Tall is good: Your body is programed to go to a certain height and then stop. Only by being very ill, starved, or with serious damage to your growth plates would you stop growing. At your age, you will usually be near the height you will become. By 18, usually the growth plate area will have closed. Being tall is good. Height makes you look good in clothes, good for sports, girls think tall and muscular is cool

You are close: There is no safe way to stop growing taller. You are almost at the age when your bones fuse and at this stage you will not grow any taller.
