You still have time: you still have time try to play sport like basketball. stretch your body on a poll. avoid heavy weight lifting. you can be as tall as your father at least stay active and hope for the best. you still have time.

Likely to grow more: Most men stop growing around age 18- but occ. some will grow until age 21 or so. Most 16 yo's will grow another inch or 2 but some have a late growth spurt and grow a few inches. Eat a healthy diet and take a good multivitamin, as low zinc can limit growth. Try going to sleep by 10 pm. Taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone can also help.
