Well...: At the age of 17 you can bet there is a chance of growing. Most males can grow until their early 20's.

Well : At your age there is a possibility you may continue to grow but I do not know your level OB pubertal stage as testosterone closes growth plates. Be happy you have already beaten odds as height is usually between mother and father
