Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to us with your wish.
I may come true if you are still growing and your parents are tall.
Most girls will reach their full adult height between the ages of 15 and 17, depending on when puberty began.
Some men are done growing around the end of high school, while others continue into the college years. Puberty generally lasts two to five years, stopping around ages 17 to 19 for boys. At the end of puberty, the growth plates on the long bones close, which ends the normal period of growth.
Regards,
