You will continue to grow until you are around 21 or 22.

How tall is your father? Your uncles?

My father is only 5'11'' , my tallest uncle is 6'4''

I'm guessing you will end up somewhere in between those two heights.

Why do you want to be tall? Are you planning on a career with the NBA?

I can't do anything extra, as in stretching or anything to help this process ?

Yes I am planning that, I have colleges looking at me but I want to increase my height so I can be more versatile.

You cannot increase your height. Just eat with good nutrition in mind, so you body will do what it's programmed to do.

Did you ever hear of Muggsy Bogues? Height does not make you more versatile.

Height does make you more versatile, I know mugsy, he told me if he was taller he could have played any position on the floor.
