What do you suggest if i am 5' 1" and 16 yrs old. do i have a chance to grow taller?

Maybe: The answer depends on whether your growth plates are open or not. How far along one is in puberty can often help one estimate this, but ultimately your doctor should be able to give you an accurate sense of this, usually by taking an Xray of your hand to look at the growth plates. Girls are almost always done growing by 16, and boys usually pretty close to done....but there are always exceptions
