Well, don't worry so much and eat healthy food. Males usually start their puberty at around 15-16 onwards. :)

Don't let that depress you. After you finish growing you need to accept what ever height you will be. I know many tall people who wish they were shorter.

measuring heighth - how tall we grow has little impact on the success we are able to achieve
What is your worry with heighth. There are smart men at short stature and there are smart men that manage the basket ball teams that they are not tall enough for. Being 15 you could grow more, however you need to see how tall your Dad and Grandfather were in heighth and then you should have an idea of how tall you will be. Be happy and make the most of whatever you turn out to be however tall you will be.
