 you might, my brother was very short for his age until he was 17 when he grew to 6ft in a few months. and my dad is only 5'10 so its probable that you will grow more but you should just accept your height the way it is because there isn't anything you can do to change your genetics. make sure you eat right though, that will help you reach your potential height. and this will seem less like a big deal the older you get if you learn not to dwell on it

 You will probably still grow, its hard to know what height you will get to but boys tend to keep growing until around 20 and girls usually stop at 18. I keep wondering the same about my son who is 14 and 5ft 5. His dad is 6ft 1 but Im only 5ft 3 and 3/4's and my daughter seems to have stuck at 5ft 2 for ages (16)so Im waiting for ONE of them to get tall like their dad but I dont think it will be my daughter now!!
