You have more time to grow yet as the male age to stop is 21.
At 5ft 8 you are not small anyway, but it's the male side of your close family you should judge against not friends.
A good way to find out what your height is likely to be is add your mum and dads heights together add 4 ins then divide the total by 2
It's usually quite close to the mark!
You are genetically programmed to be a certain height and the only people who would be given the medication that could increase growth need it at a much younger age than you are, and with far more reason.

hey at 17 your probaly still in puberty so you will still probaly grow at least 2 more in. and they do make shoes with insoles to give you a nother 1 to 2 in. good luck

hey tiny,
sorry had to :D
you probably will hit 5'9" maybe 5'10" if you are lucky, but the truth is that without extreemly painful cosmetic surgery and alot of learning how to walk again, you will never be much taller.
Hate to burst your bubble, but on the upside, shorter people statistically live longer.

well even though you asked for no one to say you should be happy with your self. i am going to say it because you have a decent height
