No, it has to do with hormones, genetics, and the growth plates on your bones (when they fuse fully you won't grow anymore). As far as growth, some people notice stunted growth due to malnutrition, heavy weighlifting and injuries to their bones esp hip and leg bones (growth plate fuse together faster or break, stop growing). I don't recommend any of these

No. Why would you want to stop growing? You realize that your body is pre-programmed to be a certain height. If you were to somehow force your body to stop growing up, it would contine growing in other areas to the proportions it was programmed to. So if your hips and ribcage think you are supposed to be 6 feet tall, they are going to try to grow to a proportionate size. If you stopped growing vertically, you would look short and stubby.

First of all, why would you not want to be taller?
Secondly, to stop growing, just start lifting heavy weights. Seriously.

No. Work on accepting yourself at whatever height you reach. Outside appearance will matter much less to you when you are older.

you probably have reached your full height or very close to it. most boys stop at around 17.

You are so lucky! I am 5'3'' and I feel like short girls look stubby.
