Answers:
Many of you are probably wondering, Is it really possible for me to be taller.? The answer is yes, you can. For years it has been said that once you reach the age of puberty or adulthood, you stopped growing well consider this:
1. In. the sport of baseball, a pitcher's throwing arm is usually I to 3 inches longer than his other arm. This is a direct result of exercise, reached after the age of puberty.
2. The right arm of every professional Jai Alai player is at least 2 inches longer than his left arm (another result of vigorous exercise.)
3. There are also considerable regional differences of stature recorded at any given age, this variation being linked more to nutrition and socioeconomic conditions than to genetic factors.
This is a very strong proof that additional growth in the human body is possible after adulthood . In fact most scientist's today agree that it is possible to increase your height by 4 or 5 inches until you reach ages between 50 and 55 years old.

Some guys grow steadily, some in spurts, and there can be many spurts, starts and stops of growth.
As you're only 16, you have at least two years to go, possibly more, before finishing puberty, so you probably will grow taller, but how much can't be determined.
Just learn to be happy with what you get.
