Hello..., your height depends on average height of your parents.. Once maturation occurs growing end of bones fuses and one cannot grow further after that age...so growth cessate usually at the age of 18.you must learn to live with fact. You still have time. Don't try medication for growth they won't work. Cycling, swimming, skipping, stretching exercise may help you.. Do it in the early morning.. Have protenaceous food items...

There is very little that you can do to gain height. Sports and exercises are the best methods. Consult endocrinologist to rule out any other cause. Your height is a lot dependant on the height of your parents too.
