(by saying everyone is really tall I mean the guys in the family are all above 5'11 and the girls are all above 5'9")

If you are 17, yes you will grow a few more inches or so. Be sure to eat healthy to keep those muscles going! When you hit your 40s and 50s, it is likely that you will shrink a bit. To prevent that, eat all your veggies and exercise! :)

I grew another inch between the ages of 17 and 21. So you still have a chance of hitting the big 5 8

Studies have shown that women sometimes continue to grow well into their 20's. Good luck!

it's possibly that you will grow a little more, but more likely that you will remain about 5'7", which is already above average height... so don't be too crushed by it.

I hear that you usually grow about 2 more inches after you have your period or for the first two years after it...:-)~
