Need more info: We'd really need more information to answer this question. Your current rate of growth and a look at your growth over time can help us estimate as well. Late bloomers can grow into their very late teens, definitely!

Unlikely to happen: Some kids (late bloomers) continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist/ hand can yield a bone maturity. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.If not, healthy nutrition,rest and exercise maximise growth
