    If your still a growing teen and you want to stop or atleast slow down your growth, I suggest eating an unhealthly diet. Eat meals with salt and sugars, drink a lot of soft drinks(soda), sleep less than 8 hours a night, don't do any excercise, and do not eat meals that are high on protein. Drinking milk or atleast taking some sort of calcium will not make you grow but it will just make your bones stronger. That way, when you get older, your bones will still be healthy and it will not be easy for you to shrink. It's very important that bones have calcium so if you want to risk not recieving any calcium in your body, then go ahead. Not having enough sleep will prevent you from growing as tall as you can be. The only time you grow is when you sleep. Usually, after 5-6 hours of sleeping, thats when your growth hormones start to do its job but it can't if you only have 6 hours of sleep. Excercising helps release growth hormones so don't do any excercise if you want to stop growing as much as possible. Really, the main way to slow down or stop growth as a growing teenager is to be unhealthy...Eat junk food and drink soda, don't do excercise, be lazy, dont take any vitiams or eat/drink anything with(vitamin A, Vitamin D, Zinc, Magnesium, Chromium, calcium, and especially glutamine), try not to stretch as much as you can during the day, and just be as unactive with your life as much as possible. Hopefully this will help you, take care.
