sorry not anymore, because you are already past the bone growth age.
What Are the Signs of Precocious Puberty?
In girls, the telltale signs of precocious puberty include any of the following before 7 or 8 years of age:
1. breast development
2. pubic or underarm hair development
3. rapid height growth - a growth "spurt"
4. onset of menstruation
5. acne
6. "mature" body odor

There are a few things you must consider, your mother's height and your father's height, and have you began to menstruate?
A doctor told my stepdaughter she would be a height between her mother and father and unlikely to exceed her mother's height by more than 4 to 5 inches. And girls typically only grow 2 years after they begin to menstruate and it is only in the torso not in the length of their legs.

It isn't true that you've passed the growing age.
I stopped growing when I was 21,believe it or not!! :0) I'm 5'7".My cousin was same as you but she was younger than you,my aunt took her to the doctor and he said it was because she was taller for her age.So,that could be possible.
You should go to your doctor just for precaution though.

There is a chance that you can grow taller.
One of my best friends mothers grew 2 inches when she was 19, this whole you have passed the growing age..... is not true.
it is rare that people will grow more, but it is not impossible and is probably your case.
