I'm 16 and only 5'3. my mom is around my height and my dad slightly taller than me.i really want to grow taller. how likely is it?

It really depends: on how far into puberty you are and how tall other relatives are on both sides of your family. Most boys often grow until they are 18-19,but if you're mostly or all the way through puberty that is less likely. Your mom is just below average height for a grown woman but your dad is on the short side.
