    I had a growth spurt about your age. Shot up 3-4 inches over a 4 month period. So, I would say it's a possibility. I am now 6'1" while my dad is 5'11".

    Why are you bothering yourself with this? Your height is just a tiny part of who you are. I understand that at your age such things preoccupy you and peer pressure doesn't make it any easier but if you don't grow any single inch further don't stress too much about it you hear!? Unless you want to be a basketball player that is. Someone once said (I forgot where I heard it lol) that you should focus more on developing your existing strengths rather than on improving your weaknesses, (if you perceive your stature as a weakness I mean) and I think it makes sense. Take care

    Thanks for all your views. I really do want to get taller badly, just need it badly. I can't explain what's going on but I really need it. I need it.

    Boys will commonly grow until they're around 21. Lots of kids I knew came back their last year of school 3" taller than they were before that summer break. :)
