Possibly: You may have more growth possible or may be done growing. An x-ray of your left hand and wrist can be analysed for bone age.If it is like a 14 yo,you could get to 6', if it reads out 16 to 18 you are nearly finished. Balanced nutrition, rest and exercise are the basic needs for you to reach your full height.No special sport or diet.
