I have read that boys can grow until they are 23, so that is about another 10 years. Most boys stop growing when they are around 20 I would say. I don't think there is a way to speed up the growing process, you should look at your family history to see what the average height is because it is usually in your genes.

I have a cousin whose mom is 5'2" and his dad is 5'6" and he is 16 and 6'4". Genetics sometimes plays a part in how tall you will be, but nothing is definite! Also, my brother was the shortest guy in his grade (about 5'7") until the summer before his senior year. He graduated at 6" and is now 30 and is 6'3". There is hope for you, but you really are not THAT short!

Hey bro. When I was your age I was 6'2 but I'm from a long line of really tall people. I'm currently 23 years old and I'm 6'6" and a half. I guess the best way to judge when you'll stop growing is to ask your parents when they stopped. Seems that in my family that is a great way to tell.

Don't sweat it...it will be what it will be. If you want something to look forward to, I myself grew 4 more inches after high school and I am the tallest of anyone in my family (at 6'1").
