Most females stop bone growth by the age of 15 but males will usually continue growing until the age of 21 rarely to the age of 25. A simple wrist x-ray will tell if your emphasis's have closed and bone growths has ended.

Dear WY:
Nope, I am afraid You will not grow any taller.
Human beings stop growing in height in average at 20 years of age in females and 21 in men.
the resons are manifold, however the main ae two: the growth hormone decreases in amounts in plasma, because the "little factory" or hypothalamus, will decrease its production.(it is located in the base of the brain screting the hormone through the hypophysis)
On the other hand at tose ages, the growing cartilages will have dissapeared form the bones they belong to, and futrthermore, growing in height after those ages, is not normal, and the growth of height and organs (included face, cheekbones, tongue) is called gigantismus.(a disease)
Yours faithfully

its possible because the body doesnt just shut off grow at exactly age 18. and know one knows a actual time. 18 is common becase you can visually tell that a person is growing . and plus growing means more weight. you may be still growning but the extra weight is pushing down also. since your feet and joints are not solid like steel.

You can have multiple growth spurts during your 20s, and into early thirties (though very rare).
Most of these spurts go unnoticed (other than a more receeded hairline and leg pain).
Hope that helps.
