about people being taller than you. 5ft 10 isn't exactly short.

 Your peak height is usually reached between the ages of 19 and 21 so there is a very good chance you still have some growing to do yet.
Take care.xx.
