High healed shoes: If you entered puberty the same time as your friends ; your bone maturity is that of an adult there is little you can do to increase your height.A single x-ray of your left hand can be assessed for bone maturity.If adult, you are done growing, if bony maturity is more like 15 yr you might grow an additional couple of inches.
