“Long arms but short legs?”
I’m 5’5 (Male) 16 years old and my arms are extremely long compared to my legs. I really want to grow to at least 6’0 by the time I’m 17-18. I was wondering since my arms are so long does it mean I’m supposed to be tall?

Your adult height can be predicted by what is called the mid-parental height formula. You would take your mom's height and add 5 inches. Add your dad's height to that number. Divide the total by 2. That will predict your adult height plus or minus 2 inches.
