I'm 17 years old. My height is 5feet 3inches. Will I grow further?
I wish to be a little taller than now. Until what age shall my height increase? I'm sometimes jealous at people who are taller than me. Am I short for my age. Will any specific diet help to increase my height. Please help me!

Women usually until about 18, could go to 20.
Men more like 20 to 22.

Are you mail or female? Most females will not grow any taller after 17. Males can grow in height up to age 21, though that is a little rarer. No diet will increase your height. Just a regular healthy diet is what you should eat.

male human beings usualy continue to grow to the age of 20 -21. this includes filling out not just growing tall. usualy people dont grow any taller after age 18 or so. there is nothing you can do to grow taller. just find ways to be happy being shorter, there are many benefits i'm sure.

It all depends on who you are. You may be done growing, you may not. Sorry to say, but you most likely are. I was done growing by 9-10th grade, and Im going to be 5' 2" for the rest of my life. You are not short for your age. Look on the bright side: a lot of guys find short girls cute!
