Barry Sanders, Spudd Webb, Rocky Marciano, tons of professional athletes and great thinkers have been your height and that didn't stop them one bit.
Make do with what you have, be content with who you are and remember that you are exactly the way God designed you to be and not an ounce different.
Make your focus on what the Lord wants to accomplish through you rather than how you can be something different or like someone else.
You are unique and the way God wants to work through you will be unique as well if you place your trust in Him.

Usually assumed once a certain age is reached. Epiphyseal closure, if I'm not mistaken, occurs variably depending on the individual and particular bone, but for most and in general, by the age of 18 or so.

I think you stop getting taller somewhere in your lower 20s. You have a lot of growth left! If I were you and wanted to be taller, I would eat a really healthy diet so that I could grow to my genetically available maximum.
