Hello guys, I am still pretty young and I think my growth plates are still open, although I have only grown around 1.2 cm in 1 year. My wingspan has grown 1cm the past 6months or so.
Here is some stats of my growth the over the past few years:
12 years old - ~145 cm
14 years old - 163.4 cm
15 years old - 165.3cm
16 years old - 166.6 cm (afternoon height) 167.2cm (morning height) I am so depressed about my height i had to mention my morning height ...
So as you can see i grew alot between 12-14 and my growth has since then drastically slowed down ... I doubt puberty is over since I only have one or two very long hairs on my chin while my 20 year old brother has quite alot more than me. I'm also just starting to develope hair on my inner thighs.
I hope to reach 168 cm as afternoon height before i turn 17 this summer and 170cm as my final adult height but by the looks of my growth rate these last few years I'm sceptical. However atleast I'm trying to grow as much as possible right now. I have changed my diet to a much healthier and more nutrious diet, I have been exercising a lot more - Swimming, running/jogging, martial arts. I even take Hyaluronic acid supplements as i heard this could help growth if the growth plates are not yet fused.
So yeah, my question is: Do you think i will continue to grow based of my growth rate the past 4-5 years(be honest)? And if so does excercising even help?
Thanks a lot guys and sorry if I posted this in the wrong section or something.
It's been exactly 2 months and I think I have grown abit unless I have been measuring myself inaccuratley. I went from 167.2 cm (morning height) to 167.9cm (morning height) it may not sound like much but it's enough to give me hope lol. I'll continue with a healthy diet and excercise as much as I can.

Growth plates are not all, you have to consider that the back continues growing after the plates are fused.
Not sure of my sitting height but i don't think it would be a reliable number anyways since i have a something i call ''duck ass'', basically my ass is pretty big and fat and sticks out a little bit. <.<.
Anyways, It's been a lil bit over 2 months once again and my morning height is now around 168.1 cm. My afternoon height seem to be around 167.2cm and my evening height ~166.7cm

I turned 17 in the beginning of july :S so I didn't reach 168cm as my goal... But what can i do other than start saving up money? xD
Just measured my sitting height and it is around 86cm, I have a big ass though so that probably adds up a couple centimeters, idk.
I measured my sitting height sitting on the floor against the wall btw not on a chair, if that makes a difference.
Thanks guys for the tip but if I were to take thos X-rays and find out that my growth plates are fused (which they probably are by now anyways lol) I'm afraid I would fall into some super deep depression and feel even more sorry for myself. So I rather not know for sure and just hope that I will grow a few cms xD.
So, it's been 1 year and a month since I updated my height, and I as of right now I am ~168.5 cm in the morning and almost 167cm in the evening. So I have growed around 1.2cm which I know isn't much but it is something. I'm hoping to grow atleast 1 or 2 more cms before I'm done growing. I'm turning 18 this summer so it's probably not much time left.
