Dear young friend, Greetings from HCM.. i understand your concern ... but do not panic at this stage .. you still can grow up to 25 yrs of your age... please play games like basketball, volley ball and skipping ... jumping exercises .. take milk and egg.. more of green leafy vegetables.. too finally height depends on the genetic profile which is final and you cannot cross that limit .. being healthy for given height is more important is it not??? so try and be healthy .. thank you and do contact us for more queries ...
