You will continue to grow...boys grow up to the age of 21.
You might want to go here, enter the required info and receive an estimate of how tall you will get to be. Remember, it is only an estimate!

Honestly, it depends on your country, but I would say that you're American since the 5.3 (5 feet, 3 inches) is in the old measurement.
For America, it is a few inches shorter than the average for your age. However, while girls are finished growing by that age, many guys will still add inches until the age of 20 or 21 years old.
One usual method is my looking at relative size of hands and feet. If your hands and feet are still relatively larger than average for your body size, then you will still "grow into them." Also, if you still "eat like a horse" you are probably still growing.

My son did grow an inch or so in college, but generally at 17 you will not gain much more height. Accept yourself for who you are and be content with it as much as you can. It is not the outside that counts--You may be 10 feet tall on the inside. Do not sell youself "short".

Genes tend to skip generations my mother's parents were tall (mom's mom was 5'9 and her dad was 6'3) she's 4'9 took after her great-grandmother whom stood 4'6. Most people grow in height until 21 but 5'8 or under is usually short for a guy. What matters in life though is if other's have good hearts and souls you measure another by their compassion.

Well, I'm 5'4, and all the guys I graduated with (senior year of high school) were taller than I was. That said, my neighboor kept growing up into college. So, the answer is hopefully. Keep in mind, though, shortness isn't all bad.

You have a couple of more years to grow, yes. Men grow until they are about 22-23 years old.

Some people are late-bloomers. Even if you've already gone through puberty, you can still have a growth spurt or slowly grow well into your 20's. I'm 6'1", so I'm sorry for you. Sometimes it can be better to be short though.

YES that is VERY short for a male at 17. But just think, you are closer to most female heights.. its OK
