I'm 5'6" right now...
And I'm 17 and half years old...
I have always been late and I still don't have any facial hair.
My father grew late.
Will I still be able to grow maybe 3 inches?

It's quite possible! My son's doctor said a lot of boys have a growth spurt around the age of 18. Sure enough, he did. He shot up about 2 inches in just a few months. There's nothing wrong with being 5'6", though---a lot of famous hunks have been less than tall.

Puberty is still to come. Don't worry, if your father was late then so will you be! But don't worry its a normal process. And yes you'll grow, if your father grew. You might want to talk to your doctors for special vitamins that could help you a lot!

Yes. on average, growth ends at 21 years of age for males and 18 years of age for females. This has been confirmed by many doctors.

You can go to www.ahealthyme.com and use the height calculator tool to see. Some males don't stop growing till in their 20's.

In the Search for questions slot type in "grow taller" and you will get at least 3,400 results.

I think there's a good chance of that.
