Unlikely to grow: At this stage you are unlikely to grow. Be happy with who you are, your height is fine

Growth last year?: If there was growth last year, may still grow some this year (must check the doctor's growth chart to know). Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's little one can do to change height.
