Growth: You are probably near the end of your adolescent growth spurt. Ask your doctor to take an x-ray of your left wrist to determine your bone age to see if you have any growth left

Unlikely to happen: At seventeen your growth centers have likely closed and you are unlikely to grow taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist/ hand can be analysed for bone maturity & tell if the growth centers remain open to new growth.Good nutrition, rest and exercise allow a person to reach their tallest height while the opposite will stunt growth.
