Do Carbs Help In Healthy Growth Of Height?

I wanted to know how tall you think I ll grow to. I have a modeling contract waiting with a contingency on my height. I m currently 5 6 and 15.5 years old. I just got my period like 3 months ago. Both of my parents are 5 8, everybody on my dads side is short, my moms mom is short, but my dads dad is very tall and was basketball player. Lately I ve been doing a ton of stretches and running, and my diet is pretty healthy. I treat my self to desert sometimes. I heard carbs are good for growing, so I eat better ones like oats, pasta, rice, etc.
