Unless you entered: Puberty really late, then you have gone through all of your growth spurts. Take care.

Maybe...: You may still add some height as all of your growth plates are not closed until closer to 20, but don't expect to hit 6ft. It is unlikely.

Platform shoes: Growth centers in long bones determine how tall you can grow.Most growth centers will close at 16-19 years in males. After that happens, you are done. If your growth centers are open, a balanced diet/rest ; healthy physical activity will support good growth.Their are no special diet,meds or exercises that make you taller after growth centers close..
