Hello there The body continues to grow till the age of 18 years and in some cases upto 21 years.... so you still have 3 more years to grow. Also keep in mind that height of the person depends upon the genetic make up as well....also there are various racial,ethnic varients to it. Certain exercises along with nutritious diet may help in stimulating the epiphysial end of bone which may aid in height growth. Do get back if you have any queries and keep away from sham medicines and suppliments for the same. Regards
