Most boys grow 'til: 18 yrs. The definitive check is to get a bone age x-ray wherein they take a x-ray of your wrist, palm, and fingers simultaneously. They are then compared to a book of standards. The classic was compiled by Gruelich and Pyle. That will tell you how many more years of growth you have left in your skeleton.
