Answers: Hi Amir, three factors that affect your growth rate are as follows :

(1) Your Genes
(2) Your Pituitary Gland
(3) Your Nutrition

The Pituitary gland sits as the bottom of the middle of your brain. Its secrets various harmones, one of them including the growth harmone. Growth hormone is the key factor that controls how tall you grow to be, and the amount of it that gets produced can vary from year to year and even month to month as you grow.

Nutrition can help, in the sense that undernourishment can cause growth to go more slowly. Eat well-balanced meals, with protein, vegetables, and all the vitamins and minerals you need.

You certainly can't control your genes, but with a well balanced diet, you centainly can suppliment the rate of increase. The only limiting factor is your age. By 19 years, the growth of an average person stops. There are medicines available in the market, but I am certainly not in favour of using those. In case you want to , consult your doctor before using those.

Just a note:
Scientists have cloned the gene for human growth hormone, and so the purified factor is now available for doctors to use. But they only use it in special medical cases where severely low levels of growth hormone can cause problems.

I think height is purely in the gene pool.
