Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. You still have time to grow tall, however growth hormones have some efficacy and I would like for you to visit with an endocrinologist to run tests and see if you could be helped with that visit. Many people use growth hormones to boost their height, however there are risks and you should be aware.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
