The height thing has no easy answer, because typically, females complete their development a lot younger than males. A 16 year old female is basically done growing, whereas a 16 year old male is barely getting started and could continue growing until he's in his mid 20s. One guy I knew was shorter than me when he was 20, and by the time he was 25, towered over me by several inches. But that also is different in different ancestral groups, so there's no way any of that can be represented realistically in the game.
As for cliques, I too am glad the game doesn't force stereotypes on teens, and anyone can use Clubs in Get Together to satisfy a desire for cliques...in fact the game comes built-in clubs that are essentially cliques and you can even make your own.
If you get Parenthood, you'll have the thing you seek, in that parental influence has in-game effects. Fear that it would be automatically forced on my game by the pack, prevented me from buying it for a long time, but once I was assured that I wouldn't HAVE to enforce a curfew, or micromanage or helicopter kids or teens in my game, I went ahead and got it and it added a lot of flavor. My one beef is, the random pop-up "opportunities" to affect a teen's or kid's character values by being asked for advice on this or that, and no matter how you advise them, they increase in one character development area, and lose ground in another, and none of it makes any sense to me at all, so I find it very annoying.
But yes, getting Parenthood can give you the Family Bulletin Board, and all kinds of opportunities to wield parental influence to your heart's content, and put up with all kinds of awful phases and moodiness if it's the flavor you savor.

I would want teens to be more affected by their parents. If their parent is mean to them, they might be mean to everyone else. If they are constantly getting praise about how great they are, they might be more self absorbed. If their parent are an athlete they might follow in their footsteps. Stuff like that, would just make the game so much fun!
