Actually, I do believe you can. Most people do not grow after the age of eighteen. But I did. Really. When I was twenty-five I grew a half an inch. I was thrilled because I was only five feet tall. Then I was five and 1/2 inches tall. I stayed that height most of my life. Now, after recently being at the doctor's, apparently I am only five feet tall again. Old age, you know, I'm now shrinking!! I don't really care anymore. Height is one of the less important things in life. What's important is what's in your head, not how high up your head is.

I would say, according to medical science you can still grow.. man keep on growing though the ate of growth detoriates with age till 25 yrs and you can still grow. the height of the person also depends on the parenal gene that he has received from the parents and his family also.

There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.
1. Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture.
2. Secondly, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary inches” by improving your dressing coordination. You can get more information on specific exercises and fashion ideas by following the link below:

It will depend on your country.
If you belong to eastern countries like india,china ,japan.
U will not grow.
If you belong ot western countries means
U will grow upto 25 Years

It is possible, but I'm 5 feet 6 inches too, it's not exactly short you know. :)
I was 5 feet 4 inches tall, up until I was 21, then I grew to 5 feet 6 inches, so you could still grow a little bit. Some advice for you is to stand up straight and tall, head up, shoulders back, it makes you look taller, oh and if you can stand next to people who are shorter than you, it looks even better. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being shorter anyway, look at Tom Cruise and Michael J Fox and Dudley Moore, well Tom Cruise and Michael J Fox anyway, they're both cute. :)
