At your age, tour height may increase by a small amount. You have not mentioned how tall.you are, how tall your parents are and how tall tour siblings are. These factors will help determine any possibility of growth. Apart from genetics, a good diet and exercise are important for growth. These will have to be there right from a very young age to gain an advantage. Continue to exercise and have a good, healthy and balanced diet. There may be some increase in height over the next year or two. Please do not take and medications, supplements, hormones or steroids. These DO NOT HELP. THEY CAUSE HARM. Hope this helps.
