How do i become taller?

im 17 years old, im about 172 cm tall ( 5ft 6), idk if ill grow more. idk what age my growth will stop, im already taller than my mum, and i think im as tall as my dad or he might be just abut taller than me. i really really really wish i was 6 ft, as i train in the gym alot and i reckon if ii was at least 6 ft tall i would of had a better physique but anyway.

Is there a way to become taller? is there some sort of drug that can increase my height. i would really invest in it if its available. being short is my biggest fear. maybe not 6ft but at least being 5 ft 10 or 11.

maybe if i havnt stopped growing, that could add to me another 3-4 inches? please give me all the advice you have. im desperate

    You are still growing, I'm pretty sure you stop growing when you are 20-21. Also just eat really healthy foods, as this will encourage growth. But if your whole family is either shorter than you are the same height as you, that may be your maximum height...

    Unfortunately I stopped growing up when I turned 19, but fortunately I'm 6 foot 2 lol.

    -Take as much calcium as you can (milk, yogurt, or even calcium pills)

    -STRETCH! Try standing up and touching your toes for 30 seconds, sit down, spread your legs as far as you can and reach for each foot with BOTH hands for 30 seconds, do this for BOTH legs.

    -Do underdog stretch
