do not worry about your height .A normal boy's growth stops at the age of 18–20 but in some exceptional cases boys grow upto 21 years of age.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) can increase height in children. But once your epiphyseal plates (also known as growth plates) close, further height growth is not possible. Your epiphyseal plates can close anytime between the ages of 16 and 21.
