Answers:

Males typically stop growing at 15-16, while girls stop growing at 12-14 (sometime after their first menses). While jumping (and playing basketball) may help stimulate the growth plates in bones, it probably won't overcome your genetics. In other words, it sounds like you are probably maxed out.

Easy formula: if you are a male, take your mother's height, add two inches, and average that number with your father's height. If you are a girl, take your father's height, subtract two inches, and average that number with your mother's height.
