Height is mostly genetic. Especailly if your parents are both average to small in height. It's the way it goes.

You just have to make sure you keep your Protein and Carbs in good order, and make sure you're getting about 1,200 mg of Calcium a day, to keep your bones growing for another 1-2 years.

If you end up 21 and 5ft 8", that's life. It's not the end of the world though, so don't sweat it.
