Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
Well usually male human bone growth stops after the age of 18 years, some might extend until 20 years but thats not the usual case. I am afraid that there will not be a dramatic increase of height.
what you can try is to get enough sleep at night, minimum 8 hours, specially when it gets dark. Workout, trying to naturally boost your growth hormone might help make the best out of the time that you might still have to add some height to your current stature.
