im a boy. Can i grow taller now when im 17?!


Question: Im a boy. Can i grow taller now when im 17?
weight = 114 pounds (52kg)
age = 17
height = 5'9 (dream height = 6'1)
parents's height = 5'2 & 5'6

i know im thin and above parents's height, but it's 50% diet and % genetics.
i started eating very healthy 2 weeks ago, and i drink loads of milk! i do stretch exercises each day for 15 min. and i sleep alot and have perfect posture.
IF i gain 5 pounds every 2 weeks,.. will it effect my height? and "what do i eat"?
hm, cheese, veggies, fruits, eggs exc.. healthy stuff only, (no junk food)
my genetics dont come from my parents.. idk why but it just seems so. my genetics can come from whoever except my parents. cos im alot taller than them. my genetics can come from a beaver or a monkey but not my parents. xD
what hight you think i will reach?

It is quite possible that you will continue to grow for another year or so.



Possible, but i dont know if you will hit 6'1". Usually we all tend to finish growing in height by the time we hit 17-20, but i do have a nephew who had a huge growth spurt at around that age. He was about my height at 16 - a short 5' 6", then at his high school graduation less than 2 years later he was almost 5 inches taller than me!



maybe
