Look at all your brothers and sisters and see if height is the issue like if they are all short or tall as the family tree has a bearing on how tall we grow to be, then if you feel it is the average height in your family sometimes in your later years you will gain alot of inches and maybe even be 6 ft tall.

I do not think so. I think you are pretty much only to gain another inch or two. You stop growing taller at 16 or 17. And milk is high in fat & cholesterol not just calcium. Calcium makes your bones stronger, not grow.

well keep drinking your milk. Also it hasn't been proven but many scientists think that just stretching can help you grow an inch or so. (which is not a whole lot, but hey every inch helps when you're short)

Unlikely, all throughout puberty for several years I drank gallons of milk each day, and I only turned out 5'10.

It will help ensure that you'll grow properly and how tall you should be, but chances are you're not gonna be any taller just cuz your drank it.

Genes from both parents determine height - read your biology book

Make your bones stronger. Don't drink too much milk though. Too much of anything will make you fat.

Nope it won't make you taller at all, has nothing to do with your height.

No, odds on you will be exactly the same height as your Dad unless he was badly malnourished.
