Hi i'm 16 and i'm 5'7 is it possible to grow 2-3 more inches? ( i want to be a model, so most places require you to be 5'8/5'9 and up) oh and my dad is 6'2 and my mom is 5'3/5'4. just in case that helps.

Yes: you still have few years to grow. Make sure u eat right-proteins, fiber, healthy carbs like fruits. Get calcium in your diet-milk/yogurts. And stay focused on ur goal mentally without having expectations. Focus on what you want instead of what u don't want .
