Predicted height: Your predicted height should be the average of your parents height + 2.5 inches. That would suggest that by genetic factors alone you should reach 69 in. If you haven't hit puberty yet, a hormonal evaluation should be done.Final growth comes after the pubertal growth spurt slows & stops.

You're 100?!: If really 16 and no puberty please see pediatric endocrinologist. No way to predict final height without a comprehensive pediatric endocrine evaluation.
