There is a possiblity you'll grow taller. My son is over 6' tall, and his dad and I are no where near that height.

Science tells us that a person can continue to grow until 18. What you are doing now - drinking lots of milk and sleeping - can only add to your weight and body mass. Playing basketball may help you add some tangible inches to your height. Give it a try. You still have a long height to hit!

No,it is because of the genes from your parents and if your parents is short then the chance of you growing taller is very less since the generation from generation.
Good luck with growing taller

You are still young. You can still grow taller. Try to play basketball and with that you will be stretched lengthwise and not crosswise. Do eat a balanced diet.

You should grow more but perhaps not by as much as you would like. Some exercises improve posture, but none will actually make you grow taller.

You have a better chance of being taller if you have good eating habits and if you grow up in warmer climates.

Drink milk, eat well, your growth will take care of itself. Don't worry so much about growing taller.
