Probably not: Once your bones have fused further growth i height is not possible. This usually happens by the age of 18 or 19 in boys. Try to make peace with your height.

Unlikely to happen: Some kids 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.
