Personal height

2018-05-01 10:38:04
I am 5”9 and 19, turning 20 in six months. I have a family consisting of an average height of 6ft/6”1. At 17 I suffered from eating disorders. My question is whether I should still expect growth in height? I have not gained the ability to grow proper facial hair if that means I am still in the bracket of puberty.
