I am very sad about my height it is only 169 cm i hope i grow taller more i am 17 yers old ..do i have time still to grow taller ,how know if can ?

Maybe: Most males finish their linear growth by 17, but some will continue into their early 20's. An x-ray of your wrist and hand could confirm open growth centers that predict more growth. The expected final male height is the average of their parents height plus 2.5 inches. A balanced diet, proper sleep and exercise will support normal growth. No special exe3rcise or diet will make you taller.
