The only thing you can do to increase your chance of getting taller is eating well. Chances are you're done growing though.
And you can ask a doctor how tall you're probably going to be by 21. They can sometimes give an estimate.

It's not true that you stop growing at 21, the skeleton stops growing at 27 years, so you may have a good chance of being taller. They say when you are two years old your half the height you will be as an adult, ask your mum how tall you were at two, mothers tend to keep records of such things.

By the age of 18 most guys and girls have reached their maximum..however you can do stretching exercises or try Pilates...but prob. not much more than an inch or two will gain from anything. Be happy with the way you are!!!!! Everyone will still love/care about/for you.

you probably won't get much taller, but if you are male-- how tall was your father? how tall was your mother? don't expect to exceed too far from their heights. also, rememeber that puberty ends around age 22 for you. They do have a surgery though (which I will tell you is ungodly painful) that will stretch your bones... but I wouldn't go for that if i were you.

it completely depends on your genetics. Some people dont grow after 18, many men do. I stopped growing at 13. You could have a big growth spirt, you could continuously grow slowly. Only time will tell.

you might not grow too much more, maybe an inch or two. growing is all up to genetics, so there isnt much to increase your chances. make sure you drink lots of milk to keep those bones strong!

i dont think you might grow after the age of 18. but i think that playing basketball and stretching alot might get you a some more inches.
