It really depends if you're a girl or a guy... If you're a girl, most likely not as they finish growing in their late teens(16 and onwards)... but if you're a guy, it's quite possible as guys keep on growing way into their early twenties. Advice: Eat loads of calcium rich foods and drink, healthy food and vegetables, get adequate sleep and definitely exercise. Vitamin supplements should also benefit you greatly and will definitely help you to reach your maximum potential growth. (Remember, our height is determined from our genes. So, in all reality, we can't make ourselves grow 'taller' as such but we can definitely prevent ourselves from reaching our full maximum growth if we don't do what I mentioned above like getting enough sleep) If you were really, really concerned about your height, you could see the doctor and ask her/him to check your growth plates in your legs. Growth plates are a good indication of how much more you can grow....so if they are fully developed, then it's very, very, very unlikely that you would grow any taller. I believe that they can be identified in x-ray's if I'm not mistaken. Hope this is helpful :)

Possibly. I was about 5"4 until about the age of 16. I am currently 17 and turning 18 in April and last I measured I was 182cm tall a hair short of 6"0. One of my friends was about 5"7 at 19, he joined the army and started eating better and has shot up to 6"2 over the past year. Height is mostly genetic but diet and exercise do have the potential to help a lot in my experience.
