Difficult to tell: since you haven't told us exactly how tall your mother and father are. There is a VERY approximate formula where you add mom and dad's height in inches, add 5 inches, and divide by 2. But the resulting number can be off by 4 inches either way! If you are already taller than your dad, then chances are you won't get a whole lot taller. At 16, you could possibly grow an inch or two more.
