it's just hormones...boys grow in spurts...he'll stop growing for a little while and then grow two or three inches...no he wont stop growing...boys don't...girls do...but his growing will slow down drastically as he gets older...it's hereditary that he's going to be tall...there's nothing wrong with that...but being 5'8" at age 11 his growing process might slow down before other kids in his class will...like he might slow down when he's 16 or 17 when most don't until they're 20 or 21...but it's nothing to worry about...but no he'll never officially stop growing.

it's all about hormones. boys usually hit puberty later than girls and sprout up in a short amount of time, so it is weird that he is already that tall. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, that'd be pretty cool if he was really tall. I suppose it's possible that he could have some hormonal defect, but i'm sure a doctor would notice that, given his height. He'll be taller than all his friends for a few years, but so what?
A guy i know is 6'5" and he started growing around twelve, so your brother will probably be pretty tall, but you'll have to just wait and see!
