yea you might still grow, people grow till there early 20's but the only way to know if youve still got more growing to do is go and see a doctor and get xrays done to see if your growth plates are fused but some people are just naturally short and you may be one of them so be preapared that you mioght not get taller

You might grow, you might not grow, nobody knows. Some people have to be short you know, you just might me one of them, it's not a big deal.

It's possible you'll grow more, a friend of mine grew three inches taller after we graduated high school. But there is also a good chance that you won't grow taller, or much taller. I've been the same height since I was about 16 years old, and don't expect to grow any more. It's something you can't control, so it's not worth worrying over.

You can still grow into your twenties and there's really nothing wrong with being on the shorter side :)

You can still grow, you have a fair amount of 'growthing' to do. http://growingupboys.info/Calculators/TannerStage.htm this link should help you

Have you checked what stage of puberty you're in?
Considering you're 17, you're probably almost finished, but it's possible you could grow.

Do you lift weights? Apparently that stubs growth if you lift before 17-ish. My mate lifts and he's only like 5.5. Don't worry about it though.

You still have tons of time to grow. I was 5'4" in my sophomore year of high school, and was 5'10" by senior year. Since then I have grown another inch. I'm 5'11" now.

I'm 4'11 and i'm 15, i'll be lucky if i'm taller than 5'4" xD

Nothing much you can do about it really except let puberty do its thing.

It depends on whether or not you've really hit puberty.

There is always the possibility for growth, only time will tell.
