Balanced nutrition: Following a healthy diet, rest and exercise support growth.However, neither weight lifting or any other exercise will not make one grow taller than their genetic potential.If you want to know how much longer he has to grow, an x-ray of the wrist and hand can be analysed for bone maturity.When the growth centers fuse, they are done.

None: Boys usually have their main growth spurt in the mid-teens. Some may have a small second growth spurt after 18, but it depends on your family history. Most of the time your height velocity (how quickly you increase your height) is genetically determined. Eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, but you really can't change your height.

Yes!: Exercise will increase secretion of growth hormone naturally. And if added height does not come, he will be more muscular in less likely to be obese! But genetic factors are much more important in determining height!
