Did I stop growing? What can a teen do to grow taller?

I am 15, 16 in March and 188 cm. My dad is 189cm and my mom is 178 cm. I had my first growth spurt at 6th grade to 180 cm and ever since I grew to my current height. I barely grow much. I eat healthy, I workout but not too much and I try to sleep 8hrs a day. Is it possible that I have stopped growing? I know I am tall enough but I kinda want to be taller, like at least 190cm

Hello @moamzohar, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I moved your discussion and to another discussion of the same title where other teens have posed the same questions and concerns you have. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/did-i-stop-growing-at-14/. Knowing exactly when and where you will stop growing is difficult. @noamzohar, if you are comfortable sharing, is there a specific reason you would like to grow a few more centimeters yet, or is it just a desired height you are hoping to obtain?
