No. The height is determined by your genes however, a person may not reach his/her potential height because of other factors: lack of nutrients in food in early childhood, hormonal problems.
What you can find is sports that can affect your height, for example, if an 11 year old starts heavily practicing weight lifting, the strength of his own muscles won't let his bones grow properly.
What we have heard about basketball make kids grow is a myth, just like gymnastic people are short. The truth is that taller kids do much better in basket ball than short kids and short kids do much better in gymnastics than tall kids

Nope. On the brightside, short guys can build muscle quicker than tall guys and look massively HUGE because of the proportion of their size. Lift heavy.

No. All those pills and treatments offered on the Internet are scam. There are hormonal treatments for people with growing deficiency, but these don't apply to you.

No. Nothing is going to make you any taller. It's genetics and you will only be as tall as you are supposed to be. No way to know and no way to get there any faster.

Yes there are but you have to do it when you're a teenager. Playing basketball and swimming laps will help you reach your full height potential.

I remember when I was a kid, kids used to hang from monkey bars thinking they would grow taller! (I was one of them!) It didn't work!

No, your maximum height is "pre-programmed" into your body and cannot be changed.
