Growth: Chance are you have reached your full adult growth especially when you consider the heights of your parents. You can ask your doctor to take an xray of your left wrist to see if you have any more growth left.

Possibly: You may grow taller since you're only 16. By how much taller - cannot tell. It is genetically determined.
